I don’t even know

 

LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t even know, if I’ll have the time 
to learn from my soul, to understand my mind 
I don’t even know, if I’ll have the life 
enough to beget, joy out from the cries 
And I beg my God to be the rain on barren lands 
but I fool among all the false malleable hands 
 
I see around me, people have become 
someone different than who were before 
between the hammer and the anvil I 
ask to myself what I have to try 
if I have to accept the changes as a normal thing 
or if I've to ebb the invite to become someone else 
 
I'd be the fortress my fortress lifeline 
As this old house still standing in time 
My ancient tribes live here they wash away my fear 
 
This is a fortress my fortress to rise 
not only the walls but also inside 
I cannot rumbling I'm almost bursting 
 
I forgot my name, along reckless days 
during which I found many tears and blames 
I have been glorious and then full of shame 
fast as a rocket and then slow as snails 
I believed I had once written over my white bones 
all the sacred meanings and the true sense of my hopes 
 
I'd be the fortress my fortress lifeline 
As this old house still standing in time 
My ancient tribes live here they wash away my fear 
 
This is a fortress my fortress to rise 
not only the walls but also inside 
I cannot rumbling I'm almost bursting

Saighdiúirí *

 

Soldati bianchi di bellezza 
gl'alberi fioriti nella valle 
in mezzo al bosco ancora 
messo a nudo dall'inverno: 
sorreggono lo scudo argenteo 
di un cielo metafisico 
e le lunghe spade rossastre 
dei rovi aggrovigliati. 


* “Soldati” in gaelico irlandese

Tomorrow

 

LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA
















Everything goes 
everything goes 
and I’m a candle that tries to go on 

Everything goes 
while I still hope 
and little earthquakes hit my deepest thoughts    

Tomorrow I will be healthy 
tomorrow I will be strong 
tomorrow I will be happy or, may be not 
Tomorrow I will be a man 
tomorrow I will be a boy 
tomorrow I will be someone or, may be none   

Everything goes 
the place I loved 
I have to abandon somewhere else to go 
Everything goes 
people I loved 
are now the strangers I guess I don’t know 

Tomorrow I will be healthy 
tomorrow I will be strong 
tomorrow I will be happy or, may be not 
Tomorrow I will be a man 
tomorrow I will be a boy 
tomorrow I will be someone or, may be none
