Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine歌词完整版
Tormented by visions of flight and falling,
More wondrous and terrible each than the last,
Master Leonardo imagines an engine
To carry a man up into the sun
And as he's dreaming the heavens call him,
Softly whispering their siren-song:
"Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni à volare".
L'uomo colle sua congiegniate e grandi ale,
Facciendo forza contro alla resistente aria.
As the candles burn low he paces and writes,
Releasing purchased pigeons one by one
Into the golden Tuscan sunrise
And as he dreams, again the calling,
The very air itself gives voice:
"Leonardo. Leonardo, vieni à volare".
Vicina all'elemento del fuoco
Scratching quill on crumpled paper
(Rete, canna, filo, carta.)
Images of wing and frame and fabric fastened tightly.
sulla suprema sottile aria
As the midnight watchtower tolls,
Over rooftop, street and dome,
The triumph of a human being ascending
In the dreaming of a mortal man.
Leonardo steels himself,
Takes one last breath, and leaps
"Leonardo, vieni à volare! Leonardo, sognare!".
