Текст и перевод песни Franco Battiato - Quello Che Fu

Quello Che Fu

Ah! Questo passato
Dove il mio rifugio presso di te
Fu quello che fu,
Dove la polvere più pura sulla tua soglia,
Fu quella che fu.
Duri come pietre
Come due amici eravamo insieme.
Preso del tuo cuore
Ho detto che il nostro legame
Fu quello che fu.
Irragionevole,
Non ci poteva niente,
Non potevo immaginarmi senza.
La follia
Fu quella che fu,
Fu quella che fu.
L′impero delle parole
La distinzione tra bene e male
La ripida discesa dal cielo alla terra
Disperata
Verso l'incarcerazione
Fu quello che fu
La circumnavigazione
I nomi che si diedero alle cose
La gioia e il dolore dell′esistere
L'enigma del consenso
Le emozionali imprese della specie
Fu quello che fu,
Tutto fu quello che fu.
Quel che deve ancora avvenire
Il sorgere della città di Dio
L'emblema che ci fa forti e sicuri
Oppure pazzi e disperati.
Ti gridavo: sono disperso,
Disperso,
Disperso .
Ah questo passato,
Dove il mio rifugio presso di te,
Fu quello che fu .
Dove la polvere più pura sulla tua soglia
Fu quella che fu .
Duri come pietre
Come due amici eravamo insieme .

What Was

Oh! This past
Where my refuge was with you
Was what it was
Where the purest dust on your threshold
Was what it was
Hard as stone
Like two friends, we were together
Taken from your heart
I said that our bond
Was what it was
Unreasonable
Nothing could do anything about it
I could not imagine myself without
The madness
Was what it was
Was what it was
The empire of words
The distinction between good and evil
The steep descent from heaven to earth
Desperate
Towards imprisonment
Was what it was
The circumnavigation
The names that were given to things
The joy and pain of existing
The enigma of consent
The emotional feats of the species
Were what they were
Everything was what it was
What is yet to come
The rise of the city of God
The emblem that makes us strong and secure
Or crazy and desperate
I cried out to you: I am lost
Lost
Lost
Oh this past
Where my refuge was with you
Was what it was
Where the purest dust on your threshold
Was what it was
Hard as stone
Like two friends, we were together
