Lyrics

Fu il primo gemito del primogenito
Nato col primo freddo, il primo getto di freddo gelido
Il giovane Mariani apriva gli occhi
Un raggio caldo creò un passaggio ampio tra due notti;
Fra due sfondi enormi vide un lampo e un’esplosione
Poi un mondo con più occhi che le piume di pavone, man
Prese aria e luce e pensò «tocca a me
Ayo, me, mega, me, ora tocca a me»
Pensò «tocca a me» e fu di nuovo un inizio
E con lo sguardo raccontò tutto quello che vide e ha visto
Questa storia non si elabora, no, né rielabora
No, no, se vuoi tu chiamala favola;
Per raccontarla bene basta un battito e un’arpa, man
Un arco ed un basso, man, un battito e un basso, man
Lui vide il vuoto farsi mondo, il mondo farsi fuoco
E dopo il cosmo prese corpo da uno spazio vuoto
Vide il fuoco e i suoi grandi bracci, il suolo rifarsi i tratti
I flutti seppelliti dalle sfingi degli alti ghiacci
Chiusi i passaggi che tornavano a ieri
Dove il buio con le mani riuscì a chiudere i cieli
E poi roccia sopra roccia venne occluso ogni buco
Piovve notte fra le torri e le necropoli di tufo
Sfida il tempo, lo spazio t’attende
Qua il cosmo non è che bisogno che vive nell’uomo:
Non c'è cielo e suolo, non c'è terra e fuoco
E il tempo è corrente e torna per sempre a me
Vide mari immani, non vide draghi o maghi
Ma vide i vari umani darsi i mali in varie fasi
Poi vide coi suoi occhi torri e blocchi di marmo
Elevarsi sopra i regni dell’argilla e del fango
E a me che rimase, e a me che rimane?
Ma a me qui rimase la gioia ed il sale
E a te che rimase, da rimare che rimane?
Mani in mano, mani in mano nelle mani di un padre
Pensò «tocca a me», pensò, pensò «tocca a me»
Ma non c’era fatica nei suoi occhi blu e scuri
Perché quello che vide lui lo vide ad occhi chiusi
Lui vide falsi re, i re farsi dei
Poi tanti altri farsi e farsi grandi
Vide infanti maschi, morti i fanti
Patti infranti, passi falsi
Panta Rei, sentì il cosmo nel cuore
Cercò ingegno e calore per capirne il colore
E il secondo lo ottenne dalle gocce del sole
Mentre il primo dal pensiero sorto in Asia Minore
Se senti ancora la voce
Fu allora, una luce si spense e ne apparve una nuova
Poi con forza e nuova foia fuori dalla feritoia
Qui la gioia del suo vecchio piantò un seme di Sequoia
Sfida il tempo, lo spazio t’attende
Rallenta e comprende
La Terra qua attende la giovane mente venuta al presente
Tra i giorni trascorsi dopo fine settembre
«Ora tocca a me», pensò, pensò, pensò «tocca a me»
Ma non c’era fatica nei suoi occhi blu e scuri
Perché quello che vide lui lo vide ad occhi chiusi

Lyrics translation

It was the first groan of the firstborn
Born with the first cold, the first jet of cold frost
Young Mariani opened his eyes
A warm ray created a wide passage between two nights;
Between two huge backgrounds he saw a flash and an explosion
Then a world with more eyes than peacock feathers, man
He took air and light and thought "it's up to me
Ayo, me, mega, me, now it's up to me»
He thought "it's up to me" and it was a start again
And with his gaze he told all that he saw and saw
This story is not processed, no, nor re-processed
No, no, if you want to call it a fairy tale.;
To tell it well enough a beat and a harp, man
A bow and a bass, man, a beat and a bass, man
He saw the void become world, the world become fire
And after the Cosmos took body from an empty space
He saw the fire and its great arms, the ground redone its lines
The waves buried by the sphinxes of the high ice
Closed the passages that went back to yesterday
Where darkness with his hands managed to close the skies
And then rock upon rock was occluded every hole
It rained at night between the towers and the necropolis of tufa
Challenge time, space awaits you
Here the cosmos is nothing but need that lives in man:
There is no heaven and Earth, there is no earth and fire
And time is running and comes back to me forever
He saw vast seas, he saw no dragons or magicians
But he saw the various humans give themselves the evils at various stages
Then he saw with his eyes towers and blocks of marble
Rise above the kingdoms of clay and mud
And what's left for me, and what's left for me?
But to me here remained joy and salt
And to you who remained, to rhyme what remains?
Hands in hand, hands in hand in the hands of a father
He thought, " it's up to me," he thought, he thought, "it's up to me."»
But there was no fatigue in his blue and dark eyes
For what he saw he saw with his eyes closed
He saw false Kings, Kings make themselves of
Then so many others make themselves big
He saw male infants, dead the infantrymen
Broken pacts, missteps
Panta Rei, felt the cosmos in her heart
He sought wit and warmth to understand its color
And the second he got from the drops of the sun
While the first from thought arose in Asia Minor
If you still hear the voice
It was then, a light went out and a new one appeared
Then with strength and new foia out of the slit
Here the joy of his old man planted a Sequoia seed
Challenge time, space awaits you
Slows down and includes
The Earth here awaits the young mind come to the present
Between the days after the end of September
"Now it's up to me," he thought, he thought, he thought "it's up to me»
But there was no fatigue in his blue and dark eyes
For what he saw he saw with his eyes closed
