Translation
Bilingual
The spirit of the hummingbird
Harbours in the shade
Blinded by the spider's web
That glitters newly made
The stillness of the hummingbird
Betrays her beating wings
She's silent in the darkest hour
But bell-like when she sings
The sweetness of the hummingbird
Is nectar to my lips
The brush-tipped tongue
Her silent smile commands her claws and whips
Come with me, come with me
The race is almost run
ย
Come with me, come with me
The race is almost run
ย
Tenacious is the hummingbird
Among the jewelweed
Her deeply forked and blue-black tail
Is quick to gather speed
My Lucifer of hummingbirds
Steals among the thieves
Bathing in scattered trees
Clutching to wet leaves
The colour of the hummingbird
Is as bright as fresh-spilt blood
She leads me to the water's edge
Reddened by the flood
Come with me, come with me
The race is almost run
The set aside of many years
The soft tail-light of evening nears
My solitary friend appears
To circle 'round the sun
