Sole alla valle e sole alla collina (sun to the valleys and sun to the hills) per le campagne non c'è più nessuno (but in the countryside there is no one left) Addio addio amore. Io vado via (goodbye, goodbye my love. I'm leaving) Amara terra mia...amara e bella (My bitter earth. Bitter and beautiful) Cieli infiniti e volti come pietra (Infinite skies and faces like stone) man'incallite ormai senza speranza (calloused hands, already hopeless) Addio Addio Amore Io vado via Amara terra Mia Amara e be..e..e..e..lla Tra gl'uliveti è nata già la luna (The moon is already born between the olive branches ~ meaning it's already late, party's over) Un bimbo piange allatta a un seno magro (A baby cries at a withered breast) Addio Addio Amore Io vado via Amara Terra mia Amara e be..e..lla. Amara e be..e..lla.

Shimmy shammy contra-blammy Sammy had one in pyjamis Got a little shiner when he haggled with a shriner Shaker baker, oh go make her Quaker undertaker When he jumps, he is a Laker oh lord, please don't forsake her! Skipping ripping maybe take a sip and let the swallow fill the hollow Gorgeous glow to follow Satan was sated, I waited for fate then Fate don't show your face, peace can't keep the pace Silly human race, but still holier than thou ~ Tiny lower case, silly little humans! Why don't we darn our souls to make them whole again? Why don't we just thread a needle, patch our souls and make amends? Uh oh!

Her love, he was a sailor - took boats up north and towards the equator She would come with him sometimes ~ traveller adventurer Her love at sea now, her | belly grows ~ til he comes  | home He put his hand on her belly and said ~ keep this safe for me, keep your self safe she went ashore and then the phone | rang ~ And then he was gone (keep yourself safe) and he was gone ~~~~ And there I thought all I had to worry about was the rain In the eyes of a child ~ sun sea wind and shadows play click and clack ~ the train comes back  ~ the boy grows into a | sailor

Bronty 03:26
A child of God with potential untold she comes to earth with a mission to unfold. Marks on her face which will bring her disgrace from the kids on the playground who laugh at her face. Mom and Dad give refuge from the pain caused by the judgements for not looking just the same. They bring her to a doctor with tenderness and care who takes away those marks, as if they weren't there. The ridicule, the madness, the unforgiven glare this all now avoided to make her life fair. Because we seem different, sometimes we cannot see and the pain left inside us is from our society. To see who we are please shun the disguise see the spirit in the body, the soul through the eyes. For we are all special, created with love we all have our markings given from above. My sex is a birthmark my preference is not picked I didn't come here to get ridiculed and kicked. I will stand up and be the best that I can be accept me as I am and don't give me therapy.   For the thing I did not choose, I cannot change if I'm queer. God made me this way though the purpose is not clear. We are all like Bronty, perfect from the start with God given markings to set us apart.   If I am not like you, and you are not like me, the difference between us is only what you see. Find out who you are and then you'll know me for we are all made from the same family.

All good things come in threes see your fortune in the coffee cream or in the tea cup it's the seven year itch for the cat times nine if they're black cross your path ~ and your break out in a sweat the sky will Fall on your henny penny head Knock on wood, test the wind, break a leg and say a prayer Rabbit foot horseshoe, wishing on the first star mind the Ladders and the cracks, everything thirteen in the mouth of the wolf, and we hope he bites In culo alla balena speriamo che non caga! "Cingulu cingulu ja 'ppè via ....l'occhi rossi lu viria si nun era 'ppè gamme torte.... Cingulu cingulu era morto...."

Earth slows down in winter / gravestones frozen solid Winter enters all corners / the winds in her arms, tucking in her arms Moon and the earth are slowly drifting away from each other The soul will expand in its change from life to colour, full colour Earth slows down in winter / gravestones frozen solid Waiting for the last breath / the change frees the soul, the soul at last
