The Prophet - Ami Taf Ra.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : FATIMA WASHINGTON/Kamasi Tii Washington/ Kamasi music
[00:17.91]The Prophet chosen and beloved.
[00:22.95]The gates of his heart flung open.
[00:26.61]And his joy few far
[00:28.08]Over the sea
[00:36.75]With eyes closed he prayed
[00:40.20]In the silence of his soul
[00:44.43]How shall I go in peace
[00:45.60]Without sorrow.
[00:54.18]Who can part from his pain
[00:59.40]And his aloneness without regret
[01:03.27]Fragments of spirit scattered in these streets
[01:07.35]A burden and an ache
[01:12.42]It is not a garment I cast off this day
[01:16.29]But a skin I tear with my own hands
[01:21.60]Nor is it a thought I leave behind me
[01:25.11]But a heart made sweet with thirst
[01:30.42]For to stay through the hours
[01:34.47]Burn in the night
[01:34.98]Is to freeze and crystallize
[01:42.90]And be bound in a mould
[01:48.81]A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips
[01:52.02]That gave it wings
[01:52.62]Alone must it seek the ether
[02:00.96]And alone shall the eagle fly
[02:03.09]Sons of my ancient mother
[02:10.47]You riders of the tides
[02:15.27]How often have you sailed in my dreams
[02:19.14]And now you come in my
[02:23.73]Awakening which is my deeper dream
[02:27.81]I am ready to go sails to the wind
[02:36.33]Oh Prophet chosen and beloved
[02:38.01]A dawn into his own day
[02:40.62]Oh Prophet chosen and beloved
[02:47.70]This is what he say
[02:48.21]Shall the day of parting
[02:48.66]Be the day of gathering
[03:00.66]And shall it be said that my eve
[03:03.63]Wasn't truth, my dawn
[03:10.89]The elders of the city stood forth and said
[03:14.55]Go not yet away from us
[03:19.29]A noontide have you been in our twilight
[03:22.74]Your youth has given us dreams to dream
[03:27.24]No stranger are you among us
[03:33.00]But our beloved son
[03:33.69]Suffer not yet our eyes
[03:34.14]To hunger for your face
[04:41.85]Let not the waves of the sea
[04:43.86]Separate us now
[04:52.02]Nor the years you have spent in our midst
[04:52.92]Become a memory
[04:56.67]You have walked among us a spirit
[04:58.53]Your shadow a light upon our face
[05:06.21]Much have we loved you
[05:10.56]But speechless was our love
[05:15.12]Yet now it cries aloud unto you
[05:21.30]And revealed before you
[05:24.39]And ever has it been that Love knows
[05:26.28]not its own depth
[05:47.67]Until the hour
[05:48.21]Of separation
[05:51.84]Oh Prophet of god chosen and beloved
[05:54.12]In quest of the uttermost high
[06:06.15]Oh Prophet of god chosen and beloved
[06:11.46]In quest of the uttermost high
[06:12.09]Now your ship has come
[06:12.51]And you must need to go
[06:12.99]Deep is your longing,
[06:13.38]for the place of your great desires
[06:18.27]And Our love will not bind you
[06:22.86]Nor our needs hold you
[06:23.43]Yet we ask before you leave us
[06:30.93]That you speak into us your truth
[06:35.76]And we will give it unto our children
[06:38.88]It shall not perish
[06:45.66]In your aloneness, you have watched with our days
[06:49.02]And in your wakefulness, you have listened
[06:51.30]To the weeping and laughter of our sleep
[07:10.53]Oh Prophet of god chosen and beloved
[07:11.49]Speak to us your truth
[08:03.36]Oh Prophet of god chosen and beloved
[08:09.57]This we ask of you
