Dopo la pioggia

Esco dopo la pioggia
come una lumaca
respiro le gocce calde
sotto il nuovo sole
ho smesso di combattere
le ferite grondano vita
non vissuta, dimenticata
come musica di pace
dopo una guerra.

La luna a venere

La pianura copiosa

avvicina la luna a venere

mentre prego le mie ginocchia

di restare piegate sul nulla

in attesa che maggio

inventi un nuovo pasto

su cui immaginare

la fine del caos.

Speak to me stone

I have thought to take my dreams
as I'm living in a film
but the life oh has taught me
that I'm failing I can't win

There are clues along the road
that there is another force
something that can help me
to become again me

Speak to me stone of the ancient rites
speak to me stone of the ancient times
do not let anything behind
do not let anything behind

Speak to me stone of the ancient tribes
how they can pray and push pain outside
do not let anything behind
do not let anything behind

What to do I don't yet know
who exactly I've to call?
in this ritual I ask for
blessing from all directions

I let myself receive so
sacred water on my brow
and the honey in my mouth
the sweet seed before the bound

Speak to me stone of the ancient rites
speak to me stone of the ancient times
do not let anything behind
do not let anything behind

Speak to me stone of the ancient tribes
how they can pray and push pain outside
do not let anything behind
do not let anything behind
