Lyrics:
Alla notte
(The goodness poem)
To the night
To the reasonable night
I wonder
so flamingly
would you allow me
your famed
fresh sigh?
Would you whisper a prayer
to a troubled mind
For she can find relief?
Would you send to me
your brightest
midnight smile?
That strange air ripple,
draft from the door of God,
breath of heady candor
that softens the frost
from the waxy edges
of all the sad eyes
austere harbingers of solitude.
That lilting reference
to the winking dance
of the senses,
pure passion,
gentle subversion
from the art of escape.
I know your secret
Since the age of the milky days
crackling
of the juice of pleasure
of living in passion
and amazement.
I know the secret
Of your leaden crown,
dressing the mount peak,
the most coveted
by the pilgrims of glory
for since then
your dream
is my dream.
Dear night,
yesterday
the oblivion morning
took away a piece of my heart.
So you kindly offered me
your celestial elegy,
and I blew her
like to a feather
and the feather passed
in small waves
treasure of breaths
Patient
for I could call forth
one last time
and celebrate
my brother
passing through
the last frontier.
He was the brunette
most beautiful face
of the sun.
Now
that I see
comin’ mournful
a marshy, grey sky
to fulfil
its catastrophic dream,
I pray,
I pray
Never to let go
the goodness taste -
“Gone the memories to the alembic of history,
the secular flow of time morn.
Gone the soliloquy
Gone its endless exsegesis
Gone the heart
diaphanous
yet handsome,
though slight and fickle,
crystal memory of the bond of freedom.
Gone the pale sisters of the night
Turbulent and majestic,
sleepless
moonless vaults
overhanging the sea.
But
never
never
gone
the goodness taste.
Never
to let it go”.
Near the river mouth
We just got here
after days and miles on road,
oh the time flush away the wounds
and tiredness memory,
and the fear of unknown
that kills who has something to lose,
and keeps alive those who
are not ready to choose.
And I’m floating between
the sky and the earth
with few money in my pocket
and nothing else.
But the world is our eternal roundabout,
that me and my lady
will cross
until the tiredness come,
until we forget all the unnecessary worries,
that consume us in our darkest time.
So when I'll come back to work the land,
I will not sweat pain anymore,
I will not sweat tiredness anymore,
I will not sweat for no one more.
Oh death
Lyrics by Charley Patton/Denis Cassiere
Oh hush, oh hush, oh hush, oh hush…
Hey get look, get look,
someone is calling me.
Hey look, look,
someone is calling me.
Lord I know,
my time ain’t long.
Oh hush, oh hush,
someone is calling me.
Hey Lord I know, Lord I know
my time ain’t long.
Oh shit, shit.
Death stole my mother and gone.
Lord I know, Lord I know
my time ain’t long,
my time ain’t long.
It was soon
one morning when death came in the room.
Death stole my mother and gone,
death stole my father and gone.
Death, death, death…
I know,
but I know,
Lord I know,
my time ain’t long.
It was soon
one morning when death came in the room.
It was soon baby, soon.
Death.
