Gli uccelli - Birds

Volano gli uccelli volano Nello spazio tra le nuvole Con le regole assegnate A questa parte di universo Al nostro sistema solare Aprono le ali Scendono in picchiata atterrano meglio di aeroplani Cambiano le prospettive al mondo Voli imprevedibili ed ascese velocissime Traiettorie impercettibili Codici di geometria esistenziale Migrano gli uccelli emigrano Con il cambio di stagione Giochi di aperture alari Che nascondono segreti Di questo sistema solare Aprono le ali Scendono in picchiata atterrano meglio di aeroplani Cambiano le prospettive al mondo Voli imprevedibili ed ascese velocissime Traiettorie impercettibili Codici di geometria esistenziale Volano gli uccelli volano Nello spazio tra le nuvole Con le regole assegnate A questa parte di universo Al nostro sistema solare Gli uccelli © 1981 Franco Battiato In the Islamic tradition, birds are a symbol of the immortality of the soul, and Sufis see in them the rebirth of the spirit.

Birds fly, they fly in the space between the clouds with the laws assigned to this part of the universe, to our solar system. They open their wings, they descend in a dive, they land better than airplanes. They change the world’s perspectives, unforeseen flights and rapid ascents, imperceptible flight paths, codes of existential geometry. Birds migrate, they emigrate with the change of season. Plays of wingspans that hide secrets of this solar system. They open their wings they descend in a dive, they land better than airplanes. They change outlooks the world over, unpredictable flights and rapid-fast ascents imperceptible flight patterns, codes of existential geometry. Birds fly, they fly in the space between the clouds with the laws assigned to this part of the universe, to our solar system. English translation © 2020 Dennis Criteser La voce del padrone was released in 1981 and was the first Italian pop album to sell more than a million copies, remaining on the charts for more than a year after its release. Intellectual pop, refined, yet danceable and accessible to a wide audience - the album really hit the mark both artistically and commercially. The album title derives from the work of Gurdjieff, whom Battiato began studying in 1975. It refers to the higher consciousness that an awakened person can use to direct their physical, emotional and psychological impulses.
