Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Come Un Sigillo by Franco Battiato from Italian to English.
Ponimi come un sigillo sul tuo cuore
Place me like a seal upon your heart
Così resterò impresso in te per sempre
So I will remain imprinted in you forever
E tu passavi appena le sottili dita sul prepuzio
And you barely touched the delicate fingers on the foreskin
Poi sfioravi il glande e i sensi celebravano il loro splendore
Then you grazed the glans and the senses celebrated their splendor
Ed era bello starti ad osservare
And it was beautiful to observe you
Confermavi il mondo della coesistenza materiale
You confirmed the world of material coexistence
Ponimi come un sigillo sul tuo cuore
Place me like a seal upon your heart
Come un sigillo sulle tue braccia
Like a seal upon your arms
Pronuncio il tuo nome contro ogni sventura
I pronounce your name against every misfortune
Vinceva la tristezza il tuo soffio vitale eretico
Sadness was defeated by your heretical vital breath
Seguivo le gazzelle veloci
I followed the fast gazelles
Come il sogno che mi passa accanto
Like the dream that passes me by
Ed era bello starti ad osservare
And it was beautiful to observe you
Confermavi il tempo della coesistenza materiale
You confirmed the time of material coexistence
Ponimi come un sigillo sul tuo cuore
Place me like a seal upon your heart
Come un sigillo sulle tue braccia
Like a seal upon your arms
Perché quando sarò in esilio
Because when I am in exile
E al buio resterò nelle notti oscure
And I will remain in the dark in the dark nights
Inconsapevole del divenire
Unaware of what is to come
