Invito Al Viaggio
Franco Battiato
Invitation To Travel
I invite you to travel
To that country that resembles you so much
The languid suns of its hazy skies
Have for my spirit the enchantment
Of your eyes when they shine dimmed
Down there everything is order and beauty,
Calm and sensuality.
The world falls asleep in a warm light
Of hyacinth and gold.
The wandering ships lazily sleep
Arrived from every border
To fulfill your desires.
In the morning I listened
to the sounds of the garden
the language of perfumes
of flowers.
