about

Banana Lazuli is a Canadian-Peruvian traveler and composer from Montreal, now residing in North Carolina, USA. She likes to create lush sound-scapes and poetic song narratives. She is a member of the freak-folk duo Feat of Spirits. She has a new album that will be released on Visionquest Music in 2012.

This song is about cosmic coincidences and human possibilities. The dark moon is a like a mirror for the soul, and it provides infinite reflection.

lyrics

El cielo lleno de planetas y de estrellas
La tierra llena de semillas y de historias
Luna oscura...

Humanos llenos de sonidos de los pueblos
Humanos tienen sus lenguas
Arquitectura del alma
Luna oscura...

Ala de ave, frases de la tierra
cola de gato, frases de la tierra
grito de sapo, frases de la tierra
color de piedra, frases de la tierra
Luna oscura...

Translation into English:
The sky, filled with planets and stars
The earth, filled with seeds and stories
Dark moon...

Humans filled with the sounds of the tribes
Humans have their languages
architecture of the soul
Dark moon...

A bird's wing, a saying of the Earth
the cat's tail, a saying of the Earth
cry of the frog, a saying of the Earth
color of stone, a saying of the Earth
Dark moon...
