Rara la vita in due fatta di lievi gesti E affetti di giornata, consistenti o no Bisogna muoversi come ospiti pieni di premure Con delicata attenzione per non disturbare... Ed è in certi sguardi Che si vede l’infinito Stridono le auto come bisonti infuriati Le strade sono praterie... Accanto a grattacieli assolati Come possiamo tenere nascosta la nostra intesa Ed è in certi sguardi Che s’intravede l’infinito Tutto l’universo obbedisce all’amore Come puoi tenere nascosto un amore Ed è così Che ci trattiene nelle sue catene Tutto l’universo obbedisce all’amore Come possiamo Tenere nascosta la nostra intesa Ed è in certi sguardi Che si nasconde l’infinito Tutto l’universo obbedisce all'amore Come puoi tenere nascosto un amore Ed è così Che ci trattiene nelle sue catene Tutto l’universo obbedisce all'amore Tutto l'universo obbedisce all'amore © 2007 Franco Battiato "Tutto l'universo obbedisce all'amore" takes its title from a 1660 poem of the same name (in French) by the poet Jean de La Fontaine. Joining Battiato on vocals is Carmen Consoli. |
Rare the life together made of slight gestures and affections of a day, consistent or not. One must move around like guests full of kindness, with delicate attention to not disturb . . . And it’s in certain glances that one sees the infinite. The cars squeal like infuriated bison, The streets are prairies . . . Next to sun-drenched skyscrapers How can we hold hidden our connection? And it’s in certain glances that one glimpses the infinite. The whole universe obeys love How can you hold hidden a love? And it’s thus that we’re held back in its chains. The whole universe obeys love. How can we hold hidden our connection? And it’s in certain glances that one hides the infinite. The whole universe obeys love. How can you hold hidden a love? And it’s thus that we’re held back in its chains. The whole universe obeys love. English translation © 2020 Dennis Criteser Fleurs 2 was released in 2008. Like the two previous Fleurs albums, it is a collection of covers plus two Battiato originals. |
