lyrics

Ombra lunghissima
è questa un'alba o un tramonto?

Ombra lunghissima
come dita o lame puntate su di me

Catena che accarezza appena
i miei fianchi

Meridiana in mezzo al mare
ombra tremula sull'acqua

Ombra tremula
raggio di luce
tensione sottilissima

Incantato nelle tue reti
irretito dal tuo canto

Sono sicuro
splende a ponente
ma sono sicuro
è un'alba
anche per te


::::::::::::::::::::::::


A long, long shadow
is this a sunrise or a sunset?

A long, long shadow
like fingers or blades pointing at me

A chain that barely caresses
my hips

A sundial in the middle of the sea
a shadow, trembling on the water
a trembling shadow
a ray of light
such a subtle tension

Enchanted by your nets
ensnared by your chant

I am sure
it’s glimmering on the west
yet sure
it will be a dawn
for you as well

released November 1, 2018
Camera di Ponente (aka Alba) is a song from the concept album Raìs, an international collaborative work based on music, sounds, and images.
The name raìs was used to call the leader of the traditional red tuna fishing in the Mediterranean sea.
The history of the tuna fishing is ancient, complex and controversial, it is a jumble of religious calendars, endless superstitions, and rituals but also an incredible expression of empirical knowledge.
