lyrics

Islands Of Dawns

I am born of the dawn, dancing like a fawn
I follow the crow through the window
Wind blows singings of swans, apples of bronze
Delicious fruits of the islands of dawns

Under the hill sinks a river, the river of a peaceful love
She opens the door swimming ashore
Strange creatures and mixtures, captures my soul
In the mystery of the islands of dawns

On the ripples of love we move slow
And the sorrowful snow dances a tango
Dusts of a butterfly in the sun of July
Fly us away to the islands of dawns

At the end of this world, naked and bright
Lies a women with a gilded crown
Ô my old and dear friends, it's time to farewell
I join the dream of the islands of dawns






Je suis fils de l'aurore, je danse tel le faon
Au travers de la fenêtre le corbeau m’indique un chemin,
Le vent murmure le chant des cygnes, ces pommes de bronze, ces fruits délicieux des îles de l'aurore

Sous la colline coule une rivière, la rivière d'un amour paisible
Elle ouvre la porte en nageant vers la rive.
D’étranges créatures capturent mon âme
Dans le mystère des îles de l'aurore

Nous bougeons lentement sur ces vagues amoureuses
La neige en pleurs danse un tango.
Dans le soleil de juillet, des papillons en poussière
Nous emmènent jusqu’aux îles de l'aurore

A la toute fin de ce monde, une femme à la couronne dorée s’allonge, nue et éclatante.
ô mes chers vieux amis, il est temps de se dire adieu
Je rejoins le rêve des îles de l'aurore
Des îles de l'aurore . . .




W. B Yeats:

'The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquility
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enameled sea

Here we will moor our lonely ship
And wander ever with woven hands
Murmuring softly lip to lip,
Along the grass, along the sands,
Murmuring how far away are the unquiet lands...'

Alain Servant Dublin, Ireland

The music of Alain Servant is a synthesis of his years of artistic vagrancy. His practice is based in narrative: his craft is the construction of worlds where everything is distorted yet illuminated. Listening his albums is like rolling through the shifting narrative structure of a dream revealing a unique wisdom that weaves piss and vinegar parables, speaking reassurances in hoarse tones. ... more
