LYRICS 

L’Invasione di Farfalle
testo e musica Giuseppina Ciarla

Tornerei indietro
Ad esplorare le strade
Che ci hanno tenuto distanti
In un cammino a ritroso ritroverei le tue mani
Le tue mani
Prima di avermi toccata
E la tua bocca ancora prima di te

Ed il tuo amplesso ancora mille e mille volte
​partorirà un invasione di farfalle
Le guarderò una ad una stropicciarsi le ali
Ridendo piano
Riso di sconfinato ardore
E allora anch’io ti attraverserei
Per fare a meno di te
Butterfly Invasion
music and lyrics Giuseppina Ciarla


I would like to go back in time
To explore the paths
​that kept us distant

In a backward motion I would discover your hands
Your hands
Before they even touched me
And your mouth even before you

And your embrace again and a thousand times more
Will give birth to an invasion of butterflies
I will look at them one by one
As they crumple their wings
Smiling softly
A smile of boundless ardor
And then I too would pass through you to do without you

Preghiera
testo e musica Giuseppina Ciarla


Amore mio attraversami,
Riconosciti in me,
E spiegami me stessa.
Sgrana tra le tue dita
La materia della mia anima
E condividi coi miei sogni l’inspiegabile.

Legami col filo più prezioso,
Infinita matassa che mi conceda 
Di viaggiare nell'immenso libera
E riempimi di campanelli invisibili
Tintinnanti ad ogni moto del tuo cuore.

Non sarai 
tu non sarai mai solo
tu non sarai

Amore mio attraversami,
Riconosciti in me,
E spiegami me stessa.
Ascolterò il canto della tua vita
E sarà la mia musica più amata...

Non sarai 
tu non sarai mai solo
tu non sarai
mai solo 
non no no no tu non sarai
mai solo

Prayer

lyrics and music Giuseppina Ciarla

My love pass through me
Recognize yourself in me
And explain me to myself
Hull through your fingers
the matter of my soul
And share with my dreams the inexplicable.

Tie my with the most precious thread
Never ending hank which will let me
Travel free in the immensity
And cover  me with invisible bells
Tinkling at each one of your hearts motions.

You will never
you will never be alone
You will never be 

My love pass through me,
Recognize yourself in me,
And explain me to myself.
I will listen to your life’s song
And it will become my most beloved music...
​
You will never be
you will never be alone
You will never be 
never alone
Oh no, you will not
You will never be alone

The Ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti
Lyrics Joan Baez
Music Ennio Morricone


Father, yes, I am a prisoner 
Fear not to relay my crime 
The crime is loving the forsaken 
Only silence is shame 

And now I'll tell you what's against us 
An art that's lived for centuries 
Go through the years and you will find 
What's blackened all of history 

Against us is the law 
With its immensity of strength and power 
Against us is the law! 
Police know how to make a man 
A guilty or an innocent 
Against us is the power of police! 

The shameless lies that men have told 
Will ever more be paid in gold 
​Against us is the power of the gold! 
Against us is racial hatred 
And the simple fact that we are poor 

My father dear, I am a prisoner 
Don't be ashamed to tell my crime 
The crime of love and brotherhood 
And only silence is shame 

With me I have my love, my innocence, 
The workers, and the poor 
For all of this I'm safe and strong 
And hope is mine 

Rebellion, revolution don't need dollars 
They need this instead 
Imagination, suffering, light and love 
And care for every human being 

You never steal, you never kill 
You are a part of strength and life 
The revolution goes from man to man 
And heart to heart 
​
And I sense when I look at the stars 
That we are children of life 
Death is small
