Cuore di pace - Amedeo Minghi

Lo chiamavano Cuore di Pace

Ed era nato alto

Forte e bello

Ed intelligente come un uccello

Che di giorno vola alto in Cielo

E come un’aquila

La scelse fra tutte

Proprio Lei

Così piccolina

Che sbarcava dalla nave

E dalla guerra da lontano

Lei

Che era figlia di una maestrina

Al tempo in cui da noi

Tornavano dall’Africa

I battelli dell’Impero Italiano pieni di malinconia

E il mare gli sembrò accecante

Le mise al dito un anello

Ed al cuore un brillante

E poi le disse: «Ti amo «Sul suo cappotto, lei capì

Il suo generoso sorriso

E poi le disse: «Ti amo «E la bomba brillò lontano…

E poi le disse: «Ti amo «E le isole si affollarono

Si riempivano di uomini armati

Ed il cielo di eliche ed ali

E il mare non dava pesce ai pescatori

Crebbero solo le arance e i limoni

Che profumavano di Natale

Le mani dei bambini e le schegge dei torroni

Allora lui le disse:

«Facciamo l’amore «Lei disse:

«E' tardi «E rise

E fu felice quella notte

Che li portò quasi a sparire

Lei

Gli nascose le pistole e le bombe

Appese alla camicia

Appese proprio sotto il cuore

E poi le disse:

«Ti amo «…

Sul suo cappotto Lei capì

Che stava andando lontano

E nell’amore Lei gridò…

Cuore di Pace

Adesso fà che

L’alba sia vicina

Ma portami sulle spalle

Come fossi una bambina

Spegni con le tue mani tutti i lampi

E quelle bombe che stanno in mezzo al mare

Accendi tanti fuochi d’artificio

E le stelle cadenti

Che ognuna fermi un sogno ed

I desideri miei più belli.

E sulla strada per il mare

Raccolse il coraggio:

Dovevano fuggire

Poi prese un pezzo di legno ed una corda

E con Amore costruì un pattino

E perchè un giorno

La gente capisse

Quanto la doveva amare

Le dette il cappotto

La mise a bordo

E cominciò a remare

Poi

Incontrarono un mercantile

Che spezzava le onde e la schiuma

E che batteva bandiera bianca

E trasportava colombe e miele

E due scale alla tempesta

E dalla tempesta su due scale

Vennero a bordo

Con le labbra di baci e sale

E poi le disse:

«Ti amo «Sul suo cappotto Lei capì

Che stava andando lontano

E nell’amore Lei gridò.

Cuore di Pace

Adesso fà

Che l’alba sia vicina

Ma portami sulle spalle

Come fossi una bambina

Spegni con le tue mani

Tutti i lampi e quelle bombe

Che stanno in mezzo al mare

Accendi tanti fuochi d’artificio

E le stelle cadenti

Che ognuna fermi un sogno

Ed i desideri miei più belli…

E poi.

le disse:

«Ti amo «E la bomba brillò lontano

E poi le disse:

«Ti amo «…

E la bomba brillò lontano

They called it Heart of Peace

And he was born tall

Strong and beautiful

And as smart as a bird

Which by day flies high in Heaven

And like an eagle

He chose her out of all

Just you

So small

Disembarking from the ship

And from the war from afar

She

That she was the daughter of a teacher

At the time when we

They were returning from Africa

The boats of the Italian Empire full of melancholy

And the sea seemed blinding to him

He put a ring on her finger

And to the heart a brilliant

And then he said to her: «I love you« On her coat, she understood

Her generous smile

And then he said to her: "I love you" And the bomb shone far away ...

And then he said to her: «I love you« And the islands crowded

They filled with armed men

And the sky of propellers and wings

And the sea gave no fish to the fishermen

Only oranges and lemons grew

That smelled of Christmas

Children's hands and nougat splinters

Then he said to her:

"Let's make love" She said:

«It's late« And she laughed

And he was happy that night

Which almost led them to disappear

She

He hid the guns and bombs from him

He hung him on his shirt

Hung right under the heart

And then he said to her:

"I love you "…

About his coat you understood

That was going far

And in love she cried ...

Heart of Peace

Now do that

Dawn is near

But carry me on your shoulders

As if I were a child

Put out all lightning with your own hands

And those bombs that are in the middle of the sea

Light many fireworks

And the shooting stars

Let each stop a dream and

My most beautiful wishes.

And on the way to the sea

She gathered the courage:

They had to flee

Then he took a piece of wood and a rope

And with Love she built a skate

And why one day

People understood

How much he must have loved her

She gave her the coat

He put her on board

And she began to row

And then

They met a merchant

That broke the waves and the foam

And that she flew the white flag

And he carried doves and honey

And two ladders to the storm

And from the storm on two scales

They came aboard

With the lips of kisses and salt

And then he said to her:

"I love you" by her On her coat She understood

That she was going far

And in love she cried out.

Heart of Peace

Now do it

May dawn be near

But carry me on your shoulders

As if I were a child

Turn off with your hands

All the lightning and those bombs

Which are in the middle of the sea

Light many fireworks

And the shooting stars

Let each stop a dream

And my most beautiful wishes ...

And then.

he said to her:

«I love you« And the bomb shone far away

And then he said to her:

"I love you "…

And the bomb shone away
