Over the past months and weeks I have returned again and again to this tragic and romantic video. She was a poet of great depth and her work leaves a bittersweet stain I cannot turn away from; precisely that feeling and its personal associations pull me back. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for making me discover this poem and this beautiful music.

Heart moving lyrical depth, stunning imagery, soul wrenching music, utterly Breathless!

Niagara falls down my face as I whether the stone into minerals that mingle with organic matter to compose nutritious soil that will fertilize new vivid color memories that will forever project vibrant rainbows to your cool and misty well.

Thank you!

@driminclaud Thank you very much for comment. I found that it was in Memoirs Of A Geisha (2005)

I never stop to marvel how differently people see this life..

Маринка, не перестаю восхищаться твоим даром так чувствовать слово, музыку, а значит и жизнь.Сколько невысказанной боли, трагизма;печаль и безисходность!
Иногда накатит- не продохнуть!

I probably shouldn't admit this, but, I was just watching a sensuous "Girl Video" teaser, and this music flowed perfectly with the film clip. I don't know why I'm telling you this. P.S. the model was legally over 18 Y.O.

恰似白色的石头沉在井底，
一段记忆藏在我的心中。
我不能也不想为此争斗：
它既是欢愉，也是苦痛。

我想，谁如果切近地注视
我的眼睛，就会立刻把它看清。
它若有所思地把忧伤的我
当成倾听痛苦故事的人。

我知道，众神把一些人
变成了物体，却不消灭他们的意识，
好让奇怪的忧伤生生不息。
于是你化作了我的一段记忆。

As a white stone in the well's cool deepness,
There lays in me one wonderful remembrance.
I am not able and don't want to miss this:
It is my torture and my utter gladness.

I think, that he whose look will be directed
Into my eyes, at once will see it whole.
He will become more thoughtful and dejected
Than someone, hearing a story of a dole.

I knew: the gods turned once, in their madness,
Men into things, not killing humane senses.
You've been turned in to my reminiscences
To make eternal the unearthly sadness.

[LiinaJanna]

Как белый камень в глубине колодца,
Лежит во мне одно воспоминанье.
Я не могу и не хочу бороться:
Оно — веселье и оно — страданье.

Мне кажется, что тот, кто близко взглянет
В мои глаза, его увидит сразу.
Печальней и задумчивее станет
Внимающего скорбному рассказу.

Я ведаю, что боги превращали
Людей в предметы, не убив сознанья,
Чтоб вечно жили дивные печали.
Ты превращен в мое воспоминанье.
