radici montecchio emilia (re)
song : radici francesco guccini ( 1972)
roots
The house on the edge of night
if it is dark and silent,
breathes a clear air and light
and hears voices perhaps from another age
and hears voices perhaps from another age
The house on the edge of memories,
always the same, as you know,
and there you seek your origins
if you want to understand your soul,
if you want to understand your soul
How many times and how many lives have slipped away from you,
like the river as it passes around you,
you who have seen the birth and death of my ancestors,
slowly, day after day
and I, the last, ask you if you know in me
some sign, some trace of each life
or if only I seek in you
an answer to everything you did not understand,
an answer to everything you did not understand...
But it is useless to seek the words,
the ancient stone emits no sound
or speaks like the world and the sun,
words too big for a man,
words too big for a man ...
And you hear them in those bonds,
ancient rituals and myths of the past
and you hear them inside like hands,
but you do not understand what they mean,
but you do not understand what they mean
But what sense is there in that which is born within your walls
everything is dead and no one ever knew
or perhaps it just does not make sense to ask,
the more I ask myself and the less I understand
And I, the last, ask you if it will be like this
for the next one who wants to understand
and if the next one finds here only
the usual endless silence,
the usual endless silence ...
The house is a reference point,
your roots give you wisdom
and maybe this is the answer
and you find a great sense of sweetness,
and you find a great sense of sweetness ...
