The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El Animal" by Franco Battiato.

Lyrics

Il vento gonfiava le mie vesti
di veramente stabile erano le mie scarpe nere
alle caviglie ortopediche.
Un tempo passavo ore in palestra
continuai a inseguirla per inerzia.
La vidi stagliarsi tra alberi e cielo
e dopo un piccolo volo
camminare monca e rapida
avrete anche voi visto
camminare le acquile.

Lyrics translation

The wind swelled my clothes
of really stable were my black shoes
orthopedic ankles.
I used to spend hours in the gym
I kept chasing her for inertia.
I saw her stand between trees and Sky
and after a small flight
walking stocky and fast
you must have seen it too.
walking the Aquiles.
