La Sombra De La Luz

Franco Battiato Franco Battiato

The Shadow of the Light

Defend me from opposing forces,
the nightly dream when I am not conscious,
when my path becomes uncertain.
And never leave me again,
never leave me again.

Return me to the highest zones,
to one of your realms of calm.
It's time to escape these cycles of lives.
And never leave me again,
never leave me again.

Why are the joys of the deepest affection
or the most subtle longing of pulse
only the shadow of the light?

Remind me how unhappy I feel
far from all your laws.
How not to waste the time I have left?
And never leave me again,
never leave me again.

Why is the peace of certain monasteries
or the vibrant harmony of all my senses
only the shadow of the light?
