"Xanadu, Taramul Nemuritorilor"

Aceasta postare, putin atipica, a aparut ca urmare a unui articol citit in Revista Cosmos
si care porneste de la o melodie interpretata de Olivia Newton-John, Xanadu.

Lirica melodiei este urmatoarea:

"A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now, open your eyes and see what we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing and you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu Xanadu,
Xanadu (Now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu
The love that echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The dream that came through a million years
That lived through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million light are dancing and you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu, Xanadu,
Xanadu (Now we are here) in Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu
Now that I'm here, now that you're near, in Xanadu."

~~~(Traducerea in limba romana)
 

 De la un articol si o melodie, am ajuns la  Shangdu - Xanadu - 'Capitala superioara',
 un loc aflat la 350 km de Beijing, capitala de vara a dinastiei Yuan, la un poem,
 Kubla Khan (sau o Viziune intr-un vis), in care tot despre acest taram se vorbeste,
 intr-o exprimare ciudata:
  ..."Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
       Through caverns measureless to man
        Down to a sunless sea..."
  ... "Unde curgea raul sacru, Alph
        prin caverne vaste pentru om,
        pana la o mare fara soare..."

In articol, se spune ca  Xanadu mai era denumit 'Shangri-La'. Asa ca am continuat
cautarile si am ajuns la un site, 'thesaurus.plus', unde cele doua denumiri sunt legate
semantic si au ca sinonime raiul, paradisul, taramul viselor.

Acum ma intreb daca melodia nu cumva incifreaza ideea despre un loc special,
la care am putea avea acces, posibil in anumite conditii de crestere spirituala.

In romanul Lost Horizon al lui James Hilton ajungem tot la Shangri-La, o zona
speciala, inventata de autor pe baza unor articole despre calatorii in Tibet.
 
Cam atat. As fi pus doar melodia, ca mi-a placut, insa am mai lasat cateva linkuri,
daca tot le-am gasit...😊
