Zephyrus
Zephyrus' Bittersweet Embrace: Love Lost in the Whispering Winds
Lyrics
You had left me long ago
You departed from me a long time ago
Body here, heart and mind had flown
Your physical presence remains, but your heart and mind have departed
The god of wind I'd grown to know
I have come to know the god of wind (Zephyrus)
Had swept you to a land unknown
Zephyrus, the god of wind, has taken you to an unknown land
Fair blows the wind that brings you near
The wind that brings you close is gentle and favorable
Cruel is the one that left me here
It is cruel that someone has abandoned me here
A breeze so sweet, the nectar kiss
A sweet breeze, a kiss like nectar
The Fates foretold it would come to this
The Fates predicted that it would come to this
Fair blows the wind that brings you near
Repetition emphasizing the contrasting nature of the wind that brings closeness and the cruelty of abandonment
Cruel is the one that left me here
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
-Cruel is the one that left me here
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
-Cruel is the one that left me here
-The wings of gold have raised you high
Wings of gold have elevated you, but there were no goodbyes in our love
An absent love with no goodbyes
Our love is absent, marked by an absence of goodbyes
Fair blows the wind that brings you near
Repetition emphasizing the dual nature of the wind and the cruelty of abandonment
Cruel is the one that left me here
-A fragile love with summer's breath
-The sleep of gods, the gentlest death
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
-Cruel is the one that left me here
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
-Cruel is the one that left me here
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
-Cruel is the one that left me here
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
-Cruel is the one that left me here
-Fair blows the wind that brings you near
Reiteration of the contradictory nature of the wind
Cruel is the one that left me here
Emphasis on the cruelty of being left alone
Oh Zephyrus, I loved you so
Expressing love for Zephyrus, the god of wind
But why, oh why did he need to go?
Questioning why Zephyrus needed to leave despite the love
Fair blows the wind that brings you near
Repetition emphasizing the contradictory nature of the wind
