A voice above the Ocean
Author: Unknown
My voice rises above the ocean,
I am longing for you, so far and so alone.
Hear my call, Ô magnificent goddess,
It's your prince who calling you.
Listening to my voice, your steps have stopped.
Listening to my song, your heart has stopped.
The cruise of the time was suspended,
And the wide space was tinged with blue.
Your eyes getting up towards my voice
which implores you, from the other side of the sea
She begs you to come back to my shore,
Where you and I, together, would be so happy.
With a graceful gesture, you have taken your harp,
And with your nimble fingers, you gently touch the strings.
I hear your song in my turn that the ocean takes me back,
preceded by a white dove which anounces me your love.
Like a messenger from the gods,
She said that soon we will be together,
What we'll stand tenderly entwined
At the edge of the ocean that separated us so much.
The dove said, "love has no boundaries, no distance,
It is eternal and even, time has no hold on him.
FOr me, the greatest benefits will be your shared love,
and the vision of your eyes flooded with happiness. "

I am loning for you so far and so alone
Hear my call o Handsome god
Its your principessa calling you
harp notes i hear and i stopped,
the fingers told the sea
tell the wind !
to tell the dove
my shore is far so closed out i remain
how do i reach the message by the dove -
the boundaries locks me out
and the vision of your eyes flood me
