334 Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth

334.

Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth



Oh precious Hyacinth, in my eyes a jewel

In front of your radiance, my knees fell

You're like a glistening pearl in a virgin shell

I am enamored by your enthralling spell



Listen everyone to Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth!



Oh King of Sparta, you bear the tastiest fruit

On the land he is the handsomest youth

This is for everyone a crystal clear truth

That's why in my heart the arrows of Eros shoot



Listen everyone to Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth!



Oh precious Hyacinth, you have equaled the glamour of a god

Your face is fairer than any mortal lad

Your muscles are firmer than any man had

Because of such beauty, you make me feel glad



Listen everyone to Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth!



Oh King of Olympus, let me have this seductive mortal

For him my godly being turned carnal

The appeal of his flesh is oddly unusual

I want him to be mine for time eternal



Listen everyone to Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth!



Oh precious Hyacinth, under my wings you'll never fall

Come to the West Wind's most desperate call

To you I'll reserve the prettiest room in my hall

The most romantic & blissful haven for all



Listen everyone to Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth!





Oh deities & humans, grant me this costly man

Boreas, Notus, Eurus, bring me this heavenly Spartan

Let our powerful Anemoi bequeath him from his clan

Turn him over to the Western Wind, his greatest fan!



Listen everyone to Zephyrus' Serenade for Hyacinth!
