igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
Apparently I'm translating another song... I know I said I wasn't going to do any more (I always say that), but since in the space of a day I now have a chorus and a middle verse out of three, it looks as if I am fairly embarked upon it!Ramblings )
This seems to be a slightly elegaic song addressed to an aging spouse:
Oh, how we long to love and to be loved in turn,
For miracles to hope and hope again,
And know that all our troubles cannot last for long
While love holds out for ever and a day...

CHORUS:
Linger on, linger on evermore
As you fall even now, shooting star --
Linger on evermore, linger on
Life of ours, without equal alone.
