Czeslaw Niemen - Ode to Venus lyrics

Hear my tuneless songs That found a way to rhymes of pain I have praised you long, Long before I knew your name. O Goddess of all spheres The fairest soul my eyes have seen The riddle of your fears Conceals a proud , inhuman queen. You're all divine , you're all but mine To my love there is no end It's grown beyond the false or true Eternity is my best friend I'll wait for you. I have sung my heart of hearts My own true self I haven't lied with but one sound And you were unable To colour the paleness of your cheeks With a blush of confusion. O wretched creature Do you now how much tenderness Has a branchy , weeping willow Listening intently to the music Of the wind –its supreme lord? Bowing by the roadside Hasn't it more beauty Than the proudly, silent splendor Of your marble countenance? Listen thou to the last complaint Of my restless blood And be thou born of the spirit And be thou blessed without the halo Without a crown of glory. O Venus I dreamed of love, now new begun I learned you too can gleam O Venus, Venus, Venus My song is sung, my prayer's done Thought cold, your stars will beam!
