Lyrics

La grande stella stava attenta in cielo
Guardava gli uomini del mondo intero
E sulla rotta non mandava luce
Era lì ferma nell’immensa pace
E tutto stava lì da un tempo eterno senza inferno
A noi dispersi disegnava un porto ed era notte sopra un mare perso
Navigavamo oltre Gibilterra, cercando un angolo su questa Terra
Una speranza forse solo un sogno, un bisogno
Quando l’ancora la corsa fermerà
Una nuova conoscenza sboccerà
Il capitano stava ritto a prora e aveva un tuono chiuso nella gola
Il desiderio di poter urlare, gridare: «Terra!» è finito il mare
Per fare a nuoto l’ultima barriera da varcare
Ma nella stiva c’era tanto posto
Ed imbottirla infine ad ogni costo
Non vedevamo il sangue sul cammino
Ma volevamo uccidere il destino con l’illusione di poter barare per contare
Quando l’ancora la corsa fermerà
Una nuova conoscenza sboccerà
E giunse Terra come un grande dono
E giunse gente priva del perdono
Facemmo loro croci di speranza
Ma regalammo un lutto in ogni stanza
Lasciammo chiese in cambio di un tesoro tutto d’oro
Tornammo a bordo sulla vecchia traccia
Sedemmo stanchi intorno al capitano
E sulla tolda stava il cappellano
Le gole gonfie fino a farci male nel cantare
Quando l’ancora la corsa fermerà
Una nuova conoscenza sboccerà

Lyrics translation

The big star was watching out in the sky
He looked at the men of the whole world
And on the way there was no light
He stood there in the immense peace
And everything was there from an eternal time without hell
He drew a harbor for us, and it was night over a Lost Sea.
We sailed past Gibraltar, looking for a corner on this land
A hope maybe just a dream, a need
When the anchor the race will stop
A new knowledge will blossom
The captain stood on the bow and had a Thunder stuck in his throat
The desire to be able to scream, shout: "Earth!"the sea is gone
To make swimming the last barrier to cross
But there was so much room in the hold
And finally pack it at any cost
We didn't see the blood on the way
But we wanted to kill fate with the illusion that we could cheat to count
When the anchor the race will stop
A new knowledge will blossom
And the Earth came as a great gift
And people came without forgiveness
We made them crosses of hope
But we gave a mourning in every room
We left churches in exchange for a treasure of gold
We got back on board on the old track.
We sat tired around the captain
And on the awning stood the chaplain
The puffy throats until it hurts us to sing
When the anchor the race will stop
A new knowledge will blossom
