ENCHANTMENT

“Here is the time for the sayable, here is its homeland.

Speak and bear witness.”(R.M.Rilke)

Italian version: 

This is my Italian song written for Enchantism, a new poetic movement whose very name contains the word ‘chant - song’. Below is the lyrics translation and the video for the song.

Enchantment

Enchantment, that is what I feel

the aura downwind, the harmony of the world

It is sacred, fleeting yet intense,

fixed in the moment, in movement

I confess and sing

It trembles with poetry, an embrace in melody

I do not understand, it is the word  taking hold of me

and makes me

an element of magic, an echo of a liturgy

at the dawn of every morning in the silence

and I almost weep

Meanwhile, let us not waste time

let us find the sixth sense, the enchantment

the eye is redeemed

In the end

In the end

with empty hands 

The world

I bless

A tapestry of poetry, this story that fades away 

I shed tears of a fire that brings light 

and transforms 

what is dense into an element 

sacred, pure in controcanto

it is a counterpoint

and I almost weep

Enchantment
