La Donna Cannone

The Cannon Woman

I’ll throw this huge heart of mine among the stars one day,
I swear I’ll do it,
and beyond the blue of the curtain, into the blue I’ll fly.
When the cannon woman of gold and silver will arise,
without stopping at the station, she’ll catch the last train.
And in the face of the wicked and the proud, my name will shine,
from the gates of the night, the day will freeze,
a round of applause from the paying crowd will highlight it
and from the mouth of the cannon, a song will play.

And with my hands, love, I’ll take you by the hands
and without saying a word, I’ll carry you in my heart
and don’t be afraid if I’m not as beautiful as you say I am
but we’ll fly in the sky in flesh and blood, we won’t come back....
Anymore, uuu uuu uuu uuu na na na na na
And without hunger and without thirst
and without air and without a net, we’ll fly away.

So the cannon woman, that huge mystery flew,
alone she walked toward a black sky.
Everyone closed their eyes at the exact moment she disappeared,
others swore and swore again that they hadn’t stayed there.
And with my hands, love, I’ll take you by the hands
and without saying a word, I’ll carry you in my heart
and don’t be afraid if I’m not as beautiful as you say I am
but we’ll fly in the sky in flesh and blood, we won’t come back....
Anymore, uuu uuu uuu uuu na na na na na.

And without hunger and without thirst
and without air and without a net, we’ll fly away.
