Lyrics

Mauri aveva un mano fatata, votata al disegno da sempre
La sua camera era un mare di fogli con scogli di matite e tempere
Nessuno come lui rendeva bene i fiori delle orchidee aperte
O le foglie delle ninfee che accolgono il volo delle libellule
Maurizio non aveva una donna
E conosceva bene il modo giusto e i percorsi per fuggire da sé:
Una matita ed un’onda
Di forme e contorni che invadevano il foglio eleggendolo Re
Ma per quanto lui fosse un animo forte e puro anche il suo polso cedette quando
venne lei
E i suoi mondi, i suoi sfondi, i suoi sogni, via ai bordi dei fogli quando
venne lei
In Maurizio era viva e profonda un’orma
Lasciata dalla prova di fuga forse verso gli dei
Quest’orma fonda era somma
Degli anni trascorsi fra i suoi fogli e colori a sognare fra sé:
L’infanzia passata chino sui fogli del tavolino
E la mano sua da bambino prodigio, genio creativo
Tracciava dentro un profilo lì un rigo
Color turchino ed un mondo si ergeva vivo
Tra i fogli di un bimbo schivo
Lui che era nato tra le industrie e le sassaie
Sognava di scappare tra i suoni di un temporale
Suo padre una testa calda, sua madre una schiena stanca
Da grande lei lo sognava elegante in una banca
Quando lui disse a casa: «Io voglio vivere d’arte»
Sua madre tacque e pianse, suo padre lo prese da parte
E poi gli disse: raccogli i tuoi fogli e i ricordi, se parti non torni
Se parti ti scordi i tuoi soldi, i tuoi sogni
Quando arrivò a Bologna tutto gli apparve come il cielo in terra
La conobbe che passava sotto i portici dell’Accademia
Lei aveva la pelle bianca e gli occhi azzurri e diafani
La prima volta che gli baciò le braccia lui si perse negli attimi
Ma in fondo era più di una donna sapeva cullarlo per vedere altri mondi e poi
scordarsi di sé
«Questa tua forza è una bomba» pensava l’artista mentre tutto scorreva e lui
viaggiava da Re
Ma per quanto lui fosse un animo forte e chiuso anche il suo polso cedette
quando venne lei
E i suoi mondi, i suoi sfondi, i suoi sogni via ai bordi dei fogli quando venne
lei
Lei lo cercava come se fosse un vero amore
Fra i mercanti dell’estro, nelle Big Bo di Piazza Maggiore
Poi fu lui a cercarla in continuazione
Fra i mercati all’aperto, i bistrot, dalla «rive gauche» l’odore
Quando disse ai suoi fogli: «Sì, ora è lei la mia partner»
Le sue vecchie carte bianche la sua arte
Messa da parte e poi
Lei era così dolce da non poterne fare senza
Lui ne impugnava l’elsa e ne coglieva tutta l’essenza
Poi la vide aggirarsi fra le persone della stazione
Vide gli amici di poche ore morire per il suo amore
Vide gli zombie senza più cuore sputare dentro al flacone
E con una dose di metadone fare due dosi di metadone

Lyrics translation

Mauri had a fairy hand, always devoted to drawing
His room was a sea of sheets with rocks of pencils and tempera
No one like him made the flowers of open orchids well
Or the leaves of water lilies that welcome the flight of dragonflies
Maurizio didn't have a woman
And he knew well the right way and the routes to escape from himself:
A pencil and a wave
Of shapes and contours that invaded the sheet electing him King
But though he was a strong and pure soul, his pulse also gave way when
she came
And his worlds, his backgrounds, his dreams, away at the edges of the sheets when
she came
In Mauritius was alive and deep a footprint
Left by the proof of escape perhaps to the gods
This deep footprint was sum
Of the years spent among its sheets and colors dreaming of each other:
Childhood passed leaning on the sheets of the coffee table
And his hand as a child prodigy, creative genius
He drew in a profile there a staff
Turquoise Color and a world stood alive
Between the sheets of a dodgy child
He who was born among the industries and the stones
He dreamed of escaping through the sounds of a thunderstorm
His father a hot head, his mother a tired back
When she grew up she dreamed of elegant in a bank
When he said at home: "I want to live by art»
His mother silent and cried, his father took him aside
And he said unto him, gather up thy sheets, and remember, if thou depart not return
If you leave you forget your money, your dreams
When he arrived in Bologna everything appeared to him like heaven on Earth
He knew her passing under the arcades of the Academy
She had white skin and blue and diaphanous eyes
The first time he kissed his arms he was lost in the moments
But deep down she was more than a woman she knew how to cradle him to see other worlds and then
forgetting yourself
"This strength of yours is a bomb" thought the artist as everything flowed and he
he traveled as a King
But even though he was a strong and closed soul, his wrist also gave way
when she came
And his worlds, his backgrounds, his dreams away at the edges of the sheets when he came
you
She looked for him like he was a true love
Among the merchants of the estro, in the Big Bo of Piazza Maggiore
Then he went looking for her all the time.
Among the open-air markets, the bistros, from the" Rive gauche " the smell
When he said to his papers, " yes, now she is my partner»
His old white papers his art
Set aside and then
She was so sweet she couldn't do it without
He held the elsa and seized all the essence of it
Then he saw her wandering among the people of the station
He saw friends a few hours die for his love
He saw the zombies no more heart spitting in the bottle
And with one dose of methadone make two doses of methadone
