L'acrobata - Angelo Branduardi

C’un uomo l in alto,

cosa fa?

Cammina su di un filo…

Quell’uomo l in alto,

cosa fa?

Cammina su di un filo…

Ad ogni passo un poco pi in l al limite del vuoto

Ad ogni passo sempre pi in l al limite del vuoto

C’un uomo l in alto,

cosa fa?

Danza seguendo un filo…

Quell’uomo l in alto,

cosa fa?

Danza seguendo un filo…

Ad occhi chiusi avanti lui va trattenendo il respiro

ad occhi chiusi avanti lui va trattenendo il respiro

Guarda come danza, nel vuoto danza

e sul suo filo va…

Solo, l in alto danza e ancora danza

su di un filo…

There is a man up there,

what does he do?

He walks on a thread ...

That man up there,

what does he do?

He walks on a thread ...

At each step a little further to the limit of the void

With each step further and further to the limit of emptiness

There is a man up there,

what does he do?

Dance following a thread ...

That man up there,

what does he do?

Dance following a thread ...

With eyes closed he goes on holding his breath

with eyes closed he goes on holding his breath

See how it dances, in the void it dances

and on the edge of him goes ...

Alone, up there it dances and dances again

on a thread ...
