Los caballos de Menorca y las fiestas

click play for a live version of "The rain song" by Led Zeppelin, my favourite song ever (the best version inside "No Quarter" dvd, with orchestra: in music, the best conceivable)

Oglądam film o karnawale weneckim...

[...]

...dziewczyna w czarnych pończochach wabi
słonia dwa lwy niebieskie z malinowym jęzorem
i łapie w locie obrączkę ślubną.
Ciała nasze krnąbrne i nieskore do żałoby
nasze podniebienia smakują leguminę
popraw papierowe wstęgi i wieńce
pochyl się tak: biodro niech dotyka biodra
twoje uda są żywe
uciekajmy uciekajmy.

(Tadeusz Różewicz, 1946)

Assisto a un film sul carnevale veneziano...
[...]

...la ragazza dalle calze nere alletta l'elefante
i due leoni azzurri dalla lingua color lampone
e afferra al volo la fede nuziale.
I nostri corpi sono indocili e restii al lutto,
ghiotti sono i nostri palati di leccornie,
aggiùstati i nastri e le ghirlande di cartavelina,
chìnati così che l’anca sfiori l’anca,
le tue cosce sono vive,
fuggiamo, fuggiamo via.

Minorca's panorama

The east point of Spain is Minorca: that's why it is said that the Sun was born here.

Here comes the Sun (The Beatles-George Harrison, 1969, click here for a video)

Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the Sun, here comes the Sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right...

"Ocean drive" (Lighthouse Family, 1995, click here for the video)

Say it's true, black and blue, I can share your situation

Been holding our emotions back, will only make us cry

If you go, I know, but you know, it ain't so serious anyway

When the clouds arise

we'll live on.. Ocean Drive

Don't know why you're so blue

The Sun's gonna shine on everything you do

and the sky is so blue

The Sun's gonna shine on everything you do

He left you black and blue, without a word of explanation

And he took your love for granted and he left you high and dry

But you know someday, when you'll wonder what you see in him anyway

When that day arrives

we'll live on.. Ocean Drive

Don't know why you're so blue

The Sun's gonna shine on everything you do

and the sky is so blue

The Sun's gonna shine on everything you do...

The bicycle chain fell down... Still a few kilometres to reach Cavalleria's lighthouse...








Eran estos los mares azules
donde están las 7 rocas tan queridas
donde el monte Toro que en Menorca se levanta
domina cual su rey los 7 faros.
Lograra yo al menos avisarte,
isla de mis recuerdos! La alegría
que en el alma sintiera, acaso entonces
el prodigio feliz obrar podría
de destruir la abrasadora fiebre
que lenta me consume y aniquila...
