Due Canti Meridionali

Song Cycle by Carol Barnett

Score: Carol Barnett (external link)
Publisher: Carol Barnett (external link)

1. Nel grande letto la notte
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nel grande letto la notte
Ti tengo stretta la mano;
Sotto le palpebre chiuse 
passa un ricordo di luce:
Andavamo un po' trasognati 
in mezzo ad un campo di grano 
e tu mi tenevi la mano.
Ma mi lasciasti ad un tratto 
per cogliere un ramo fiorito 
apparso al di sopra di un muro.

Nel grande letto la notte
Ti tengo stretta la mano, 
si, stretta; che tu all' improvviso 
non vada oltre il muro 
ove tutto è mistero, 
lasciandomi sola nel buio
con un ricordo di luce 
sotto le palpebre chiuse.

2. Quando rinasceremo
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando rinasceremo 
saremo un unica pianta, 
saremoun unico fiore, 
e avremo dimenticato 
di essere stati due.

Quando vinasceremo
saremo un' onda nel mare, 
una nuvola in cielo,
saremo in un tuono, in un fulmine, 
in un suono di flauto; 
e avremo dimenticato 
di essere stati due.
