Translation of the song lyrics Lingua A Sonagli - Carmen Consoli

Lingua A Sonagli (original)

guardo in fondo a un buco che
rimane spento
dentro le formiche parlano di me silenzio intorno, facile
distinguere le voci delle nuvole
e in questo silenzio
penso al losco tiro muto
riservato alle mie spalle
onoratissime!
perch non parli
cosicch potr stanarti
lingua a sonagli
sputa in bocca ai tuoi fratelli
forse il sole timido
non parla al vento
di fervori strani nascosti dentro s mentre il mare livido
rimane appeso sempre sotto il cielo
parlarne inutile
e in questo silenzio
penso al losco tiro muto
riservato alle mie spalle
onoratissime!
perch non parli
cosicch potr studiarti
lingua a sonagli
sputa in bocca ai tuoi fratelli
perch non parli
cosicch potr stanarti
lingua a sonagli

Lingua A Sonagli (translation)

I look at the bottom of a hole that
remains off
inside the ants talk about me silence around, easy
distinguish the voices of the clouds
and in this silence
I think of the shady dumb shot
reserved behind me
honored!
why don't you talk
so that I can flush you out
rattle tongue
spit in the mouth of your brothers
perhaps the shy sun
does not speak to the wind
of strange fervors hidden inside while the livid sea
it always hangs under the sky
talking about it is useless
and in this silence
I think of the shady dumb shot
reserved behind me
honored!
why don't you talk
so that I can study you
rattle tongue
spit in the mouth of your brothers
why don't you talk
so that I can flush you out
rattle tongue
