L'albero del pane - Gianmaria Testa

Di passi la strada

Di passi e di sabbia il confine

Dovunque si vada barriera di mare sar?

Aperta soltanto

Aperta al ritorno di venti

Di naufraghi e vele

Chiunque ci parta

Comunque ci ritorner?

Di sabbia la strada

E d’ombra la pianta del pane

A chiunque ci vada rifugio e prigione dar?

E finestra di vento

Aperta soltanto

Al ricordo di voci e sirene

Dovunque si parta

Comunque si ritorner?

E' d’ombra la strada

E nell’ombra si lascia passare

Dovunque si vada soltanto illusione sar?

E poi sogno, miraggio

Distanza, passaggio

E risveglio fra l’albero e il pane

Per quanto si parta

Comunque si ritorner?

Walk the road

The border is made of footsteps and sand

Wherever you go will sea barrier be?

Open only

Open at the return of winds

Of castaways and sails

Anyone who goes there

Anyway, will I return?

The road is sandy

The bread plant is in the shade

To anyone who goes there to give refuge and prison?

And window of wind

Open only

At the memory of voices and sirens

Wherever you go

However, will we return?

The road is in shadow

And in the shadows it lets itself pass

Wherever one goes only illusion will be?

And then I dream, a mirage

Distance, passage

And awakening between the tree and the bread

As far as we leave

However, will we return?
