lyrics

La città dagli occhi neri

E... occhi neri,
siamo qua,
quanta voglia di vivere c’è!
perché so,
perché so,
che il tuo suolo mi (in)segna...

Piazze bagnate
di suoni abbrustoliti,
primitivi e futuri.

C’è una via dove
tutto ha un sapore che sa
di un sapere più intenso.

Vecchi pastori
raccontano ninna nanne,
intagliando sé stessi

e intanto fuori
c’è gente che insegna e non sa
addolcire le menti.

Occhi policromi,
occhi sbiancati, occhi che
sono pieni di nulla

e resta muto
un copione, ma è cosa a cui
più nessuno fa caso...

Quanto conta una rima?
Quanto conta l’enfasi?
Pura e semplice movenza
ad abbelire l’anima.

Aperture libere, mensole fantastiche,
formule che saltano da un gene all’altro.

Crescere è consumarsi, tramandarsi è crescere,
crescere è sottrarre materia dall’altro.

Fiori che sbocciano, maschere di grazia su
sforzi sorridenti di colonne sature.

Il profumo muore, l’odore resta
chiuso nello scrigno di ogni famiglia.

Dedicated to Naples, the black eyed city
