I have to say this is my favourite song on LODVG's first cd. The message has to do with dreaming, which of course is one of my favourite pastimes. Here goes with the lyrics (please pardon minor inaccuracies):
I have always dreamed with the power to fly,
to spread(1) my arms and not to land,
getting to know other places
and truths further on.
And to sit on a cloud to rest,
to drink of this freedom
and let it carry me,
la la ra la.
I have always dreamed with the power to sleep
on a bed of algae and coral,
to enjoy that silence
that always reigns there.
And to travel on top of a dolphin,
to cross seas without stopping,
and never to arrive at the end,
la la ra la.
As that genius said,
this life is a dream, a dream,
as that genius said,
this life is a dream, and dream I will.
I have always dreamed with the power to create
a time machine and discover
the far-away future,
where I'm not going to be.
And to be able to return to San Sebastián(2),
in the 26th century
in a space ship,
la la ra la.
I have dreamed so that you may be able to dream,
so that you may draw in your mind a place
where there are neither mysteries
nor secrets nor evil.
And to find one day upon waking up,
that now(3) nothing goes(4) the same,
that everything may return to begin again,
la la ra la.
As that genius said,
this life is a dream, a dream,
as that genius said,
this life is a dream, and dream I will...
(1) also "unfurl"
(2) Saint Sebastian; the name of the Spanish city where the band started.
(3) also "already"
(4) also "follows" or "continues"
