Torneremo ancora - We'll Return Again

Un suono discende da molto lontano
Assenza di tempo e di spazio
Nulla si crea, tutto si trasforma
La luce sta nell'essere luminoso
Irraggia il cosmo intero
Cittadini del mondo cercano
una terra senza confini
La vita non finisce e come il sonno
la nascita è come il risveglio

Finché non saremo liberi
Torneremo ancora
Ancora e ancora e ancora

Lo sai che il sogno è realtà
Un mondo inviolato ci aspetta da sempre
I migranti di Ganden in corpi di luce
su pianeti invisibili

Finché non saremo liberi
Torneremo ancora
Ancora e ancora e ancora

Torneremo ancora © 2019 Franco Battiato & Juri Camisasca

"Torneremo ancora" was originally written for Andrea Bocelli at the request of Caterina Caselli, the president of Bocelli's record company. The vocals of the recording are the guide track from 2015, mixed with the orchestra.

A sound descends from far away,
absent of time and of space.
Nothing is created, everything is transformed.
Light is in the luminous being,
it radiates the entire cosmos.
Citizens of the world search
for a land without borders.
Life doesn’t end, and like sleep,
birth is like reawakening.

Until we are free,
we will return again,
again and again and again.

You know that the dream is reality,
an inviolate world awaits us always,
the migrants of Ganden in bodies of light
on invisible planets.

Until we are free,
we will return again,
again and again and again.
