I want the light to shine on the horizon in the morning.

I want it to shine on the horizon in the morning.

I want the wind to be soft and gentle.

I want the crowns to rustle and sing to goodness.

 

I want cleanliness in the backwoods.

In the remote areas in silence.

Those clean rivers and estuary

More springs from the bottom.

 

 I want cleanliness in the alleys

And in the streets among the crowd

I want less evil in the back alleys

And poison in the alleys of the country

 

 I want cleanliness in our souls

I want true light to shine

 Without deceit and sincerity flowing

Illuminating the good sunrise

 

Purity of conversation and meaning

Without substituting the days of existence

That the word is loved and pure

To speak the truth at all times

 

I want a pure relationship

Kind and gentle words

I want more pure moments

Without the greedy and mean chains

 

I want to hear pure music

The sound of poetic truth

And to people who are kindred

Each as a friend to the other.

 

I'll fill a moment with purity

And I'll make a wish again

I wish that in the early morning

In the morning, the light will give us a glimpse

Beneath the blue of the sea,

The bloody thread leaving a trail,

"The dolphin, harpooned, floundered in the net.

The dolphin, with his eyes radiating light.

 

He was torn, tearing deep beyond the cliffs.

He did not want to lose his freedom.

Screaming, roaring, squeaking and crying...

Born to help people,

 

And on top of the barge a bunch,

The bait of his creepy bait,

"The fiends throw their bait, and they laugh loudly.

The demons laugh in the morning.

 

The dolphin's cries and shrieks are heard:

-Save me, mother of God,

I can still cut the waves,

I want to save people again...

 

Something glistened quickly with a glare,

And the net was lifted up with a ladder.

The dolphin saw before him

The people's hatred and laughter.

 

-"My heart is broken, my body is wounded.

And my life is on the line...

I love you he shouted to the people

Lying on the deck in the sand

This is life - thoughts-scratches,

Each tier is a new twist...

Fate creeps in, unkempt,

Shading life's sprout.

 

Ungroomed, old, ragged;

In the twilight of mundane days.

Pulls a tattered leaf to the sky.

In the labyrinth of these chains.

 

Scratches heal slowly,

Time only leaves a scar.

From the sprout grows a tree,

Dividing fate in two...
