The Dislocation of Amber (1975) Movie Script
1
To the memory of the beloved, we drank wine
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
To the memory of the beloved, we drank
On it we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
The moon is its cup, and it's a sun orbited
by a crescent,
and when it's mixed it looks like a star!
and if one day it crossed someone's mind
they're filled with joy
and they're rid of their burden
To the memory of the beloved, we drank wine
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
and if not for its scent,
I wouldn't have found my way to its tavern
and if not for its shining light,
it's not possible to imagine it
To the memory of the beloved, we drank
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
and if it watered a dead man's grave,
his soul would have returned,
and his body would have been animated
and if in the shade of its vineyard
they placed
near it a sick man,
his illness would have departed
and if near its tavern they placed
a crippled man, he'd have walked
and of the memory of its taste,
the mute speak
and if in the east its fragrance wafts
someone with the flu in the west
would be able to smell again
You are my obligatory
and my voluntary prayers
You are what I talk about
and what occupies me
You are the direction of my prayers
when I stand to pray
Allah, Allah
You are my obligatory
and my voluntary prayers
You are what I talk about
and what occupies me
You are the direction of my prayers
when I stand to pray
Allah, Allah
To the memory of the beloved, we drank wine
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
and if stains its holder's hand
he'd never be in the dark,
for in his hand he holds starlight
and if, in secret, a blind man's eyes
are treated with it, he would
regain his eyesight, and the
ringing of its glass makes the deaf hear
and if a caravan passes
through its vineyard
and someone there is bitten by a snake,
the venom would be rendered harmless
To the memory of the beloved, we drank wine
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
and if a game draws the letters of its name
on the forehead of the possessed,
the drawing would exorcise him
it refines the manners of its drinkers
it refines the manners of its drinkers
and it guides the weak-willed
to become strong-willed
Its story predates all living beings
before there were drawings and shapes
Its story predates all living beings
before there were drawings and shapes
and, with it, everything came to be,
and then due to an unknown wisdom
it was obfuscated from
whomever does not understand
and my soul was immersed in it,
in a united mixture
so no sin would ever penetrate it
To the memory of the beloved, we drank wine
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
So wine without a vineyard,
and Adam is my father
and a vineyard without wine,
and its mother is my mother
and the separation was dropped,
and everything became one
and our souls are wine,
and our ghosts are vineyards
To the memory of the beloved, we drank wine
On it, we be came intoxicated,
before the vineyard was even created
