Reply #4: That song needs a transliteration (poetic rendition... [View All]

...a roughly translated poem). I shall try my hand, since writing poetry was my first love...

-----

Change changes everything


Changes the surface
Changes also the depths
Changes the mindset
Changes everything in this world.


The climate changes over the years
The shepherd changes his flock
And just as everything changes
My change is not strange


Change is brilliant, change is fine
It shines from hand to hand
Changing the birds in their nest
Changing the feel of a lover


Changes the path of the hikers
Sometimes causing damage
But just as everything changes
My change is not strange


Change everything changes
Change everything changes
Change everything changes
Change everything changes


Changes the sun as it careens
across the sky
Into abiding night
Changes the plants to cloth of green in spring


Changes the coats of the beasts
Changes your hair as you age
And just as everything changes
My change is not strange


But my love doesn't change
No less love do I find
In the memories and pain
Of my pueblo, my people


Whatever changed yesterday
We will find changed again tomorrow
Like the changes in me
In this faraway land


Change everything changes
Change everything changes
Change everything changes
Change everything changes

But my love doesn't change.
