I am A Stranger

by Nilora

I am a stranger
In the land of wonder
I am alone
In the city of Molly Malone

I want to talk with a sparrow
I don't know how
I want to walk on the sky
I don't know why

But Love says :
"Come, let me fetch wine;
we will get drunk
on strong drink,
Tomorrow will be just as wonderful as today
And even more so." (Isaiah 56:12).

Birthday in the Rain

by Nilora

The night is beautiful
The time is flexible
The night is raining
The time is flying

We are listening
We are talking
We are laughing
We are blushing
We are multi-cultural people

They are blooming
They are gloomy
They are cheerful
They are tearful
They are multi-cultural people

This is a crowded house
This is a frenzied place
This is 'en saine'
This is ‘insane’
This is a multi-cultural world

There I find ‘wisdom’
‘Chokmah’
There I find 'God'
'Elohim'
There I find 'Lord'
'Yahweh'
There I find 'Bachus'
the 'god of wine'
on the Saturday night

It is time to Say Goodbye

by Nilora.

When I was a kid …
You walked with me along the beach
To enjoy the beautiful waves of the sea
You allowed my small hands
To feel the cold of the sea
You gave me freedom
To build my own sandcastle

When I was a kid …
You always cut a young coconut
I drank first
You drank later
It didn't bother you

When I was a kid …
You taught me how to read
A … B… C…
You taught me how to write
1 … 2… 3…

When I grew up…
I left you alone…
I've walked across the nations
I've lived in various traditions
I'm happy
My happiness is your blessedness
It is the fruit of your kindness

One night I dreamt about you
I saw you were sick
I saw many angels around you
I woke up…
My body was sweating rapidly
My hand was trembling nervously
My heart was beating quickly
It was a nightmare
It was a sleepless night

I called home
I just wanted to say hello
And to listen to your voice
What I got was a bad news
You had already passed away …
Three months ago…
Nobody told me…
I was angry…
I was crying…

Day after day
Months after months
Years after years…
I never accepted your departure
You kept coming to my dreams
You kept singing in my mind
I never wanted you to go…

This time…
I feel…
It's time to say goodbye …
I let you go… my dear grandpa…
Wish you rest in peace…
Goodbye… goodbye…
