Hope and fear
Left her colorless face without mirth
Sweet Daphne, the priestess of Old Mother Earth
Saw a stranger coming near
Full of pride
Still mighty Apollo desired
The God of all Arts gently playing his lyre
Needs a nymph to guard his night
Safe and sound
Daphne lived in the mountains, protecting the ground
A wild virgin girl
In a heavenly world
Breaking Apollo's heart
Whatever happens, her goddess will ward...
Chasing his love through the mountains and hills
Slave of a world full of passionate thrills
Dreaming of being embraced by her arms
Could not resist all her magical charms
But meaning no harm
Please don't forsake me in hours of need
Fallen a victim to Apollo's greed
Goddess of Earth, she cried so desperately
If I can't escape won't you please let me be
A wild laurel tree
Sacred tree
Oh to worship, to cherish and always be near thee
Your leaves will serve
To those with the urge
To give beauty to words...
The lyrics DAPHNE (LAUREL TREE) of KAYAK is also present in the album Phantom of the night (1979)
Kayak è un gruppo musicale progressive rock olandese formatosi nel 1972 da Ton Scherpenzeel e Pim Koopman. Nel 1973 uscì il loro album di debutto "See See The Sun", che includeva 3 singoli di successo. Contro la loro volontà, furono immediatamente dichiarati «la nuova superband olandese» dalla stampa. La loro popolarità principale si concentrò nei Paesi Bassi, con il loro singolo più famoso (Ruthless Queen) che raggiunse il sesto posto nella classifica olandese a marzo 1979. Il gruppo si sciolse nel 1982 dopo aver pubblicato nove album. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: "See See The Sun", "Ruthless Queen", "Merlin".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
