Lyrics
Via Lattea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ci alzammo che non era ancora l'alba
pronti per trasbordare
dentro un satellite artificiale
che ci condusse in fretta
alle porte di Sirio
dove un equipaggio sperimentale
si preparava
al lungo viaggio.
Noi
provinciali dell'Orsa Minore
alla conquista degli spazi interstellari
e vestiti di grigio chiaro
per non disperdersi.
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
dentro la Via Lattea.
Un capitano del centro impressioni
colto da esaurimento
venne presto mandato in esilio.
Mi preparavo
al lungo viaggio
...in cui ci si perde.
Seguimmo certe rotte in diagonale
dentro la Via Lattea.
