Il ballo del potere

Ti muovi sulla destra poi sulla sinistraResti immobile sul centroProvi a fare un giro su te stesso, un giro su te stesso...*You miss me and I miss you*

Fingi di riandare avanti con un salto,Poi a sinistra con la fintaChe stai andando a destra, che stai andando a destra...*You miss me and I miss you*

Poi si aggiungono i pensieriCon un movimento indipendente dalla testa, dalle gambeCon un movimento dissociato dalla testa, dalle gambe...

I Pigmei dell'Africa, si siedono per terraCon un rito di socialità,Tranquilli fumano l'erba.

Ti muovi sulla destra poi sulla sinistraResti immobile sul centroProvi a fare un giro su te stesso, un giro su te stesso...*You miss me and I miss you*

*Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried. Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried*

Gli aborigeni d'AustraliaSi stendono sulla terraCon un rito di fertilitàVi lasciano il loro sperma.

*The circle symbolizes T'ai Chi which is formless and above duality. Here it is manifesting itself as the progenitor of the universe. It is divided into yin - the dark - and yang - the light - which signify the negative and positive poles. Pairs of opposites, passive and active, female and male, moon and sun.*

Gli aborigeni d'AustraliaSi stendono sulla terraCon un rito di fertilitàVi lasciano il loro sperma.

The Dance of Power

You move to the right, then to the leftYou stand still in the middleYou try to spin yourself around, spin yourself around*You miss me and I miss you*

You fake a move ahead with a jump,Then you go to the left while feintingA right, a right...*You miss me and I miss you*

Then the thoughts are added to the mixWith a movement independent from the head, from the legsWith a movement dissociated from the head, from the legs

The Pygmies of Africa sit on the groundWith a rite of sociability,They calmly smoke wood.

You move to the right, then to the leftYou stand still in the middleYou try to spin yourself around, spin yourself around*You miss me and I miss you*

*Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried. Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried*

The Australian aboriginalsLay on the groundWith a rite of fertilityThey leave their sperm there.

*The circle symbolizes T'ai Chi which is formless and above duality. Here it is manifesting itself as the progenitor of the universe.

The Australian aboriginalsLay on the groundWith a fertility riteThey leave their sperm there.
