Imaging (song)

This is my journal entry for the Imaging class. The translation is on the journal and also below.

Watercolour

In a piece of paper

I draw a yellow sun

And with five or six lines

It’s easy to make a castle

Tracing a pencil around my hand

I give myself a glove

And if I make it rain,

With two strokes of a pencil

I have an umbrella

If a small drop of ink

Falls on a blue piece of paper

I instantly imagine

A beautiful seagull

That is crossing the sky

It flies away,

Crossing the horizon

From North to South

I’m flying along with her

Travelling Hawaii

Beijing or Istanbul

I paint a saiboat

That is smoothly sailing away

There’s so much of sky and sea’a immensity

In a blue kiss

Through the clouds

A beautiful airplane in pink and maroon

Is coming

Colouring all around it

With its lights blinking vividly

With a bit of imagination I see it

Taking off, quietly and beautifully

And if we want it to,

We can make it land.

In a piece of paper

I draw a ship

Leaving the quay

With a few good friends

Drinking in peace with life

From one America to the other

I go in a second

I just turn a compass

And in a circle I make the world

A boy walks

And walking he reaches a wall

Over this wall, not far from it

The future is waiting for us

And the future is a spaceship

We try to control

It is timeless and merciless

There’s no right time for it to come

Without asking for permission

Changes our lives

And then invites us

To laugh or cry

In the road ahead us we can’t

Know or see what’s about to come

No one truly knows where’s heading us

We’re just going along

Crossing a beautiful footbridge

Painted in watercolour

That someday will fade away

In a piece of paper

I draw a yellow sun

(That will fade away)

And with five of six lines

It’s easy to make a castle

(That will fade away)

I just turn a compass

And in a circle I make the world

(That will fade away)
