Lyrics

Fra i fiori tropicali, fra grida di dolcezza
La lenta e lieve brezza scivolava
E piano poi portava fischiando fra la rete
L’odore delle sete e della spezie
Leone di Venezia, Leone di San
Marco
L’arma cristiana è al varco
Dell’Oriente
Ai ponti di ponente il mare ti ha portato
I carichi di avorio e di broccato
Le vesti dei mercanti trasudano di ori
Tesori immani portano le stive
Si affacciano alle rive
Le colorate vele
Fragranti di garofano e di pepe
Trasudano le schiene
Schiantate dal lavoro
Son per la terra mirra, l’oro e incenso
Sembra che sia nel vento
Su fra la palma somma
Il grido del sudore e della gomma
E l’Asia par che dorma
Ma sta sospesa in aria
L’immensa millenaria sua cultura
I bianchi e la natura
Non possono schiacciare
I Buddha, i Chela, gli uomini ed il mare
Leone di San Marco, Leone del Profeta
Ad est di Creta corre il tuo vangelo
Si staglia contro il cielo
Il tuo simbolo strano
La spada e non il libro hai nella mano
Terra di meraviglie
Terra di grazie e di mali
Di mitici animali da «bestiari»
Si arriva dai santuari
Fin sopra all’alta plancia
Il fumo della Ganja e dell’incenso
E quel profumo intenso
È rotta di gabbiani:
Segno di vani simboli divini
E gli uccelli marini
Additano col volo
La strada del Katai per Marco Polo

Lyrics translation

Among tropical flowers, among cries of sweetness
The slow, gentle breeze glided
And then slowly he was whistling through the net
The smell of silks and spices
Lion Of Venice, Lion of San
Mark
The Christian weapon is at hand
Of The East
To the Western bridges the sea took you
Cargo of ivory and Brocade
The garments of the merchants ooze with gold
Huge treasures carry the holds
They overlook the banks
The colorful sails
Fragrant carnation and pepper
Exude the backs
Crashed by work
They are for the Earth myrrh, gold and incense
It seems to be in the wind
Up between the sum Palm
The cry of sweat and gum
And Asia seems to sleep
But it's hanging in the air
The immense millennial its culture
The whites and nature
They can not crush
The Buddhas, the Chelas, the men and the sea
Lion of St. Mark, Lion of the Prophet
East of Crete runs your gospel
It stands against the sky
Your strange symbol
The sword and not the book you have in your hand
Land of wonders
Land of Graces and ills
Of mythical animals from " bestiari»
You come from the sanctuaries
Up to the High Bridge
The smoke of Ganja and incense
And that intense scent
It is broken by seagulls:
Sign of vain divine symbols
And seabirds
Additano with flight
The Katai road to Marco Polo
