Zai Saman
Franco Battiato · Other Songs - Franco Battiato
ialla nuzur al ahel
schufi addii
keber d weld
schufi el nas mahneia 'a zara'.
E di domenica tutto si fa quieto
usciamo insieme come una volta
a fare visita ai parenti
"guarda com'è diventato grande!".
Ho visto gente curva sopra i campi
mietere il grano
famiglie intere unirsi
i giorni di vendemmia
per la raccolta delle olive.
Zai zai zai ecc.
E una domenica ti incontrai per caso
e mi scoppiò un indescrivibile
piacere di conoscerti
guarda cos'è il Destino!
Vuoto di senso crolla l'Occidente
soffocherà per ingordigia
e assurda sete di potere
e dall'Oriente orde di fanatici.
