Come un branco di lupi
Like a pack of wolves
Che scende dagli altipiani ululando
Coming down from the highlands howling
O uno sciame di api
Or a swarm of bees
Accanite divoratrici di petali odoranti
Fierce devourers of smelling petals
Precipitano roteando come massi da
They fall spinning like boulders from
Altissimi monti in rovina
High mountains in ruins
Uno dice che male c'è
One says that evil is there
A organizzare feste private
To organize private parties
Con delle belle ragazze
With beautiful girls
Per allietare primari e servitori dello stato?
To cheer primaries and servants of the state?
Non ci siamo capiti
We didn't understand each other
E perché mai dovremmo pagare
And why we should pay
Anche gli extra a dei rincoglioniti?
Even the extras to the coglioniti?
Che cosa possono le leggi
What laws can
Dove regna soltanto il denaro?
Where only money reigns?
La giustizia non è altro che una pubblica merce
Justice is nothing but a public commodity
Di cosa vivrebbero
What they would live on
Ciarlatani e truffatori
Charlatans and scammers
Se non avessero moneta sonante da gettare come ami fra la gente
If they had no sound money to throw like hooks among the people
La linea orizzontale
The horizontal line
Ci spinge verso la materia
It pushes us towards matter
Quella verticale verso lo spirito
The vertical one towards the spirit
Inneres Auge, das innere Auge
Inneres Auge, das innere Auge
Con le palpebre chiuse
With closed eyelids
S'intravede un chiarore
There is a glimpse of a light
Che con il tempo e ci vuole pazienza
That with time and it takes patience
Si apre allo sguardo interiore
It opens to the inner gaze
Inneres Auge, das innere Auge
Inneres Auge, das innere Auge
La linea orizzontale ci spinge verso la materia
The horizontal line pushes us towards matter
Quella verticale verso lo spirito
The vertical one towards the spirit
La linea orizzontale ci spinge verso la materia
The horizontal line pushes us towards matter
Quella verticale verso lo spirito
The vertical one towards the spirit
Ma quando ritorno in me
But when I come back to myself
Sulla mia via a leggere e studiare
On my way to reading and studying
Ascoltando i grandi del passato
Listening to the greats of the past
Mi basta una sonata di Corelli
A sonata by Corelli is enough for me
Perché mi meravigli del creato
Because I marvel at creation
