Via Lattea - Franco Battiato

Ci alzammo che non era ancora l’alba

Pronti per trasbordare

Dentro un satellite artificiale

Che ci condusse in fretta

Alle porte di Sirio

Dove un equipaggio sperimentale

Si preparava

Al lungo viaggio

Noi

Provinciali dell’Orsa Minore

Alla conquista degli spazi interstellari

E vestiti di grigio chiaro

Per non disperdersi

Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale

Dentro la Via Lattea

Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale

Dentro la Via Lattea

Un capitano del centro impressioni

Colto da esaurimento

Venne presto mandato in esilio

Mi preparavo

Al lungo viaggio

…In cui ci si perde

Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale

Dentro la Via Lattea

Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale

Dentro la Via Lattea

Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale

Dentro la Via Lattea

Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale

Dentro la Via Lattea

We got up when it wasn't dawn yet

Ready to tranship

Inside an artificial satellite

Which led us quickly

At the gates of Sirio

Where an experimental crew

He was getting ready

On the long journey

We

Provincials of the Ursa Minor

Conquering interstellar spaces

And dressed in light gray

Not to get lost

We followed certain routes diagonally

Inside the Milky Way

We followed certain routes diagonally

Inside the Milky Way

An impression center captain

Seized by exhaustion

He was soon sent into exile

I was getting ready

On the long journey

… In which you get lost

We followed certain routes diagonally

Inside the Milky Way

We followed certain routes diagonally

Inside the Milky Way

We followed certain routes diagonally

Inside the Milky Way

We followed certain routes diagonally

Inside the Milky Way
