First Opera
First Opera
(Facchinetti-Negrini)
(Spoken):
I walked alone in the great forest of stone sunflowers and,
in a bubble of lost moonlight, tonight I awakened you.
The sunflowers in my garden fall in autumn
and a tired spring only generates new stones.
But today, my love, I learned from you the vibrant sound of my voice,
I have in my skin, my love, the wonderful thrill of my first idea.
My mind is here
broken into two halves
what I would like
and this reality
This life that
turns me off more and more
and the fantasy
that tries to take me away.
Worlds without ages
ghosts of cities
voices of clear water from a million
years ago.
Then I look at myself and I know
that I won't fly anymore,
I'm falling down
and the wind doesn't want me anymore.
God without image
who invades the soul
leave me here for a moment
among shiny stones
of the young moon
I'm not afraid, you know.
I have already dreamed of this land
from the extinct volcanoes
of my city.
And in the forest
I will run barefoot
And to the great sunflower I know that I will not bow.
Princess who
you slept agelessly
from the stone I
have already freed you.
Free with you
the mind goes away
towards the sun which will never go out for her again.
I'm awake and there is
life inside me
and the truth now I know what it is.
Now my page
will not be whiter
it is love that
history will write
with me.
