Francoise Hardy " Des Ronds Dans L'Eau" (circles in the water)

Last time I listened to this it was on a road trip to the Oregon Coast from Salt Lake in Feb. I had found Francoise H. At the Salt Lake Library, 5ra became found of her music as we listened in my little blue Honda 91' CRX in the dead of Rocky Mountain winter to a 71 degree coast. Its funny how we store feelings/memories with music. There is no 5ra in my life now. But I will always love beauty no matter how old my body grows the spirit is immortal. Love Lives Forever- in the coldest climates- in the driest deserts, in the youngest and oldest man- even in the ugliest modes of man beauty lives on.
English translation:
You began your life
.Near the border of a brook
.You lived by these noises
.That run through the rosebushes
.That climb the roads
.That are filtered by the thickets
.The wings of the mill
.The churchbells at noon

.Underscoring with a smile
.The song of a bird
.You took pleasure
.In making circles in the water

.Today you swerve (?)
.In less tranquil waters
.You indulge yourself, and you float
.But love, where is it?
.Ambition has its rules/laws
.Ambition is a cult
.You would like your voice
.To dominate the tumult

.You would like to be loved
.More or less as a hero
.Who - nevertheless - would know
.(how) To make circles in the water

.If there are all these witnesses
.That you want at your back
.Admit to yourself that they might as well
.Seeing those circles in the water
.Take you for an idiot
.The village fool
.Who has remained there
.To make circles in the water
.To make circles in the water
- Its in the litle quiet time that Love speaks the loudest.
