For Song Saturday, a magnificent song by Italian singer/songwriter Riccardo Cocciante: “Cervo a Primavera” (1980). Enjoy!
A Deer in Spring
And I shall be reborn A deer in Spring, Or rather, I’ll become A seagull of the reef, With nothing more to forget With no more questions to ask, Just a space to occupy.
And I shall be reborn My friend, you who understand me I’ll transform myself into someone Who can no longer fail – A partridge of the mountain Who flies and doesn’t dream In a leaf or in a chestnut.
And I shall be reborn My dear friend, oh, my friend, And I’ll find myself With no pens nor plumes, No fear of falling, Intent only on soaring Like an eternal migratory bird…
And I shall be reborn Without any complexes or frustrations, My friend, I’ll listen To the symphonies of the seasons With a definite role to play, So happy to have been born Between sky and earth and infinity…
CERVO A PRIMAVERA
E io rinascerò Cervo a primavera Oppure diverrò Gabbiano da scogliera Senza più niente da scordare Senza domande più da fare Con uno spazio da occupare...
E io rinascerò Amico che mi sai capire E mi trasformerò in qualcuno Che non può più fallire Una pernice di montagna Che vola eppur non sogna In una foglia o una castagna...
E io rinascerò Amico caro, amico mio E mi ritroverò Con penne e piume senza io Senza paura di cadere Intento solo a volteggiare Come un eterno migratore...
E io rinascerò Senza complessi e frustrazioni Amico mio, ascolterò Le sinfonie delle stagioni Con un mio ruolo definito Così felice di esser nato Tra cielo terra e l'infinito...
I have been blogging daily on this platform for several years now. It is surprising that I have persisted as the world is changing and "microblogging" is now the norm. I blog to amuse myself, make comment on current affairs, externalise some of my creativity, keep notes on things that interest me, learn something new and to surprise myself with things that I discover about this wonderful, and sometimes crazy, world we live in.
I sometimes get the impression that I am on a soapbox delivering a monologue, so your comments are welcome.
