The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Via Lattea" by Franco Battiato.
Lyrics
Ci alzammo che non era ancora l’alba
Pronti per trasbordare
Dentro un satellite artificiale
Che ci condusse in fretta
Alle porte di Sirio
Dove un equipaggio sperimentale
Si preparava
Al lungo viaggio
Noi
Provinciali dell’Orsa Minore
Alla conquista degli spazi interstellari
E vestiti di grigio chiaro
Per non disperdersi
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
Dentro la Via Lattea
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
Dentro la Via Lattea
Un capitano del centro impressioni
Colto da esaurimento
Venne presto mandato in esilio
Mi preparavo
Al lungo viaggio
…In cui ci si perde
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
Dentro la Via Lattea
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
Dentro la Via Lattea
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
Dentro la Via Lattea
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
Dentro la Via Lattea
Lyrics translation
We got up that it was not yet Dawn
Ready to tranship
Inside an artificial satellite
That led us in a hurry
At the gates of Sirius
Where an experimental crew
He was preparing
On the long journey
We
Provincials of the lesser Bear
Conquering interstellar spaces
And clothes of light gray
So as not to disperse
We followed certain routes diagonally
Inside the Milky Way
We followed certain routes diagonally
Inside the Milky Way
A captain of the impressions Center
Caught from exhaustion
He was soon sent into exile
I was getting ready
On the long journey
... Where you get lost
We followed certain routes diagonally
Inside the Milky Way
We followed certain routes diagonally
Inside the Milky Way
We followed certain routes diagonally
Inside the Milky Way
We followed certain routes diagonally
Inside the Milky Way
