Bormana

 

LISTEN TO / ASCOLTA

Are you the spirit of the fog? 

I hear your steps as the rain falls 

I see your traces on the road 

first after me and than before 

I know your name is an old word 

that I can find back in my soul 

you are a demon not a god 

for those who don’t believe at all 

I feel you’re a female ghost 

in our land since the ancient world 

you bring away and back the fog 

during the time of only a song 

“Bormana”* was the former blow 

they used in early times to call 

the goddess of water and fog 

maybe it’s “Borda” here along

* Bordana era la dea celtica dell'acqua, probabilmente ispiratrice di entità sovrannaturali successive come Borda, una creatura tipica dell'Emilia Romagna.
