Lyrics
Li abbiamo visti con gli occhi line e un silenzio nel cuore arrivare
li abbiamo visti dal nulla, apparire di notte
dal nulla del mare
li abbiamo visti cadere in silenzio
in un volo irreale
erano tanti e scendevano lenti come neve sul mare
ed era pio ggia battente, era fuoco, era grandine e sale
era estate, era inverno; era un attimo eterno
eran figli all’altare
li abbiamo visti che pena cadere come gigli sul mare
li abbiamo visti spezzati cadere come agnelli all’altare.
Lyrics translation
We saw them with line eyes and a silence in the heart arrive
we saw them out of nowhere, appear at night
out of nowhere of the sea
we saw them fall silent
in an unreal flight
there were many of them and they came down slow as snow on the sea
and it was pious GGIA beating, it was fire, it was hail and salt
it was summer, it was winter; it was an everlasting moment
they were sons at the altar
we saw them what a pity to fall like lilies on the sea
we saw them broken down like lambs at the altar.
