What If It All Works Out?

ALCHIMIA (testo)

Se un filo dorato ora
O tra pochi istanti
Spuntasse da questa nuvola,
Proprio qui, sopra la mia testa,
E penzolasse, invitante
Suggerendomi di tirarlo verso di me,
Ubbidirei subito all'istinto

E tirerei quel filo,
Ritrovandomi
Da un'altra parte
Dello spazio e della mente

Se fossi lì, con te,
Ti aiuterei a mantenere
Lo spirito leggero,
Col sorriso e la misura
Dell'Eutrapelìa (*)

Direi la verità,
Ripudierei le furberie
E ogni inutile orgoglio
In un mondo in cui
Le falsità
Sottili e accomodanti
Regnano sovrane

Potremmo camminare
Lungo il sentiero
Trasparente e luminoso
Che porta alla città di Parresìa (*) ,
Dove nessuno crea,
O beve,
La menzogna

Adesso
Fai attenzione:
Mentre parliamo,
L'ora già
Scorre rapida

Cogli il tuo tempo,
Fidati del domani,
Meno che puoi

Cogli il tuo tempo,
Fidati del domani,
Meno che puoi

Cogli il tuo tempo,
Fidati del domani,
Meno che puoi

(*) Nell'Antica Grecia la Parresía rappresentava il dovere morale di dire la verità; l'Eutrapelìa era la Virtù del comportarsi piacevolmente.

VOYAGE EN AUTOMNE

Good Thing

[Verse]
It wasn’t too long ago
I told my wife, “ya know…
I think our house needs four paws named Beau”

Against her better judgment
We headed on down the road
To see if we could find a new friend to bring home

[Chorus]
If I only knew then
What I know now
I would have begged to make that trip
A whole lot sooner than I did

Cause when you found us in that big room
Jumped up on my chest
It wasn’t Beau that I had come to know
It was a brown eyed girl, named Ellie

[Verse]
We brought you home that day
And little did we know
The treat you’d be for years and years to come

You’d see us through trials and tribulations
Success and hesitations
You helped us grow our love along the way

[Chorus]
If I only knew then
What I know now
I would have begged to make that trip
A whole lot sooner than I did

Cause when you found us in that big room
Jumped up on my chest
It wasn’t Beau that I had come to know
It was a brown eyed girl, named Ellie

[Bridge]
We knew that you’d grow older
Your coat would start to gray
But I don’t think that either of us
Ever thought we’d see the day

[Tag]
If I only knew then
What I know now
I would have begged for you to sit girl, and stay

Cause when we left that place without you yesterday
My brown eyed girl named Ellie, I just want to say
I hope Heaven had lots of room for you to play
Hold it down, we’ll see you some day

Baby Blue
