A Song : Blume (Japanese version)

Recently I made a channel on Youtube - The Salamandrina's channel, where I put the videos and songs I like...

One might think I have too much time on my hands if I'm starting a new blog or making a channel. In fact I have no time at all. It is just a way to keep myself sane and satisfy (or rather cheat myself that it works) a need to share...This is not of course satisfying at all, as there is usually zero feedback, and it is not really alleviating my solitude even by little, but the need to speak, ah, the need to say, to share is too big...
But, I'm afraid, it's either this, or I start talking to trees soon...

Anyway, here is a song featured there on my Youtube channel, by Einsturzende Neubauten, called "Blume" (i.e. flower)...
Needless to say, the song is amazing, beautiful and I like the Japanese version perhaps the most...
So here it is.




Blume (English version) lyrics:

Chrysantemum For you I am a chrysantemum
Supernova, urgent star

Astera Compositae For you I'll be a dandelion
a thousand flowerettes in the sky
Or just a drop in the ocean

If you know my name
don't 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?
don't say it
For it's a sacred, immovable - frozen

Rosa, Anemone et
Nymphea alba
I'll even be a waterlily,
a marygold, a rose
or a little thistle

Euphorbiaa blue dahlia, a black tulip
that's where opinions differ
the scholars disagree

My name, should you know it
remains unspeakable
and it's spoken - malediction
