2. ‘A PANZA
‘Avi sempri ragiuni
‘a panza ‘avi ragiuni
quannu ti dici cosi ca nun sai capiri
ma ca fanu beni
Quannu batti lu cori
e ti lassa senza ciatu
quannu senti ‘dda scossa
t’ha ‘ddari na mossa, chidda è a strata giusta
magari si ti scanti, si cunti lamenti
si ti pari strana, si pari luntana
ascuta ‘dda campana!
‘Avi sempri ragiuni
‘ddu focu ‘avi ragiuni
quannu s’adduma d’intra, ti duna sustanza
e ti fa cantari!
Nun lu lassari iri
tenitillu strittu ‘nda lu cori
ascuta ‘ddu caluri e ‘n ti scantari
iddu sapi c’ha ‘ffari
Impara ad ascutari, ’n sevvi parrari
lassati guidari, ‘stu focu e ‘sta panza
sanu abbastanza!
Ora lassa stari ‘a mala cunvinzioni ca nun si po’ fa’
si batti lu cori, si ti fa ‘rrizzari, ti ‘nna ‘gghiri ‘dda
s’abbrillanu l’occhi e si senti u firvuri, ‘dda c’è virità
strafutti ‘a paura, ascuta l’anima…. ccu serenità!

2. THE BELLY (Meaning your gut)
She’s always right
your belly is always right
when she tells you things, that you don’t understand,
yet they do you good
when your heart beats
and it leaves you breathless
when you feel that chill
you have to move quickly, that’s the right path
even if it scares you, even if you complain
even if it sounds weird and too far
keep listening to that bell!
He’s always right,
that fire is always right
when it lit from within, it warms you up
and make you sing!
Don’t let it go,
hold it tight in your hands
listen to that warmth, don’t be afraid
he knows what to do
learn to listen, no need to talk
let yourself be guided, this fire and this belly
know enough!!!
Now let go of the bad belief that it can't be done
if your heart beats, if you get goosebumps, you gotta go there
if your eyes shine and you feel that fervor, there it’s the truth
let go of the fear, listen to your soul… with serenity!

1. GANDALF (Wayfaring Stranger)
Viaggiaturi de’ muntagni
vai circannu virità
furasteri tra la genti
t’addumanni cu mai saprà
L’occhi chiari e lu cappeddu
‘i so’ paroli su poesia
lu vastuni, ‘a varva ianca e lu manteddu
‘i so pinseri su’ magia
Adduma u focu ppi fari luci
fa n’surrisu ppi dari paci
nun sapemu di unni veni
nun sapemu unni è ca va’
Tu stranieru ‘nda ‘sta terra
vai furriannu ‘ppa città
una stidda n’do camminu
si sicuru ca spunterà
Iddu amicu di la genti
sapi fari ‘i mavarie
porta paci ‘nda ‘sta menti
‘nda ‘sta strada spunterà
Adduma u focu ppi fari luci
fa n’surrisu ppi dari paci
nun sapemu di unni veni
nun sapemu unni è ca va’
1. GANDALF (Wayfaring Stranger)
Traveler of the mountains
searching for the truth
a stranger among the folk
you wonder who will ever know
clear eyes and pointed hat
his words are poetry
the walking staff, white beard, and the cloak
his thoughts are magic
He lights the fire to make light
he smiles to bring peace
we don’t know where he comes from
we don’t know where he goes
You, stranger in this land
walking through the valley
you know you’ll find
a star on your way
He, a friend of the people
knows how to do spells
he brings peace to our minds
he will show up on our way
He lights the fire to make light
he smiles to bring peace
we don’t know where he comes from
we don’t know where he goes
3. MAGIC
They tell us that the world is full of adversity
to always be alert, evil is around the corner
they teach us that dreaming is for fools
“aim lower, don’t even think about it, you cannot do it”
what if instead, they told us another truth
that life reserves the best for us
that all these fears are the real disease
“aim higher, don’t be afraid, you will make it”
What if they tell you “the world needs you”
what if they tell you “there is magic in your heart”
what if they let you fly high with your fantasy
what if your weirdest ideas weren’t mistaken for folly
what if you knew that your heart is stronger than yourself…
wouldn’t you do things that now you don’t do?
wouldn’t you know stories that now you don’t know?
wouldn’t you travel lands where now you don’t go?
wouldn’t there be light in these eyes..?
they tell us this world is full of infamy
to not trust anybody, danger is always around the corner
they teach us of difficulties
“hold tight whatever easy job gives you the bread”
what if instead, they told us another truth
that we can find very special people on our way
that we are the lucky ones
“Close your eyes, ask with your heart, everything is possible”
What if they tell you “the world needs you”
what if they tell you “there is magic in your heart”
what if they let you fly high with your fantasy
what if your weirdest ideas weren’t mistaken for folly
what if you knew that your heart is stronger than yourself…
wouldn’t you do things that now you don’t do?
wouldn’t you know stories that now you don’t know?
wouldn’t you travel lands where now you don’t go?
wouldn’t there be light in these eyes..?
What if they tell you “the world needs you”
what if they tell you “there is magic in your heart”
what if they let you fly high with your fantasy
what if your weirdest ideas weren’t mistaken for folly
What if they tell you your heart is stronger than yourself…
What if you knew you are a magician endowed with powerful spells
what if they let you fly high with your fantasy
what if you knew that your heart is stronger than yourself…
And if you knew you are a magician endowed with powerful spells…
wouldn’t you do things that now you don’t do?
wouldn’t you know stories that now you don’t know?
wouldn’t you travel lands where now you don’t go?
wouldn’t there be light in these eyes..?

