LYRICS
Si spegne il lume della mente
Si ferma il battito del cuore
Si ferma la cellula vivente
Tutto si spegne e muore
Finisce cosí questa carcassa
immobilizzata fra quattro tavolette;
diritta, con contegno in detta cassa,
stará finché ridotta é in polveretta.
Solo l’anima, spirito immortale
sará eterna a testimoniare
che l’uomo nella sua veste di mortale,
nel mondo é sol passato per poi andare
Si ferma il battito del cuore
Si ferma la cellula vivente
Tutto si spegne e muore
Finisce cosí questa carcassa
immobilizzata fra quattro tavolette;
diritta, con contegno in detta cassa,
stará finché ridotta é in polveretta.
Solo l’anima, spirito immortale
sará eterna a testimoniare
che l’uomo nella sua veste di mortale,
nel mondo é sol passato per poi andare
Elide Pagano (neé Trotta)

Just Passing Through
The light of the mind goes out
The heartbeat stops
The living organism stops
Everything extinguishes and dies
Thus expired this corpse
fixed between four boards
with upright demeanour, in said box
will stay until it is reduced to dust.
Only the soul, immortal spirit
will be eternal to testify
that man in his mortal guise
passes through the world only to depart
The heartbeat stops
The living organism stops
Everything extinguishes and dies
Thus expired this corpse
fixed between four boards
with upright demeanour, in said box
will stay until it is reduced to dust.
Only the soul, immortal spirit
will be eternal to testify
that man in his mortal guise
passes through the world only to depart
Translation: Maria Molinari
