Battiato Franco caff de la paix

Select language to translate this lyric

We wake up again in this current body
after having traveled within sleep.
The unconscious communicates to us with dreams
fragments of buried truths:
when I was a woman or a country priest
a mercenary or a family man.
This is why in a dream you see yourself a little different
and unknown places are familiar.
The names remain and the faces change
and the opposite: anything can happen.
How contagious and new the sky was....
and there was something more in the air.
Come and take a tea
at the Café of the Paix?
Come on, come with me.
I have to defend myself from poisonous snares
and I try to chase the sacred when I sleep
flying back to past eras
in courtyards, in spring .
The colored sands of a desert
the transparent banks of the streams.
Come and have a tea
at the Café of the Paix?
Come on, come with me.
Even today, the reindeer of the tundra
carry tribes of nomads
who travel thousands of kilometers in a year...
And looking at them they seem happy to me,
do they seem happy to you?
