Despertar En Primavera
Franco Battiato
Awakening in Spring
The presence of artillery in southern countries
United in foreign struggle under the kingdom of the Two Sicilies
And the predictable movements of the troops and fake battles,
Smells of gunpowder, of fire and voices from the Strait of Messina.
Hidden feeling for me.
I fell in love following the rhythm of the heart
and I woke up in Spring.
White nights of the Saracens,
who had joyful customs.
Inns forbidden to Spaniards at the gates of Catania
and the irresistible movement of women's hips.
Watching flamenco dance was a very sensual experience.
Hidden feeling for me.
I fell in love following the rhythm of the heart
and I woke up in Spring.
I'm a stranger in the night. Awakening in Spring.
Awakening in Spring. Awakening in Spring.
