La Luna - Edoardo Bennato

tutti dissero che era un giorno speciale

dallo spazio in diretta le immagini

ed il mondo si ferm a guardare

Quelle orme impresse nell’argento

quella bandiera cos innaturale

cos immobile nell’aria senza vento

ed il mondo si fermo a guardare…

E la luna, la luna

da tanto tempo lontana

per un momento cos vicina

la luna appena sfiorata

obiettivo di sempre

e traguardo finale

di favolosi anni sessanta

che stavano per tramontare

Ma lei, luna, e non il sogno americano

se vuoi sognare, la puoi guardare da lontano…

Sembrava cos diversa la luna

in quell’estate che non era estate

ma era la prova di un lunghissimo autunno

di foglie al vento e di barricate

E la luna la pallida luna

un’emozione da dimenticare

c’erano cose molto pi importanti

ed il mondo smise di sognare

Ma lei luna, nessuno la potr cambiare

e quando sera, lei sa quello che deve fare

Lei deve colorare il cielo

ed i tuoi sogni di bambina

e addormentarsi li vicino a te…

a te…

Ma lei luna, nessuno la potr cambiare

e quando sera, lei sa quello che deve fare

Lei deve attraversare i sogni

di chi la guarda e si innamora

di chi vuole restare sola con lei…

con lei… di chi vuole

restare con lei

everyone said it was a special day

from space live images

and the world stopped to watch

Those footprints imprinted in silver

that flag so unnatural

so motionless in the windless air

and the world stopped to look ...

And the moon, the moon

from a long time away

for a moment so close

the moon just touched

goal ever

and final goal

of fabulous sixties

that were about to set

But you, moon, and not the American dream

if you want to dream, you can watch it from afar ...

The moon looked so different

in that summer that wasn't summer

but it was proof of a very long autumn

of leaves in the wind and barricades

And the moon the pale moon

an emotion to forget

there were much more important things

and the world stopped dreaming

But she moon, no one will be able to change her

and when evening, she knows what she has to do

You have to color the sky

and your childhood dreams

and fall asleep there next to you ...

to you…

But she moon, no one will be able to change her

and when evening, she knows what she has to do

She has to go through dreams

of those who look at it and fall in love

of those who want to be alone with her ...

with her ... whoever she wants

stay with her
