An Unsung Lament
Weaving threads at dawn is the silence around.
With the golden light, morning and harmony comes.
The singing wind seeks Pan, awakening him.
Rays from his eyes will guide the sun to find everything.
Male choir: Female counterpoint:
Upon the dewy grass, alone he will pass. Deep inside the forest there are poems that no one is able to find.
Breathing the colours. and let them ascend to the sky.
Upon the dewy grass, alone he will pass. Deep inside the forest there are poems that no one is able to find.
Mixed choir: Sopranos counterpoint:
From the god of the leafy green, now hear an unsung lament. In grief I roam the forest
What he has told the trees at night, morning born he will not tell. I will preserve the secret
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Arcadia praise its mountain for him.
Mixed choir: Distant female counterpoint:
Echoes call from the battle of Typhon and Zeus, raging within. Remember, remember
They are drawn to the surface, rising Ah! Remember, what is your fate? Remember
to the glance to form a view of his own eternity. Remember, remember
Lord of the wild, shepherds and nature unbound
joining the nymphs as spring seduces winter to pass.
Pointing horns of goat see them gracing his head,
feel the infernal fury of beast and of man.
Lord of the wild, shepherds and nature unbound
joining the nymphs as spring seduces winter to pass.
Mixed choir: Female counterpoint:
Goddess of the moon Selene- shines to once again attract him.
All fertility concealed inside brings fire to ash. Tell me, can you see me by the moonlight I am yours.
In peace for a moment, he is caressing the sky and the flute made in honour of his beloved Syrinx.
He closes both his eyes, puts down his flute in silence, hearing her voice call unto him
Walking in solitude eternal and divine,
for to venture on alone destined you are.
Pictures of yesterday no memories.
Chase the singing wind tomorrow and another age will trace the sun.
Pan hear me!
Pan:
- I hear you but tell me now when stars begin to falter, where am I as I am not here? Reborn to the human soul (in the ever after)
