Passaggi A Livello - Franco Battiato

Correvano veloci lungo le gallerie

i treni di una volta trasportavano le spie

nelle carrozze letto sposi in luna di miele

facevano l’amore con l’ausilio del motore.

Mio nonno preferiva per la villeggiatura

portare i suoi parenti coi bagagli in carrozzella

l’aria della campagna carica di letame

spostava vibrazioni di una vita troppo bella.

Correvano veloci su quelle giardiniere

18 gente si sbracciava salutando alle frontiere

la vita, ci prendeva con strana frenesia

guardare il fumo uscire dalle macchine a vapore.

Giocavano sull’aia bambini e genitori

Calasso li avvertiva dal Corriere della Sera:

Copritevi che fa freddo, mettetevi le galosce…

Good vibrations, Satisfaction, sole mio

Cinderella mit violino, Lux, eterna

Galileo, douce France, Nietzsche-lieder

Kurosawa, meine liebe

mister Einstein on the beach.

They ran fast along the tunnels

the trains of yore carried spies

in sleeping carriages honeymooners

they made love with the help of the engine.

My grandfather preferred for the holiday

carry his relatives with their luggage in wheelchairs

the air of the countryside loaded with manure

it moved the vibrations of a life that was too beautiful.

They ran fast on those gardener

18 people waved waving at the borders

life took us with a strange frenzy

watch the smoke come out of the steam engines.

Children and parents played on the farmyard

Calasso warned them from the Corriere della Sera:

Cover up because it's cold, put on your galoshes ...

Good vibrations, Satisfaction, sole mio

Cinderella with violin, Lux, eternal

Galileo, douce France, Nietzsche-lieder

Kurosawa, meine liebe

mister Einstein on the beach.
