Cristoforo Colombo (original)Cristoforo Colombo (translation)
E' gia stanco di vagabondare sotto un cielo sfibrato He is already tired of wandering under a worn-out sky
per quel regno affacciato sul mare che dai Mori è insidiato for that kingdom overlooking the sea that is threatened by the Moors
e di terra ne ha avuta abbastanza, non di vele e di prua and he has had enough land, not sails and prow
perché ha trovato una strada di stelle nel cielo dell’anima sua because he has found a path of stars in the sky of his soul
Se lo sente, non può più fallire, scoprirà un nuovo mondo If he feels it, he can no longer fail, he will discover a new world
quell’attesa lo lascia impaurito di toccare già il fondo that wait leaves him afraid of already touching bottom
Non gli manca il coraggio o la forza per vivere quella follia He does not lack the courage or the strength to live that madness
e anche senza equipaggio, anche fosse un miraggio ormai salperà via and even without a crew, even if it were a mirage, it will now sail away
E la Spagna di spada e di croce riconquista Granata And Spain by sword and cross reconquers Granada
con chitarre gitane e flamenco fa suonare ogni strada with gypsy guitars and flamenco makes every street sound
Isabella è la grande regina del Guadalquivir Isabella is the great queen of Guadalquivir
ma come lui è una donna convinta che il mondo non pùo finir lì but like him she is a woman who is convinced that the world cannot end there
Ha la mente già tesa all’impresa sull’oceano profondo Your mind is already strained for the enterprise on the deep ocean
caravelle e una ciurma ha concesso, per quel viaggio tremendo caravels and a crew he granted, for that terrible journey
per cercare di un mondo lontano ed incerto che non sa se ci sia to look for a distant and uncertain world that he does not know if there is
ma è già l’alba e sul molo l’abbraccia una raffica di nostalgia but it is already dawn and a burst of nostalgia embraces it on the pier
E naviga, naviga via And sail, sail away
verso un mondo impensabile ancora da ogni teoria towards a world still unthinkable by any theory
e naviga, naviga via and sails, sails away
nel suo cuore la Niña, la Pinta e la Santa Maria in the heart of him the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria
E' da un mese che naviga a vuoto quell’Atlantico amaro That bitter Atlantic has been sailing in vain for a month
ma continua a puntare l’ignoto con lo sguardo corsaro but he continues to aim at the unknown with a corsair gaze
sarà forse un’assurda battaglia ma ignorare non puoi maybe it will be an absurd battle but you can't ignore it
che l’Assurdo ci sfida per spingerci ad essere fieri di noi that the Absurd challenges us to push us to be proud of ourselves
Quante volte ha sfidato il destino aggrappato ad un legno How many times has he challenged fate clinging to a wood
per fortuna che il vino non manca e trasforma la vigliaccheria luckily there is no lack of wine and transforms cowardice
di una ciurma ribelle e già stanca, in un’isola di compagnia of a rebellious and already tired crew, on an island of company
E naviga, naviga via And sail, sail away
sulla prua che s’impenna violenta lasciando una scia on the prow that rears violently leaving a trail
naviga, naviga via sails, sails away
nel suo cuore la Niña, la Pinta e la Santa Maria in the heart of him the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria
Non si era sentito mai solo come in quel momento He had never felt as alone as he did in that moment
ma ha imparato dal vivere in mare a non darsi per vinto but he learned from living at sea not to give up
andrà a sbattere in quell’orizzonte, se una terra non c'è he will bump into that horizon, if there is no land
grida: «Fuori sul ponte compagni dovete fidarvi di me! he shouts: «Out on the deck comrades you must trust me!
Anche se non accenna a spezzarsi quel tramonto di vetro Even if he shows no sign of breaking that glass sunset
ma li aspettano fame e rimorso se tornassero indietro but hunger and remorse await them if they come back
proprio adesso che manca un respiro per giungere alla verità right now that there is a breath away to reach the truth
a quel mondo che ha forse per faro una fiaccola di libertà to that world that perhaps has a torch of freedom for its light
E naviga, naviga là And sail, sail there
come prima di nascere l’anima naviga già as before being born the soul already sails
naviga, naviga ma sails, sails but
quell’oceano è di sogni e di sabbia that ocean is made of dreams and sand
poi si alza un sipario di nebbia then a curtain of fog rises
e come un circo illusorio s’illumina l’America and like an illusory circus, America lights up
Dove il sogno dell’oro ha creato Where the dream of gold has created
mendicanti di un senso beggars of a sense
che galleggiano vacui nel vuoto floating vacant in the void
affamati d’immenso hungry for the immense
Là babeliche torri di cristallo There babelic crystal towers
già più alte del cielo already higher than the sky
fan subire al tuo cuore uno stallo make your heart suffer a stalemate
come a un Icaro in volo like an Icarus in flight
Dove da una prigione a una luna d’amianto Where from a prison to an asbestos moon
«l'uomo morto cammina» "The dead man walks"
dove il Giorno del Ringraziamento where on Thanksgiving
il tacchino in cucina the turkey in the kitchen
e mentre sciami assordanti d’aerei and while deafening swarms of planes
circondano di ragnatele surround with cobwebs
quell’inutile America amara that useless bitter America
leva l’ancora e alza le vele raise the anchor and raise the sails
E naviga, naviga via And sail, sail away
più lontano possibile as far as possible
da quell’assordante bugia from that deafening lie
naviga, naviga via sails, sails away
nel suo cuore la Niña, la Pinta e la Santa Mariain its heart the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria
