When was a child he saved his mother
Showing his courage to the others
But he was jealous of his little rival
Zeus’ son was a devil to him
Observing his training in the shadows
He didn’t hold back and came out of the darkness
He was invited to pratice with rival
But he said: “This is an insult!”
Train and get to my feet
He said to provoke him
And with an arrow in the chest
He was no longer the best
As he saw her he fell madly in love
And he began a mad chase
When the arrow found his chest
He realized he was no longer himself
Running away from her stalker
The young nymph made a cruel request
No longer wanted all that beauty of her
To live in peace and be able to rest
She was never yours
And never will be
He will never kiss her
She was free
“How to live without my nymph?”
And the gods heard her prayers
The young girl was turning
Into a beautiful green tree,
Into a Laurel, she was finally free
She never said
She never wanted to stay
The world went gray
And there was her place
On the land
With the roots
Strung on the earth
