From the CD "Lovéren" by David Arkenstone, featuring the vocals of Charlee Brooks. 2013 / QDV Recordings "The tale of Lovéren comes from an original story by Steven Vlasak. The title character is a young mermaid who defies her parents one night and swims to Lumaria, an enchanted city some distance from her home. She meets a handsome merman named Kayan and they fall in love. Lovéren returns home early each morning before her parents awaken and then swims back to Lumaria each night to be with Kayan. Over time, exhaustion causes illness, curtailing Lovéren’s nightly travels. When she regains her strength and is able to return to Lumaria, Kayan is gone, having returned to land as a human." ***In my video, I also imagined Lovéren daydreaming about transforming herself into a human to reunite with Kayan. https://mainlypiano.com/reviews/david-arkenstone-and-charlee-brooks-loveren-review-by-kathy-parsons Lyrics (English, followed by Spanish translation): The seasons change And age our temporary souls Chasing fate Along its winding road Flames burn bright and pass into smoke But our love Will dance among the stars Down the streets of gold I am bound to you By more than what divides us Slip away, slip away sweet lover Into an endless stream Slip away, slip away sweet lover And you can rescue me Close your eyes And drift into a shining memory I'll see you again where the sky touches the sea And with your love You've painted vivid colors on my heart Your light will always illuminate my dark I am bound to you By more than what divides us Slip away, slip away sweet lover Into an endless stream Slip away, slip away sweet lover And you can rescue me Close your eyes And drift into a shining memory I'll see you again where the sky touches the sea The seasons change And age our temporary souls Chasing fate Along its winding road Traducción en español: Las estaciones cambian Y envejece nuestras almas temporales Persiguiendo el destino A lo largo de su sinuoso camino Las llamas se queman y pasan al humo Pero nuestro amor Bailará entre las estrellas Por las calles de oro Yo estoy atado a ti Por más de lo que nos divide Escabullete, escapate dulce amante En una corriente sin fin Escabullete, escapate dulce amante y puedes rescatarme Cierra tus ojos Y derivate en un brillante recuerdo Te veré de nuevo donde el cielo toca el mar Y con tu amor Has pintado colores vivos en mi corazón Tu luz siempre iluminará mi oscuridad Yo estoy atado a ti Por más de lo que nos divide Escabullete, escapate dulce amante En una corriente sin fin Escabullete, escapate dulce amante y puedes rescatarme Cierra tus ojos Y derivate en un brillante recuerdo Te veré de nuevo donde el cielo toca el mar Las estaciones cambian Y envejece nuestras almas temporales Persiguiendo el destino A lo largo de su sinuoso camino
