Paroles et traduction Franco Battiato - Il Ballo Del Potere

Il Ballo Del Potere

Ti muovi sulla destra poi sulla sinistra
Resti immobile sul centro
Provi a fare un giro su te stesso, un giro su te stesso
(You miss me and I miss you)
Fingi di riandare avanti con un salto
Poi a sinistra con la finta che stai andando a destra
Che stai andando a destra
(You miss me and I miss you)
Poi si aggiungono i pensieri
Con un movimento indipendente dalla testa, dalle gambe
Con un movimento dissociato dalla testa, dalle gambe
I Pigmei dell′Africa si siedono per terra
Con un rito di socialità
Tranquilli fumano l'erba
(The circle symbolizes Tai Chi which is formless and above duality)
(Here it is manifesting itself as the progenitor of the universe)
(It is divided into Yin, the dark, and Yang, the light, which signify)
(The negative and positive poles)
(Pairs of opposites, passive and active, female and male)
(Moon and Sun)
Gli aborigeni d′Australia si stendono sulla terra
Con un rito di fertilità
Vi lasciano il loro sperma
Ti muovi sulla destra poi sulla sinistra
Resti immobile sul centro
Provi a fare un giro su te stesso, un giro su te stesso
(You miss me and I miss you)
Poi si aggiungono i pensieri
Con un movimento indipendente dalla testa, dalle gambe
Con un movimento dissociato dalla testa, dalle gambe
Gli aborigeni d'Australia si stendono sulla terra

The Dance of Power

You move to the right, then to the left
You stand still in the center
You try to turn around yourself, turn around yourself
(You miss me and I miss you)
You pretend to go forward with a jump
Then to the left with the trick that you are going to the right
That you are going to the right
(You miss me and I miss you)
Then the thoughts are added
With a movement independent from the head, from the legs
With a movement dissociated from the head, from the legs
The Pygmies of Africa sit on the ground
With a sociality ritual
Quietly they smoke the grass
(The circle symbolizes Tai Chi which is formless and above duality)
(Here it is manifesting itself as the progenitor of the universe)
(It is divided into Yin, the dark, and Yang, the light, which signify)
(The negative and positive poles)
(Pairs of opposites, passive and active, female and male)
(Moon and Sun)
The Aborigines of Australia lie on the ground
With a fertility ritual
They leave their sperm there
You move to the right, then to the left
You stand still in the center
You try to turn around yourself, turn around yourself
(You miss me and I miss you)
Then the thoughts are added
With a movement independent from the head, from the legs
With a movement dissociated from the head, from the legs
The Aborigines of Australia lie on the ground
