Sentimiento nuevo - New Feeling

Es un sentimiento nuevo Che mi tiene alta la vita La passione nella gola L'eros che si fa parola Le tue strane inibizioni Non fanno parte del sesso I desideri mitici di prostitute libiche Il senso del possesso che fu pre-alessandrino La tua voce come il coro delle sirene di Ulisse m'incatena Ed è bellissimo perdersi in quest'incantesimo è bellissimo perdersi in quest'incantesimo Tutti i muscoli del corpo Pronti per l'accoppiamento Nel Giappone delle geishe Si abbandonano all'amore Le tue strane inibizioni Che scatenano il piacere Lo shivaismo tantrico Di stile dionisiaco La lotta pornografica dei Greci e dei Latini La tua pelle come un'oasi nel deserto ancora mi cattura Ed è bellissimo perdersi in quest'incantesimo è bellissimo perdersi in quest'incantesimo I desideri mitici di prostitute libiche Il senso del possesso che fu pre-alessandrino La tua voce come il coro delle sirene di Ulisse m'incatena Ed è bellissimo perdersi in quest'incantesimo è bellissimo perdersi in quest'incantesimo Sentimiento nuevo © 1981 Franco Battiato "Sentimiento nuevo" is about the joy of losing yourself in the most carnal aspect of love, a theme Battiato will return to in future albums, though it is not a theme he is known to have experienced much in his own life.

It’s a new feeling that lifts up my life – the passion in the throat, the eros that is made word. Your strange inhibitions are not part of sex – the mythic desires of the Libyan prostitutes, the pre-Alexandrian sense of possession, your voice like the chorus of the Sirens of Ulysses enchants me. And it’s beautiful to lose oneself in this enchantment, it’s beautiful to lose oneself in this enchantment. All the muscles of the body, ready for mating. In the Japan of the Geishas they abandoned themselves to love. Your strange inhibitions that stir up pleasure – the tantric Shivism Dionysian style, the pornographic struggle of the Greeks and Latins. Your skin like an oasis in the desert still captures me. And it’s beautiful to lose oneself in this enchantment, it’s beautiful to lose oneself in this enchantment. The mythic desire of the Lybian prostitutes, the pre-Alexandrian sense of possession. Your voice like the chorus of the Sirens of Ulysses enchants me. And it’s beautiful to lose oneself in this enchantment, it’s beautiful to lose oneself in this enchantment. 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.
