Waters

In the waters of my mind

There’s plenty, there’s plenty of room

Once full, once empty.

The depths of the soul are great

Greater than galaxies of million years.

In the waters of my mind

My instincts have the shape of animals wild

Creatures wild.

Emotions as flowing rivers or drying ponds of sadness

And happiness lakes.

It’s dark and it’s bright at the same time

It’s cold and it’s warm depending on the nights.

I live I love I die at the same time

I laugh and I cry in the waters of my mind

In the waters of my mind.

In the waters of my mind

Colours have the substance of life,

Substance of real life

Sounds and voices shady and blurred as clouds

Or loud and clear.

It’s dark and it’s bright at the same time

It’s cold and it’s warm depending on the nights.

I live I love I die at the same time

I laugh and I cry in the waters of my mind

In the waters of my mind.

’Ua tahe te pape o tō’u orara’a

I roto i tā’u mau moemoeā

Hītāpere, moana, vāve’a

I roto i tā’u mau moemoeā

I swim swim and I dive deep down

I drown sometimes when the moon is high

Even if I’m tired I try.

I swim swim yes I dive deep down

I come back to the surface at times

To breathe the essence of who I am

The essence of who I am

It’s dark and it’s bright at the same time

It’s cold and it’s warm depending on the nights.

I live I love I die at the same time

I laugh and I cry in the waters of my mind

In the waters of my mind.

’Ua tahe te pape o tō’u orara’a

I roto i tā’u mau moemoeā

Hītāpere, moana, vāve’a

’Ua tahe te pape o tō’u orara’a

I roto i tā’u mau moemoeā

Hītāpere, moana, vāve’a
