- 98 -      CARMINO MEO

  • de l'abine au rivage
  • spente le stelle
  • vedi maria
  • carmine meo
  • cuor senza sangue
  • favola breve
  • reprendo mai piu
  • une ombre dans le ciel
  • lucifero quel giomo
  • ira di dio
  • miserer venere
  • a la frontiere du reve

Spente Le Stelle

you've lost this heart
while chasing after a mirage
you've betrayed this heart
and I can do nothing but hate you
can you hear my pain?
your voice dies
and stupid as I am, I wait for you forever

forget
or live no longer
or, then, only the night, the night!

the stars have gone out
with the pale moonbeam
love cries
that rushes forward like a wave
then disappears
the night is empty
and the hope it brings is brief
bitter tears fall
a broken heart, despairing
passes by ...

what haas happened to the empty drems?
where have the brief temptations gone?


vedi maria

between the branches
dawn just hit my face
and anger shows me yours
frozen in an avid winter

silence!
birds of horror
I shout with no tongue
silence!
love destroys me
and my sun has lost it's way
but I have no wish to wage war

see, Marie
see, Marie

I'm burning, even in winter
and I would like to stop
the chariot of stars
oh, Madonna!

jealousy is holding me prisoner
and I see
without eyes
this song hurts me no more
and I run, barefoot, among the branches

I wait, and cannot find peace
oh how I wish I could perish, I often shout
but I can neither live with
nor live without such a gentle ghost
what is this, if not love?
what is this, if not love?

see, Marie
see, Marie
Madonna, come save me

carmine meo

ferryman who transports shadows
wait!
here lie frightful ashes
do not tear me apart
God, help me
can you still hear me?
it was in his arms that you gave me life

this is how girls loose themselves ...
I belong to him
I can no longer deny it
it is strange ...
his accents are engraved
in my heart
and he doesn't even know it

don't move ... I'm lying against you
don't move ... terror fills my heart
I am paying for my love for you
with my blood

life has denied you wings to fly
cruel destiny!
my heart is shaken
with eternal sobs
my adventure
is but a memory
I will never move from his arms

I will never move ... I am lying against you
I will not move ... terror fills my heart
I am paying for my love for you
with my heart ...


Cuor Senza Sanque

the rain heats the waves
between the stones, only sighs
ever since I first glispsed this Earth
it has been hostile towards me

celestial sun
spirit of mental riddle
without words
whose sweetness hurts you
I will not live ...

Painful words
you will see, vain destiny
that a heart deprived of blood
can no longer sing

half Winter, half Summer ...
exiled, deprived of you
my love runs away
and makes me a slave of a river

I laugh and I cry
life disgusts me
and I hate myself
he who I so wanted to love
has waged war against me

answer me Lord
answer me!
I can no longer speak

Favola Breve

I belong to him
allthough life is ashamed of me
today, at last I know
who I am ...
I belong to him

please
vain spirit, that leads me crying
vain spirit, that nevertheless knows how to sing
rid me of my changing thought
that I belong to no-one but him
that I belonged to no-one but him
and I live only for him
where to gather my sighs?
where, in the sky?
I'd like to run away ...

I belong to him
I cannot find peace
and death laughs at me
not even my dreams fullfill me anymore
I am consumed ...
I belong to him

Reprendo Mai Piu

without her sighs
and her sweet and noble words
the singing that is only heard
in the soul
has transformed her

alas
no-one does what they say
no-one says what they do
and this is how her life goes

her broken heart has gone to heaven
and I blame her no more
for her life filled with errors
deprived from peace and hope
her broken heart has gone to heaven
love held her prisoner
burning for to long

see that grace
that is rarely granted by the vast skies
see her celestial gait
see her drunk with love

alas
no-one does what they say
no-one says what they do
that is how the world goes

Lucifero Quel Giorno

lucifer, that day, looked so much like you
that the bad winds here
left for another life

the weary sighs
cruel celebration
is heaven for them?

it is dead, the voracious desire
dead for more than a year
love is a brief dream
oh lady
my life is running away
oh lady
the light is killing me
it is dead, the voracious desire
and trembling, what can I dare hope for?

she whistles, the poisonous one
silently she slips out of bed
she smoothes her scales
without making a sound

deceitful lover
embraces me in vain
he opens the heart
and renders the skies useless

Ira Di Dio

Lord
you who have imprisioned me
free me
I cry
and I do not pardon
the error of my ways
but, Lord
if you knew
my inconsolable pain
as you know
your suffering
O, King of the immortal heavens
you would come to me

anger of God
thoughts fill my head
love leads to hate
forgotten snow
sweet pain
I only have confidence in you

the ancient burden

of my sweet thoughts
breaks me
from whence comes such
sweet torment?

Miserere, Venere

because, each night
your sweetness accompanies me
and reminds me of my destiny
oh devine venus
I have come to pray to you

have pity on my sufferning
tell me why
I've been living so many years
under the weights of such a burden

each night
I'm afraid ...
I see again that which I kill!
alas I must kill them
to live
oh devine venus
I have come to pray to you

happy soul
one that doesn't return

for so many years
I have lived under my burden
tell me, venus
why do I live
