lyrics

GEMINI's LIGHTS
(c)2017 Cyndi Corkran & Thierry Coupey

Through long hours of pure delight
(Durant des heures de pur plaisir)
High above the hills
(Seul sur cette montagne)
Homer enjoys this blissful night
(Homère savoure la nuit)
Standing oh so still
(Seul et immobile)

He's getting old and trembles
(Il est si vieux qu'il tremble un peu)
As he gazes at the stars
(Les yeux humides vers les étoiles)
Tonight is clear
(Le ciel est clair)
He just embraces
(Et il tend les bras)
The light of Gemini
(Vers les lumières des Gémeaux)

(Pre-chorus)
He's measured the distance
(Il estime leurs distances)
With a rope and a sextant
(Avec une corde et un sextant)
In his hands
(Dans ses mains)
He sees what others haven't seen
(Il décrit les constellations)
Knowing no one could imagine
(Il leur donne une histoire et un nom)

(Chorus)
Here is Gemini !
(Voici les Gémeaux)
With billions of lights
(C'est leurs millions d'étoiles)
For the Brotherhood of Mankind
(Pour l'homme et ses frères)
Illuminate the night
(Qui brillent tout là-haut)
Here is Gemini !
(Voici les Gémeaux)
With billions of lights
(Et leurs millions d'étoiles)
Shining in the Heavens
(Déversant leur lumière)
And lighting up the Hades
(Aux tréfonds de la Terre)
Oh Oh Ooooh
Oh Oh Ooooh
Gemini ...

(Instrumental break)

Gods were there for everything
(Des Dieux, il y en avait pour tout)
In this ancient land
(En ces temps anciens)
Zeus, a Swan came down to Earth
(Zeus, en Cygne descendit sur Terre)
To lie with Leda
(Pour féconder Leda)
Homer says she was a Queen
(Qui était Reine, selon Homère)
Who married so young
(Mariée si jeune)
The king of Sparta
(À Spartes et son Roi)
And the Swan gave her Twins
(Et le Cygne lui donna jumeaux)
The Twins of Gemini
(Les frères des Gémeaux)

(Pre-chorus)
But it wasn't in Zeus' plan
(Mais ce n'était dans son plan)
To let the mortal one
(De voir partir le mortel)
Leave early,
(Aussi vite)
Too early
(Aussi tôt)
Oh then he joined
(Alors dans une rage-éclair)
Darkness and lights
(Il joint Ténèbres et Lumières)
In what we knew as Gemini
(En ce qui devint les Gémeaux)

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)
(Gospel Delirium)
