1 La storia
Una catastrofe psicocosmica
mi sbatte contro le mura del tempo.
Sentinella, che vedi?
Una catastrofe psicocosmica
contro le mura del tempo.
Durante la grande guerra nel Gennaio del 1915,
un forte vento spingeva grandi blocchi di ghiaccio galleggianti
imprigionando per sempre la nave dell'audace capitano Shakleton.
Su un piccolo battello, con due soli compagni,
navigò fino a raggiungere la Georgia Australe;
mentre i 22 superstiti dell'isola Elefante
sopportavano un tremendo inverno.
(Deriva, deriva, verso nord, nord-ovest.
Profondità 370 metri 72° di latitudine est).
Per sopravvivere furono costretti a uccidere i loro cani,
per sopravvivere.
Ma il 30 Agosto 1916, il leggendario capitano,
compariva a salvarli con un'altra nave.
2 Il ricordo
Stille Dämmerung
Der garten ist gefrohren
Die Rosen erlitten
Sage mir warum
Sage mir varum
in einem verlorenen Garten
Sage mir warum
deine Stimme hören
Sage mir warum
schweige bitte nicht.
