EL MEU VIATGE: LYRICS (ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS)
MY
JOURNEY lyrics:
Antoni Arca THE FAREWELL Tonight neither Heaven nor Earth understands my thoughts: images bearing sorrow, images that pound at the heart. Swells that dash in the wind drain me of my sense of life. My God, heed the prayer; receive his white sail. Farewell, mariner of Alghero, farewell, seafarer of the night. Farewell, deceitful hope - girls, weep here with me. Sea gulls, bear the cross for me, today my heart has stopped. Oh, I would die…! lyrics:
Franca Masu LO CORRAL DE VIDRETHE
GLASS COURTYARD Like so,
hands tied, lyrics:
Antonello Colledanchise . JANUARY WIND Wind, if you caress me one January day, when the soul darts over the sea looking for life, for a journey without end… Wind, melancholy, light, dance on my body, and dance, dance, you'll find distant, deep waves. Love, if you meet me one January day, over the water the stars will shine… Love, I love you like the wind in January, hug me with your all. lyrics:
Franca Masu THE BREATH What will you do, what will you think, if tonight you realize that I've left without a sigh, without a lament, without ever more bidding you goodbye. It's not necessary to abandon bed and sheets, rather just your eyes that will never again be the same ones above mine. And in days to come I'll be like a leaf lost on a boundless sea, lost inside myself, kissed ever so sweetly by the sea. If, in my veins, there should still be melancholy that stirs memories, help me drive it off, maybe it'll leave… And already I can feel your breath moving from my eyes to my lips, saying to me: embrace me, things will never be the same. lyrics:
Franca Masu SABER QUE HI ETSKNOWING YOU'RE AROUNDKnowing you're around, like the sea in my eyes, even if I can't see you, knowing that there, where my fingers end, your fingers are born for me: in your body I am transformed into an object of love, your belly contains the waves of dreams. Knowing you're around, knowing it always, and never having enough, and not aspiring after anything else. Knowing you're around, and that with you I can feel the power of oblivion without despairing, I can greet with joy the waking day. Knowing you're around, that I find myself again within you, that in your breast of satin and in your vivid eyes my days are written, one by one. lyrics:
Carles Duarte NO RESNOTHINGNeither recollection nor trace do I wish there should remain tomorrow of this incident which isn't worth anything anymore. It all began one summer morning - by the sea they built the nest, there, as in a dream - that year neither autumn nor winter arrived. With spring all became clear, their very destiny brought him the sea, it was a summer morning and he left: on a great vessel he lost his way. For years the wind kept blustering over the sea - they never rested, not even for a moment… when one winter night in the port of Maó, he wanted to take flight in a song. That winter's night, he wanted to go back beside that sea where everything seemed eternal: the girl in the dream lives on, secluded in those recesses where summer never ends. lyrics:
Antoni Arca EL MÓNTHE WORLDThe world is weary tonight. It breathes with the tide, like an enormous sheet billowing in the wind, like a taut skin, like a shadow. I look for you in the glances that open onto my eyes, in the hands that welcome me, in the odd words I find on the map of the air, on the lips of time. Evening is a mirror wherein I contemplate you. I sit on the sand to feel how the evening slips away, how dreams drown. It's night that embraces me. It's the moon that silently gives back my heartbeat. The world doesn't want to sleep. lyrics:
Carles Duarte AMARGANTANGOBITTERTANGOHelp me search for the sea's calm and life's perfume. Listen to the mistral's words and tell me where time has flown: do tell me, I'm trying to find my days… and the head spins like a top in front of the sun which abandons the evening. I want to be reborn and, to you, I want to raise on high my song, all the way to Heaven's door, where I can shout out loud that if you still love me, oh moon, don't leave me, I'm sister to you through the night and through the pain. We have souls filled with nests: yours of larks, mine of sadness. lyrics:
Franca Masu ÉS JA ARRIBAT L'HIVERNWINTER'S ALREADY COMEI no longer know whether it's living or dreaming, this life - the more I look at Alghero, the more it seems empty to me. I climb to the top of a ladder to be nearer to the sky, but I feel in my soul that winter has already come. Perhaps an angel came in a dream to leave me the sun on the sea, on my blood. So it is that I'm on my way, on my own, seeking a true friendship that'll reassure me that life is not just made of clay! When one dies and when one is born, one never notices… but a cloud… Maybe a day has already come and another will go, leaving behind a few memories that won't want to abandon me. Yes, winter has arrived for sure, at home and on the street, and with one's eyes on the clouds vision becomes misty. lyrics:
Antonello Colledanchise MIRANT ESTRELLESSTAR-GAZINGLands, coastlands, of the Mediterranean and of seas yet vaster. Desert of heaven on earth, evening wind and black water. Dawn or light of the night… if you love me, be still, my waves. Out beyond Alghero's sea, a bitter wind from inland caresses my hair. Further out, with the westerly wind, I'll conquer the stars beyond Alghero. When I get back, it'll be to home and open arms. lyrics:
Antoni Arca EL MEU VIATGE II
MY
JOURNEY THE WAVES OF THE SEA The waves of the sea bathe my feet, they bathe my feet and hands, the waves of the sea. The waves of the sea bathe my eyes, they bathe my eyes and blood, the waves of the sea. lyrics: Antonello Colldanchise © 2000 SAINT ROCK ® top |
