(musica: V. Nocenzi / testo: F. Di Giacomo, V. Nocenzi)
(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) I extinguished the ultimate fire To give respite to my eyes I'm imprisoned in the bowels of an ox And here indeed I can no longer lift my arms I listened to the myths of heroes and bawdy poets I dug within tombs of love and of the saints But the furious cry of the earth Beats my ears again And still I'm forced to hear Now I'm here with you, my friends, my friends forever You are more than a brother, you're drunk from my glass You hold my arm while I speak You look at me in silence But it's from you that I ask help My hands, that are so tired All my weariness lain over my shoulders All that's left to me is your help The air feels the dawn, trembling as it waits My throat trembles, long waiting dawn Outside the day is born And we, at length die. |

(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) I lay my desire for the moon Over your shoulders And I will be the one to give Honey for your lips But do not let the wind Lay waste your brow Maybe you can find your rest Over my fields of roses And I will gather all your fears And take them far away And I will be the amphora In which you my place Your saddest tears But more, I... |

(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) I direct the hunt Wherever I set free the hares They well know where to go And the people Move on their way all together It does not matter How many will fall down and die Everyone must serve I will say to Those who whould like to look backwards We can't stop now By now too many are dead I have even used my father With his very ancient hands Thus I trampled on all my regrets And realized the strenght of my convictions Like a trenzied albatross You only seek your flying space But I've torn up my wings and feathers To breathe the earth will all the others I cannot accept all of your problems They are but small thoughts And yours alone |

(musica: G. Nocenzi / testo: F. Di Giacomo, V. Nocenzi)
(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) When the tempest ended For a while I wandered Through the corals I felt the sea with its weight on my skin And I despaired of jumping again in the sun But the desire for immensity Shook my spine once again And I was able to rise from the abyss Do not shun the waves Though they bring the scent of the harpoon If it should strike it will not stop your leap It penetrates, but you'll discover your strenght And the desire for immensity Will stir you once again So let the salt from the sea Cleanse your heart |

(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) In the court of the great Khan and beyond You can hear the legends of my fame In my peacock driven carriage I have come to you Tell me everything about your troubles Nothing is mysterious to me, and I can heal you Maybe I will cost you dearly: But does it really matter It's only money I'm here for you. If you need help for your troubled soul You have found the very one you need in me My dear friend I don't ask much not really I'm only here for money, after all It's only money |

(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) Do not reveal too much Keep up all the forms They're the signs of respect Do not show yourself When you're clown or wounded Or you'll be beaten to death Try to hide your thoughts in the evenings flight You'll be alone With nobody too see Alone in the night Release all your breath When there's none there to hear |

(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) Sounds of men sighing are carned by the night Their ingenuous desires or perverse ambitions On her wings She can carry it all: Dreams of biting an apple or Desire for a victory at any cost The night resounds with desperate cries You'll distinguish them all one after the other Just listen well inside the silence You'll hear them struggling with each other |

(musica: V. Nocenzi / testo: F. Di Giacomo, V. Nocenzi)
(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi) I transverse myself On the thread of the world Tense in space Until I reach myself On the steps of your refusal I am climbing towards my door This time the harp of the night Plays it song of fears in vain Once for all I have risen over my body Higher than my heart Tonight I have asked of the earth That she model me in the shape of her skin With the old life, and with the new. New not in kind, out new in dimension Not in kind, out in dimension. |
