letra de lonh - kaija saariaho

when the days are long in may
the sweet song of birds from afar seems lovely to me
and when i have left there
i remember a distant love
i walk bent and bowed with desire
so much so that neither song nor hawth-rn flower
please me more than the icy winter

never will i enjoy love
if i do not enjoy this distant love
for a n0bler or better one i do not know
anywhere, neither nеar nor far
so high is its true, real price
that thеre, in the kingdom of the saracens
i wish to be proclaimed her captive
sad and joyous, i will separate from her
when i see that distant love
but i know not when i will see her
for our lands are too far away
there are so many passages and paths
and in this i am no seer
but let everything be according to god’s will

i will feel joy for sure when i ask her
for the love of god the distant love
and if it pleases her i will live
near her even if i am from far away
then will come our faithful meeting
when i, the faraway lover, will be so near
that i will console myself with her beautiful words

i really trust in the lord
through whom i will see the distant love
but for something that fails me
i have two sorrows for she is so far away
ah, if only i were a pilgrim there
so that my stick and my bundle
could be seen by her lovely eyes

god who made everything that comes and goes
and formed this distant love
grant me the power of my heart
soon to see the distant love
truly in a propitious place
and that the room and garden
always appear as palaces to me
he speaks true who says i am avid
and longing for the distant love
for no joy gives me pleasure
like the pleasure of the distant love
but what i want is forbidden to me
so my godfather endowed me that though loving
i will not have been loved

but what i want is forbidden to me
so may my godfather be cursed
who made me not to be loved
