Summer On A Solitary Beach
Franco Battiato
Summer On A Solitary Beach
We spent the summer
On a solitary beach
And the echo of an open-air cinema reached us
And on the sand, a tropical heat
From the sea
And in the afternoon
When the sun nourished us
Occasionally a shout covered the distances
And the air of things became
Unreal
Sea sea sea I want to drown
Take me far away to shipwreck
Away away away from these shores
Take me far away on the waves
A wonderful summer
On a solitary beach
Against the sea
The grand hotel Sea-Gull Magique
While far away a dark miner
Returned
Sea
