Einstürzende Neubauten: Blume lyrics
Chrysantemum for you I am a chrysantemum
Supernova, urgent star
Astera compositae for you Ill be a dandelion
A thousand flowerettes in the sky
Or just a drop in the ocean
If you know my name
Dont speak it out
It holds a power - as before
Liliacea a lily of the valley
A flower of saron
Helianthus annus for you I even be a sunflower
Do you hear my enlightening laughter?
Another reason to cut off an ear
You know my name, do you not?
Dont say it
For it is sacred, immovable - frozen
Rosa, anemone et nymphea alba Ill even be a waterlily,
A marygold, a rose
Or a little thistle
Euphorbia a blue dahlia, a black tulip
Thats where opinions differ
The scholars disagree
My name, should you know it
Remains unspeakable
And is spoken - malediction
[last line in libanese]
