A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O.

Meraviglioso




"...Life, love - Wonderful
the affection of a woman
who only loves you?  Miraculous..."


Meraviglioso *

E’ vero

credetemi e accaduto

di notte su di un ponte

guardando l’acqua scura

con la dannata voglia

di fare un tuffo giu uh

D’un tratto

qualcuno alle mie spalle

forse un angelo

vestito da passante

mi porto via dicendomi

Cosi ih:

Meraviglioso

ma come non ti accorgi

di quanto il mondo sia

meraviglioso

Meraviglioso

perfino il tuo dolore

potra guarire poi

meraviglioso

Ma guarda intorno a te

che doni ti hanno fatto:

ti hanno inventato

il mare eh!

Tu dici non ho niente

Ti sembra niente il sole!

La vita

l’amore

Meraviglioso

il bene di una donna

che ama solo te

meraviglioso

La luce di un mattino

l’abbraccio di un amico

il viso di un bambino

meraviglioso

meraviglioso…


(vocalizzato)

Miraculous
It's true
Believe me, it happened
one night, on a bridge
watching the dark water
with the damned desire
of making a dive
Suddenly,
someone [was] behind me
maybe an angel
dressed as a passer-by
took me away telling me
this:
Miraculous,
but how can you not realize
how much the world is
Miraculous.
Miraculous
even your pain
could go away then
Miraculous.
Look around you
the gifts given to you:
invented for you,
the sea!
You say you don't have anything.
Does the sun seem nothing to you?
Life
love
Miraculous,
the affection of a woman
who only loves you?
Miraculous
The light of a morning,
the hug of a friend,
the face of a child,
Miraculous
Miraculous...ah!…(while the song keeps playing)

...Look around you
the gifts they gave you:
they invented for you
the sea!
...You say you don't have anything.
Does the sun seem like nothing to you?!
Life
love
Miraculous
The night was over
but I was still feeling you
life's love
Miraculous
Miraculous...

* I translated this song and am in no way fluent in Italian, so my words may be literal.  No matter, the spirit of this wonderful song comes across loud and clear.  

'Meraviglioso' can mean, 'miraculous,' 'marvelous' or 'wonderful' - take your pick.
