Lyrics

Un anno di narcisi e solitudine
specchiandomi
nella mia finitudine,
sporgendomi
su quella viva fissit
che ad ogni respiro moriva un po'
in concentriche
delucidazioni
e fuggevoli illuminazioni.
E in essa tu,
ninfea di bianco fascino,
che aprendoti
sul lago delle vanit
ti apristi a me, perduto in una sola immagine
vibrante ad ogni sospiro.
E bella e fragile.
Ci guardammo e ci ascoltammo:
silenzi e parole a corredo fecondo del testo della seduzione
e il suono segreto delle brame a musicare la scena.
Poi finalmente un d ti presi fra le mani
e le tue foglie si adagiarono sui miei palmi
ma il soffio della vita e il suo schiaffo ti fecero presto volare via
Ed ora, qui,
nessun profumo sa di te.
Non ci sei pi.
Nell’acqua ci che intorno a me si specchia con me riflesso in un’immagine
che si anima di quello che anima me.
Rester qui
un anno, un altro… e quanti pi…
specchiandomi
ovunque dove eri tu.
E intorno a me narcisi e quietudine
e tutto ci che si anima di quello che anima me.

Lyrics translation

A year of daffodils and loneliness
looking at me
in my finitude,
sticking out
on that viva fissit
that with every breath he died a little
in concentric
clarification
and fleeting illuminations.
And in it you,
Nympha of white charm,
that opening you up
on the lake of vanit
you open yourself to me, lost in one image
vibrant with every sigh.
And beautiful and fragile.
We looked at each other and listened to each other:
silences and words together with the text of seduction
and the Secret Sound of craving to music the scene.
Then finally a d took you in the hands
and thy leaves lay upon my palms
but the breath of life and its slap soon made you fly away
And now, here,
no perfume knows about you.
There's no pi.
In the water there that around me is mirrored with me reflected in an image
that animates what animates me.
Stay who
one year, another ... and how many more…
looking at me
wherever you were.
And around me daffodils and stillness
and everything that animates us of what animates me.
