Echoes of sufi dance

Franco Battiato

Chanson egocentrique

"Avenue Park My life in the dark I with me Do you smile For arabian style I like hit Miami Beach boys Children with toys Across the universe. Chan-son egocentrique Self centred song Chan-son egocentrique Self centred song. Chi sono, dove sono Quando sono assente di me Da dove vengo, dove vado Dalla pupilla viziosa delle nuvole La luna scende i gradini di grattacieli Per prendermi la vita. Chan-son egocentrique ecc. Central Park I love in the dark Ich bin klein People sang Around the campfire ground I remember Prehistoric sound Was the time of the dinosaur age Oh, Nein. Chan-son egocentrique ecc. Mi dice Sui seni nudi muoio d'amore Quando vedrai la mia ragazza Dille che io l'amo. Chan-son egocentrique ecc. » continua"
I want to see you as a dancer

"I want to see you as a dancer Like the desert gypsy women Whit candelabras on their heads Or like the balineses on their holidays I want to see you as a dancer Like dervishes tourneurs Who twist around around their back-bones To the sound of ankle bracelets of Katakali The walls are turning turning all around us As we are dancing Dancing The walls are turning turning all around us As we are dancing And radio Tirana's playing Music fro Balkan For Bulgarian dancers With bare feet they dance on burning embers In the oriental island In sunny summer dance halls Couples of old folks are dancing To a rhythm in seven-eight The walls are turning turning all around us As we are dancing Dancing The walls are turning turning all around us As we are dancing In the rhythm of the heath -the key Of old tribal magical rites Kingdoms of the Shamans And rebel players on the road again Down across the plainlands In sunny summer dance halls Couples of old folks are dancing A classical Viennese waltz » continua"
Lover's season

"Lover's springtime, lover's season comes and goes, And our desires never age with time, come what may, This is so, For when I think of how I've wasted those moments Lost forever, they'll never never return. Lover's springtime, lover's season comes and goes, And suddenly you realize, there you are, In surprise. Ah how many lost occasions we've thrown away, Never have regrets, never never say die. Still a new enthusiasm waits to make your heart beat strong. Another chance to discover just who you are » continua"
The animal

"Living life is not too hard If I can be born again Many things could be chenged now A bit of lightness And less stupidity Faking, you're good at faking When you are close to me You always tell me I'm right And I'd like to tell you That I feel better Alone. Yes but the animal which is inside me Won't let me live in happiness again He takes all, the coffee too He renders me a slave of all my passions He never does give up He doesn't want to wait And still the animal which is inside me Wants you. Inside me signs of fire And water often quenches them If you want them to burn You leave them in the air Or let them be on earth. » continua"
The king of the world

"Strange how the rumble of fighter planes once Disturbed the rhythm of the balconies' plants And after silence then far away The sudden cannon's roar. And from the radio signals in code One day in heaven fires of Bengala Peace came back again Yet the king of the world Keeps our hearts enchained. In the full white dresses Echeos of Sufi dances In Japan's undergrounds today Oxygen machines » continua"
The trains of tozeur

"In the frontier villages they Watch the trains pass by so slowly And roads are deserted in Tozeur. From a house far away Your mother observes me And she remembers me For my very special ways Then for just a moment my longing To live at another pace begins to waken in me. Still they pass, still very slowly the trains for Tozeur. In the churches, God-forsaken, Shelters are being prepared and new ships, For trips among the stars In an old empty mine, Vast stretches of salt And a memory of me Like into a magic spell » continua"