4. DREAM
Heart of my heart listen always to your truth
follow that light
trust the fire within
it’s a message from the Lord
A strong mission for you
soul full of love
pure creature of rarity
Open your wings and fly high in the blue sky
grab the sun, which is already part of yourself
shine this light which is you
dream my love
never stop.
keep your heart dreaming always and fully
don’t worry about the storm, it will go away
let the wind guide you
through this path, you will need strength and courage
even if might seems difficult, don’t erase your vision
let go of the people that keep you on the ground
they don’t know how much love you feel when you dream
how strong is the light you make
let your eyes shine as much as you can
your smiles
are my joy
dream always even if you need to go far from me..
I will always be next to you.

5. ANGELS
A love that doesn’t age
an unexpected job proposal
a word straight to the
center of your heart
a curious old lady
a man who’s walking on the street
they show up in the weirdest forms
they take us through the weirdest travels
of love, of difficulty, of truth
Angels,
of thousands of colors
they have no wings, they have no white gown
they are masters of magic spells
and all of a sudden they show up in our life,
they push us in the right direction and they go away..
a lover who goes away
a stranger becoming familiar
a thought that doesn’t go away
and we don’t know how come it is there
a friend of adventures
a star on our path
they show up in the weirdest forms
they take us through the weirdest travels
of love, of difficulty, of truth
Angels,
of thousands of colors
they have no wings, they have no white gown
they are master of magic spells
and all of a sudden they show up in our life,
they push us in the right direction and they go away..
Who knows who send them here,
for sure he has a good heart
whoever invented Life..
they show up in the weirdest forms
they take us through the weirdest travels
of love, of difficulty, of truth
Angels,
of thousands of colors
they have no wings, they have no white gown
they are master of magic spells
and all of a sudden they show up in our life,
they push us in the right direction and they go away..

6. LOVE!
Colors light up in the darkness
red, orange, silver, gold and fire
drums play in a circle
and these voices that sing about love
The dances begin,
the eyes speak to the heart
light-hearted smiles and no nuisances
we are all here together, to spread love
hand on hand you take me here
in this land of poetry and peace
heart on heart you tell me that
torment can be healed.
Close your eyes and dance, we are all here together
Close your eyes and sing this music
Close your eyes and play whatever instrument you find
Close your eyes, and just LOVE.. this humanity
Music is loud from far away
we embrace each other
the sun and the sea make us dreaming
of a future without pain
Welcome to this beautiful land
where light takes over the darkness
where there are no winners or losers,
where we are all of the same colors
hand on hand you take me here
in this land of poetry and peace
heart on heart you tell me that
torment can be healed.
Close your eyes and dance, we are all here together
Close your eyes and sing this music
Close your eyes and play whatever instrument you find

7. EARTH
Did you know the Earth always knows what to do?
If you just wonder how come we are here
Did you know your heart always tells you what to do?
he hides between heartbeats
Stop for a second. Breath in this perfect harmony.
Let go of the power who takes you away
Don’t you hear She is screaming for mercy?
....it is the Earth, right here.
Did you know this planet has always danced between stars?
without even falling
Did you know Sun has been warming its surface,
making life possible?
Stop for a second. Breath in this perfect harmony.
Let go of the power who takes you away
Listen better to this crying
it is this planet, that cannot live anymore
Stop for a second. Breath in this perfect harmony.
Let go of the power who takes you away
Don’t you hear She is screaming for mercy?
is the Earth, right here.
Listen better to this crying
is this planet, that cannot live anymore
Who gave you the right to change everything
and play God?
Who gave you the certainty that you know better?
Remember this planet was living way before than you
Who gave you those nerves to look into your child's eyes,
while you are poisoning the food that satiates their hunger?
Who told you this Mother will remain silent,
crying tears of this bitter truth?
Don’t you realize we need to love nature and respect life?
Don’t you realize we are nothing without the Air and Water…
of this Planet Earth..?
Did you know the Earth always knows what to do?
Please, ask yourself, how come we are here..
7. TERRA

