Mezzogiorno - Giuni Russo

Quand’ero stanca di lavorare

Mi sedevo da sola al balcone

Il sole andava in alto e nel cielo

Tessevo il tuo nome con le nuvole

Ad intervalli folate di vento

Portavano odori di campi lontani

E un’ape smarrita nella mia stanza

Mormorava notizie di te Era mezzogiorno quando mi hai lasciata

Ero da sola al mio balcone

Quando te ne sei andato

La sanguinante nostalgia di un sorriso

E di carni generose

Il lieve gusto del sale

Che hanno il sesso e le lacrime

Ero da sola al mio balcone

Quando te ne sei andato

Era mezzogiorno quando mi hai lasciata

Ero da sola al mio balcone

Quando te ne sei andato

Ma I giorni passano tutti uguali

Nelle catene di un’immensa passione

Fra le sommosse e le rivoluzioni

Nel deserto dell’amore

E sono stanca di sopportare

Sgranando rosari d’infelici pensieri

Divento farfalla e m’involo tra I fiori

Lasciando alle spalle il dolore

Era mezzogiorno quando mi hai lasciato

Ero da sola al mio balcone

Quando te ne sei andato

Voglio svuotare il mio cuore

E distruggere ogni traccia di passione

E a quel gusto del sale

Con aneliti d’orgoglio io rispondo

Sono farfalla e m’involo tra I fiori

Lasciando alle spalle il dolore

Divento farfalla e m’involo tra I fiori

Lasciando alle spalle il dolore

When I was tired of working

I sat alone on the balcony

The sun went up and into the sky

I wove your name with the clouds

At intervals gusts of wind

They carried smells of distant fields

And a bee lost in my room

He was whispering news of you. It was noon when you left me

I was alone on my balcony

When you are gone

The bloody nostalgia for a smile

And generous meats

The slight taste of salt

Having sex and tears

I was alone on my balcony

When you are gone

It was noon when you left me

I was alone on my balcony

When you are gone

But the days go by all the same

In the chains of an immense passion

Between riots and revolutions

In the desert of love

And I'm tired of putting up with it

By shelling rosaries of unhappy thoughts

I become a butterfly and fly among the flowers

Leaving the pain behind

It was noon when you left me

I was alone on my balcony

When you are gone

I want to empty my heart

And destroy any trace of passion

And that taste of salt

With longings of pride I reply

I am a butterfly and I fly among the flowers

Leaving the pain behind

I become a butterfly and fly among the flowers

Leaving the pain behind
