Lyrics
✦ INANNA — sacred ritual-opera
(libretto – French / Sumerian / English, 4-part structure)
Part I – Baroque soprano intro – celestial
Déesse d’or et d’orage,
Reine des cendres stellaires,
Écoute nos soupirs perdus —
Car ton nom manque à nos chairs.
Nous avons bâti des murs de silence
Et gravé ta lumière sur la pierre.
Inanna… entends…
Le vide attend ta chair.
Tes larmes font germer les dunes,
Ta colère retourne les vents.
Fille de la lune noire,
Viens déchirer nos serments.
Part II – Tribal trance section – Sumerian + English
Nin me šár-ra!
Udug-gi-na, Inanna kù-gal!
Ama-gi! Ama-gi!
We offer salt and honey.
We offer breath and stone.
We break the mirror.
We light the wound.
Her name is written in ash.
Her name walks without sound.
Inanna of blood and thunder —
Open the gate.
Ama-ushumgal-anna,
Lugal-e, za-e gal!
Rise from the bones.
Return through the dust.
Return through us.
Part III – Baroque soprano solo – radiant aria
Ton souffle est un fleuve caché,
Ta voix, un vitrail tremblant.
Tu danses dans les volcans muets,
Et dors au fond du sang.
Ô Vierge aux mille ombres,
Offre-nous ta nuit.
Prends nos voix en offrande,
Et consume nos oublis.
Couronnée d’absence,
Tu es l’éclair dans la prière.
Notre monde te saigne encore —
Et t’appelle par la lumière.
Part IV – Metal crescendo + chant + Sumerian choir
(Male chant – English)
Rise, Inanna.
Rise through the circuits.
Rise through the code.
Your name is a wound.
Your breath is fire.
We burn to remember.
(Choral layering – Sumerian)
Inanna…
E₂-gal ki-gal-la…
Nin-me šár-ra…
Zu-ma… zu-ma… zu-ma…
(Final baroque declaration – French)
Tu es la porte.
Tu es la fin et la semence.
Tu es la voix du vide
Qui enfante l’existence.
(All voices – ecstatic crescendo)
Inanna,
Inanna,
Inanna…
Return.
