lyrics
BAHOONI CAME TO GRIFTON
(Slovak translation below - Slovenský preklad dole)
Lost in the wind
that blows beyond our minds
Bahooni came to Grifton
to see the black-painted sun
to see the clowns
and the emeralds on the verge of the town
Bahooni came to Grifton
through tales veiled by the light
an ethereal haze
and stepped on the stones of this place
Lost in the wind
that blows beyond our minds
* Ilúzia rázcestí sa pretaví v posmech
z kostry zvanej prítomnosť.
Z jej jadra žiaria lúče
všetkých dní.
EN /A cross-road illusion melts into a mockery
of a skeleton called the presence.
Out from its core
rays of all days eradiate./
When Bahooni came to Grifton
at first had whispered to dust
from the lines of the Earth
then burned down the place of his birth
When Bahooni came to Grifton
he turned the 44th page
and as the Rose on the Moon
silence was coming of age
Pure silence was coming of age
** Kto to rotuje v kruhu vatier
a ako svetlo smaragdu preniká
sieňou mentalít miznúcich vesmírov?
EN /Who's that rotating in a circle of bonfires
and as a light of an emerald penetrates
the hall of mentalities of disappearing universes./

Slovenský preklad (Slovak translation):
BAHOONI PRIŠIEL DO GRIFTONU
Stratený vo vetre,
ktorý fúka poza našimi mysľami
Bahooni prišiel do Griftonu
pozrieť načierno natreté Slnko
pozrieť klaunov
a smaragdy na kraji mesta
Bahooni prišiel do Griftonu
cez príbehy zahalené svetlom
éterickou hmlou
a vkročil na kamene tohto miesta
Stratený vo vetre,
ktorý fúka poza našimi mysľami
* Ilúzia rázcestí sa pretaví v posmech
z kostry zvanej prítomnosť.
Z jej jadra žiaria lúče
všetkých dní.
Keď Bahooni prišiel do Griftonu
najprv pošepkal prachu
z chodníkov zemegule
potom vypálil miesto svojho narodenia
Keď Bahooni prišiel do Griftonu
obrátil 44. stranu
a ako Ruža na Mesiaci,
ticho sa stávalo dospelým
Absolútne ticho dosahovalo dospelosť
** Kto to rotuje v kruhu vatier
a ako svetlo smaragdu preniká
sieňou mentalít miznúcich vesmírov?
