The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "E poi" by Pierangelo Bertoli.
Lyrics
E poi fu la notte e il giorno e l’aria, il sole, la vita
Genesi oscura di un seme, fermento di forza infinita
E il passero spiega le ali appena scaldate dal sole
Si innalza a guardare lontano e aquila fu la sua prole
Costretto a vincere il tempo e le fiere
Per sopravvivere osasti l’ignoto
Creasti il mito e le dolci chimere per rendere tutti i giorni di vuoto
Il mito creato da te contro i forti per dare agli oppressi il riparo dai torti
Scopristi le terre ignorate per dare più spazio ai fratelli
Scalasti le vette dell’arte
Volasti assieme agli uccelli
Salisti più in alto nel cielo cercando altri mondi lontani
Rompesti sempre quel velo violando gli spazi più arcani
Fu uomo chi diede la vita al progresso
Fu uomo chi vinse con piccola forza
Fu uomo chi seppe combatter se stesso
Fu uomo chi ruppe la ruvida scorza che copre l’amore, che cambia gli istinti
Spezzando gli spazi dai loro dipinti
E l’uomo creò un altro uomo generando da sempre se stesso
Regalando ai suoi figli quel dono che divenne man mano il progresso
E mettesti la macchina in moto, non sapendo che cosa facevi
Come il mago che sfida l’ignoto, innocente perché non sapevi…
Lyrics translation
And then was the night and the day and the air, The Sun, the life
Dark genesis of a seed, ferment of infinite strength
And the Sparrow explains the wings just warmed by the sun
He rises to look far away and Eagle was his offspring
Forced to win time and fairs
To survive you dare the unknown
You created the myth and the sweet chimeras to make every day empty
The myth created by you against the strong to give the oppressed shelter from wrongs
Discover the ignored lands to give more space to the brothers
Scalasti the peaks of art
You flew with the birds
Soars higher in the sky looking for other worlds far away
You always broke that veil violating the most arcane spaces
It was man who gave life to progress
It was man who won with little force
It was man who knew how to fight himself
It was man who broke the rough peel that covers love, which changes instincts
Breaking the spaces from their paintings
And man created another man, always begetting himself
Giving to his children that gift that became as progress
And you started the car, not knowing what you were doing
Like the wizard who defies the unknown, innocent because you didn't know…
