On The Wind
the original english version featuring Deryn Cullen (cello) and Ann Van Canegem (vocals)
Left alone, the feeling of loss is almost unbearable and you ask the fire if the two of you will ever meet again...
This song acts as the “reference” and basic version on which the adaptations are based.
On the wind
You’ve flown away
When you finally met the flames
The fire, it burned so deep
Took my heart, scorched my soul
Now you’re gone
Far beyond our reach
While your last farewells
Still echo in my dreams
I never knew that morning light
Could be so cold, yet shine so bright
I could run
I could hide
But whatever I do
You would be on my mind
Think of all the good times we had
Your sweet comfort when I was sad
On the wind
Your final flight
From the fire
Into the light
Fire, will you be my friend?
Will we meet again
In the end?
Fire, you burn so deep
Took my heart
Left me alone, in tears…
