Come un branco di lupi - Like a Pack of Wolves

Come un branco di lupi che scende dagli altipiani ululando O uno sciame di api accanite divoratrici di petali odoranti Precipitano roteando come massi da altissimi monti in rovina Come un branco di lupi © 2014 Franco Battiato & Pino "Pinaxa" Pischetola "Come un branco di lupi" is a reworking of "L'ignoto," with text taken from "Inneres Auge."

Like a pack of wolves that descends from the highlands howling, or a swarm of bees, fierce devourers of fragrant petals, they rain down, swwirling like masses from the highest mountains in ruin.

CERN

Ti porto con me segunda feira de Lisboa nel mio antico mare nell'Acqua occidentale, nel Mediterraneo affollato di navi e corpi d'ignudi nuotatori. Fanciulli con sguardo da fiere, gli occhi di lince dei Braganza, fissano il Nord. Sognando l'oltremare, come ghirlanda intrecciano una danza. Trago dentro do meu coracao, Todos lugares onde estive: A entrada de Singapura O coral das Maldivas Macao da noite, a uma hora. Segunda - feira de Lisboa, che nome d'incanto! Qui da noi é lunedì. Soltanto. CERN © 2014 Franco Battiato & Pino "Pinaxa" Pischetola "CERN" uses lyrics from "Segunda feira." CERN is the European research organization that operates the largest particle physics lab in the world.

I carry you with me, Lisbon Monday, in my ancient sea, in the Western Waters, in the Mediterranean, crowded with ships and bodies of naked swimmers. Children with proud gaze, the eyes of the Braganza lynx, affix the north. Dreaming beyond the seas, like a garland they trace out a dance. I bring inside my heart, all the places I've been: the Singapore Inlet the Maldives Coral Macao at night, at one o'clock. Segunda-feira, such a name of enchantment! Here among us it’s Monday, merely.
