Une île est une chanson française écrite par Serge Lama
Musique: Yves Gilbert
(C) 1969 by Sidonie et Éditions Serge Lama 

Refrain / chorus
 Une île entre le ciel et l'eau
Une île sans hommes ni bateaux,
Inculte, un peu comme une insulte,
Sauvage, sans espoir de voyage,
Une île, une île
Entre le ciel et l'eau.
1 Ce serait là, face à la mer immense
Là, sans espoir d'espérance,
Tout seul face à ma destinée,
Plus seul qu'au coeur d'une forêt,
Ce serait là dans ma propre défaite
Tout seul sans espoir de conquête
Que je saurais enfin pourquoi
Je t'ai quittée, moi qui n'aime que toi.
R Une île comme une cible d'or
Tranquille comme un enfant qui dort,
Fidèle à en mourir pour elle,
Cruelle à force d'être belle;
Une île, une île
Comme un enfant qui dort.
2 Ce serait là, face à la mer immense
Là, pour venger mes vengeances,
Tout seul avec mes souvenirs,
Plus seul qu'au moment de mourir.
Ce serait là, au coeur de Sainte-Hélène,
Sans joie, sans amour et sans haine
Que je saurais enfin pourquoi
Je t'ai quittée, moi qui n'aime que toi.
R Une île entre le ciel et l'eau.
Une île sans hommes ni bateaux,
Inculte un peu comme une insulte,
Sauvage, sans espoir de voyage.
Une île, cette île, mon île
C'est toi.

Lyrics:

He would arrive at half past four
He took the garbage beside my door
He said I can’t talk of it anymore
In my mind, there is always war
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
 
He carried the bags in his hands
Filled with bodies from the jungle land
He called at night, said do you understand
What could I say to the burning lamb
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
 
He’s not going be on the next train
He’s not going to come in from the pouring rain
He’s not going to give his kind regards
It’s really, really too hard
 
He came home no one cared
He had a face crippled by wear
Memories of those lads placed on his back
All that weight too much to ask
 
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Yes, he’s gone, he’s not coming back
Because Joe is still in Vietnam
Because Joe is still in Vietnam

Joe Is Still In Vietnam (Studio Version - Nickel and Steel)

method: the soundstream, mostly  in sth akin to c minor, was created on a minilogue xd, voice went through a VT 4 and a flamma pedal
narration: "shadow work" is quite a cumbersome and unsuitable expression for something extremely real (note: this is a poem, don't take things literally, e.g. the "pictish murals" - the rampant  illiteracy regarding poetic means is a sign of the times that is increasingly bothering me .... )  
image: copyright jo richter, showing part of a public monument in the Werratal region in Germany that somehow reminded me of Pink Floyd ;-)

poem / copyright jo richter:

what is it like to smile
with no time to spare?
what is it like to frame
moments in memory?
what is it like to cut
yourself off and not care?
what is it like to be
you, to be me?

... and the landscape we live in
feels familiarly alien
purple thoughts rolling and soaring
tethered to if, tethered to when ....

hands on the hilt, shouting
down strangers
on pictish murals, the gods
never bother
caressing masks that smell
of their wearers
othering others for others
to other

... and the seeds sown do not know
of their nature
until they ripen and show
each unique feature ....

shadow and I

SHADOW  AND  I

You Found Your Man

Traducción y voces: Daniela B & Daniela C

1-Comprendí, Oh! Señor, que en lo profundo,
de Tu corazón hay un deseo,
Tener un complemento que te iguale,
que te conozca, desee y te ame.
Es por esto que llegaste a ser hombre,
para así conocerme y alcanzarme,
Tú dejaste Tu gloria, qué alto precio,
por una novia que eternamente
Contigo vivirá.

Coro:
Recobra mi corazón, que te ame más;
mi mente que te conozca más;
mi fuerza para vivirte más, Oh! Señor!
Ser hallado en Ti y Tu en mí,
Tu y yo siendo uno, así vivir.
Disfruto de Ti y Tu de mi,
Oh! este es Tu recobro y Tu satisfacción.

2-Oh! atráeme Señor junto con otros,
que en pos de Ti corran y no de otro.
En tu deseo y vida haznos vitales,
Dispuestos a ganarte y completarte.
Tu necesidad es la más grande,
ya que el "YO SOY" y el Gran Creador Tu eres.
Nuestro Amado y tan querido Novio,
¡Está esperando cumplir Su sueño en los
que Él ganó!

1-I just realized dear Lord, You’ve had a longing
Deep within Your heart from the beginning.
Just to have a companion who would match You,
Who would know You, want You, and would love You.
This is why You became a man just like me
So You could know all my feelings and could reach me.
Oh You paid such a price, You left Your glory
To gain a people, a bride to live with You... eternally.

	So recover my heart to love You more,
	Recover my mind to know You more,
	Recover my strength to live You more, O Lord.
	I’d be found in You and You in me
	Living together constantly.
	Enjoying each other mutually.
	Oh this is Your recovery,
	This meets Your need.

2-Draw me Lord, together with some others
Who would run after You, and not another.
Make us vital in Your life and purpose,
Willing to know You, gain You, and to match You!
Above all, dear Lord, Your need is greater
Since You are the “I AM”— the ‘Great Creator’!
Matchless One, our Lover, and dear Bridegroom,
Expecting to realize Your dream in all You have won!
