La Collina Dei Ciliegi
Lucio Battisti
Cherry Hill
And if you really want to live
A brighter and more fragrant life
Erase with courage
That plea from the eyes
Too often wisdom
It's just the most stagnant prudence
And almost always behind the hill
It's the sun
But why?
Don't you want yourself to be blue and shiny?
But why don't you want to?
Roam with me
Flying around tradition
Like a dove around a ball
Braked
And with a peck of the beak
Well fixed
Drill it and he down, down, down?
And we even further up
Gliding over forests of outstretched arms
A smile that doesn't have
No longer a face nor an age
And breathing breezes that spread over lands
Without limits and boundaries
We move away and then we find ourselves closer again
And higher and further
(If you close your eyes for a moment)
Now children of the immensity
If you follow my mind, if you follow my mind
You easily abandon old jealousies
But you don't realize that it's just fear
That pollutes and kills feelings?
Souls have no gender nor are they mine
No, do not fear, you will not be prey to the winds
But why don't you give it to me?
Your hand, why?
We could run up the hill
And among the cherry trees see the morning
And the day
And kicking a stone
Residue of Hell
Roll it down, down, down
And we even further up
Gliding over forests of outstretched arms
A smile that doesn't have
No longer a face nor an age
And breathing breezes that spread over lands
Without limits and boundaries
We move away and then we find ourselves closer again
And higher and further
Now children of the immensity