9. STRANIZZA D'AMURI
Testo di Franco Battiato
'Ndo vadduni da Scammacca i carritteri
Ogni tantu lassaunu
i loru bisogni e li muscuni ci abbulaunu supra
Jeumu a caccia di lucettuli
A litturina da Ciccum-Etnea, I saggi ginnici, 'u Nabuccu
A scola sta finennu
Man manu ca passunu i jonna
Sta frevi mi trasi 'nda ll'ossa
Ccu tuttu ca fora c'è a guerra
Mi sentu, stranizza d'amuri
L’amuri
E quannu t'ancontru 'nda strata
Mi veni 'na scossa 'ndo cori
Ccu tuttu ca fora si mori
Na mori stranizza d'amuri
L’amuri
9. STRANGENESS OF LOVE/MIRACLE OF LOVE
Lyrics by Franco Battiato
In the valley of Scammacca, the carters
from time to time left their dejections
and the blowflies buzzed over
and we went hunting lizards…
The Circum-Aetnean diesel railcar, the school concerts,
the Nabucco, school will soon be over.
As the years are going by
this fever gets into my bones,
though war is raging outside
I feel the miracle of love,
of love
And when I meet you in the street
I feel a shock in my heart,
though death is raging outside
the miracle of love does not die
love
10. E VUI DURMITI ANCORA
Testo di Giovanni Formisano
Lu suli è già spuntatu di lu mari
E vui, bidduzza mia, durmiti ancora,
L'aceddi sunu stanchi di cantari
E affriddateddi aspettanu ccà fora;
Supra li barcuneddi su pusati
E aspettanu quann'è ca v’affacciati.
Lassati stari, non durmiti cchiui,
Ca ‘mmenzu a chiddi, dintra sta vanedda,
Ci sugnu puri iù, c'aspettu a vui,
Ppi viriri 'sta facci accussì bedda;
Passu cca fora tutti li nuttati
E aspettu sulu quannu v’affacciati.
10. YOU STILL SLEEP
Lyrics by Giovanni Formisano
The sun has already appeared on the sea
And you my darling still sleep
The birds are tired of singing
They are rested on this little boat
And they wait when it is that
you'll look out the window
Give up do not sleep anymore
with them in this alley
there's also me waiting for you
to see this face so beautiful
I spend my nights here outside
And I only wait for you to look out the window
8. PEACE
The biggest disease in this world
it’s hidden within yourself
it is your heart crunching
while you beat up yourself
“How could I do it? how couldn’t I see it
If I only could go back I would change there”
"What are you talking about, why are you crying ?
there is always a reason for us to be here"
"I’m not good,
Listen, I do everything upside down"
"You are just a human, trying your best out of what your life
taught you. You listen! don’t judge yourself! "
"How can I live like that?
I just want to cry"
Forgiveness is the magic word
it brings peace to this agony
and the heart start breathing again
when you nurture it with love
"Don’t punish yourself, don’t judge yourself ,
there is always a reason why things happen "
"I’m too tired of feeling like this,
if I only could go back"
"Let the love heal you ,
don’t poison your heart"
"Please tell me how to do it,
how can I let my soul breath again"
"Just listen to your heart, listen to his prayers,
let it go and love yourself.."
Forgiveness is the magic word,
it brings peace to this agony,
and the heart start breathing again
when you nurture it with love
"Don’t punish yourself, don’t judge yourself "
“How could I do it? how couldn’t I see it?"
"You are just a human, trying your best out of what your life
taught you" ///// "I’m not good"
"Just listen to your heart, listen to his prayers"
"Please tell me how to do it, how to let go"
"Let the love heal you"
"How can I do it, How can I live like that?"
…"You are just a human, trying your best out of what your life
taught you"

“Iu nun sugnu bonu, iu n’sugnu cunchiurutu”
“Ascuta lu cori, ascuta li so’ prigheri”
“Dimmi comu fari, comu lassari stari”
“Lassa ca l’amuri ti pozza sanari”
“Com’aviss’a ‘ffari com’aviss’a campari?
….“Tu sí sulu n’umanu cu chidduca t’a’nsignanu”
