Dedicated to a DreamA bird brings a dream and flies awayA boy sleeps under a sky shining with stars He has no worries What did you dream last night? I dreamed I became a bird Where was the voice of the bird in the dream? The bird in the dream was silent Like a mermaid Its brilliant song Hidden all its life Was just for one person Flying through a thousand nights Flying through a thousand stars Leaves shining a strange color Flowers shaped like fingers and hands Sleep sleep sleep Sweetly sleep Who is the boy? I am the boy Who is the bird? I am the bird Who is the dream? I am the dream Last night I dreamed I became myself I dreamed I became a bird I dreamed I became a dream (translated by Martha Collins and Linh To) |
