I was the sun’s golden rose
_____
Rain of wine, bubble of love
_____
And my palace was youth
_____
When I sang, you dreamed
Blind with delirious illusion
_____
While they clap behind the curtain
_____
At dusk the old God dies
That the victory is great
_____
I was the diva of that nation
_____
My voice filled great theaters
_____
And my palace, so beautiful yesterday
_____
Later it was of loneliness and marble
_____
Among a thousand flags, crosses and skulls
_____
While they clap behind the curtain
_____
At sunset you die, old Europe
And I take refuge in alcohol
_____
A chimera, a song
