Translation of the song lyrics Levante - Murubutu, Dargen D'Amico, Ghemon

Levante (original)

Io che sognavo di volare sopra i suoi respiri
Ma che i profili dei camini non li vidi mai
Perché tanti dei miei voli erano solo voli falliti
Come i primi tentativi dei fratelli Wright
C'è chi dice viva nei miti e trasporti i sogni alle folle
Che abbia insegnato a stare attenti alle forme, a stare a tempo alle foglie
Che abbia una scienza enorme nel coglierle
Che abbia insegnato le movenze alle fronde delle paulonie
Attenti ad affondi e a manovre alla rotta delle flotte delle parole
Arrivano dal fondo senza dire mai dove
Si dice che parli attraverso i via vai nei laghi delle onde di polvere
O il battito delle porte imposte esposte ad ovest
Io credo a chi sa leggere i pollini sollevati nei vortici
(Sì) Senza sbagliare scia
Per me non è un evento, è un concetto
O almeno è un elemento in concerto
Che manda le navi del senso sugli scogli della sua armonia
Un giorno lo vidi, sulla linea costiera cosparsa di viti
Una piccola casa in sassi e lamiera, tra lavanda e ulivi
Là in mezzo sommerso dove il sole divora i crinali
Non sentivo più freddo, avevo solo gli occhi più chiari e puliti
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
Muove le barche poi entra in un bar che oggi non apre
Il proprietario ricorda il proprio padre
Quante volte ha letto «chiuso per lutto»
Ma non immaginava il giorno in cui l’avrebbe scritto
Sospetto esista una vita oltre la morte, ho degli indizi
Ma mancano le prove, gli indirizzi
Perché si mangia tutto, cannibalismo
Vandalismo come Wanna Marchi, Wannalismo
Si porta via le foglie, l’acqua e il resto dello staff
Facendo saltare i ponti e gli innocenti, come la mafia
Voliamo tutti, volenti o nolenti
E ci pisciamo sopra i piedi involontariamente
Pollini virali veicolati in spirali
E Cristo si ferma ad Eboli, perché teme l’ebola
E lei teme di andarsene e mi stampa il sale sulla lingua
E fa per piangere, ma temo sia il vento, o che finga
La spiaggia va a finire nella mia granita di sangria
E mi insabbia il corpo, come la polizia
Ma io mi sento al centro del mondo come se le stelle
Fossero occhi di altri sulla mia pelle
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
Qui dove ogni opposto convive
Fischia tra i pilastri le tue melodie
Sto in piedi sull’orlo del cratere
I capelli sembrano bandiere
Sciolte al Sole o appese fiere su di un’asta
Qua stanno dritte come la coda di un Amstaff
Il tempo passa
Mellifluo come in una vasca di melassa
La mia musa è grassa, nera e vestita con un kaftan
L’animale sale da lei sulle zampe
Salivando perché il fare è ipnotizzante
Questa pozza appare come un mare grande
Quando spira l’aria arriva da Levante
E quante stelle si ammazzano per un grazie?
Tante, si ammassano insieme come in un cluster
Al che cavalco Pegaso tra le galassie
Adesso che le mascelle hanno levato tutte le ganasce
Che allo stupore non c'è fine
Un campo di cardi e noi stesi sulle traversine
Sulle traversie delle mie trenta e più candeline
Tu soffi ed il fuoco sembra raggiungere le cime
Non lo spegnere
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math

(translation)

I who dreamed of flying over his breaths
But I never saw the profiles of the fireplaces
Because so many of my flights were just failed flights
Like the first attempts of the Wright brothers
There are those who say live in myths and transport dreams to crowds
That she taught to be careful of shapes, to stay in time with the leaves
That he has enormous science in grasping them
That he taught the movements to the branches of the paulonia
Beware of lunges and maneuvers on the route of the fleets of words
They come from the bottom without ever saying where
It is said that you speak through the comings and goings in the lakes of dust waves
Or the knock of the imposed doors facing west
I believe in those who can read the pollen raised in the vortexes
(Yes) Without making a mistake
For me it is not an event, it is a concept
Or at least it's an element in concert
That sends the ships of sense on the rocks of its harmony
One day I saw him, on the vine-strewn coastline
A small house in stones and sheet metal, between lavender and olive trees
There in the submerged middle where the sun devours the ridges
I didn't feel cold anymore, I just had clearer and cleaner eyes
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
He moves the boats then enters a bar that does not open today
The owner remembers his father
How many times has he read "closed for mourning"
But he did not imagine the day he would write it
I suspect there is a life after death, I have clues
But there is no evidence, no addresses
Because you eat everything, cannibalism
Vandalism as Wanna Marchi, Wannalism
He takes away the leaves, the water and the rest of the staff
By blowing up bridges and innocent people, like the mafia
We all fly, like it or not
And we piss on our feet involuntarily
Viral pollens carried in spirals
And Christ stops at Eboli, because he fears Ebola
And she is afraid of leaving and presses salt on my tongue
And she starts to cry, but I'm afraid it's the wind, or she's pretending
The beach ends up in my sangria granita
And they cover up my body, like the police
But I feel in the center of the world as if the stars
They were other people's eyes on my skin
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
Here where every opposite coexists
Whistle your melodies between the pillars
I am standing on the edge of the crater
The hair looks like flags
Melted in the sun or hung on a pole
Here they stand straight like an Amstaff's tail
Time passes
Mellifluous as in a tub of molasses
My muse is fat, black and dressed in a kaftan
The animal climbs from her on its paws
Salivating because doing is mesmerizing
This pool looks like a big sea
When the air blows it comes from the Levant
And how many stars are killed for a thank you?
Many, they are piled together as in a cluster
At which I ride Pegasus among the galaxies
Now that the jaws have removed all the jaws
That there is no end to amazement
A field of thistles and us lying on the sleepers
On the troubles of my thirty and more candles
You blow and the fire seems to reach the tops
Don't turn it off
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
'Cause you did not do your math
