“Ti invito al viaggio
in quel paese che ti somiglia tanto.
I soli languidi dei suoi cieli annebbiati
hanno per il mio spirito l'incanto
dei tuoi occhi quando brillano offuscati.
Laggiù tutto é ordine e bellezza,
calma e voluttà.
Il mondo s'addormenta in una calda luce
di giacinto e d'oro.
Dormono pigramente i vascelli vagabondi
arrivati da ogni confine
per soddisfare i tuoi desideri.
Le matin j'écoutais
les sons du jardin
la langage des parfums
des fleurs.”
― Franco Battiato
