lyrics

“MOTHER'S PRIDE”,
CLOSE YOUR TIRED, LIMPED EYES
WHILE I TELL YOU A TALE...

OF A TIME,
LONG AGO AND A LAND,
I REMEMBER TOO WELL

I WAS YOUNG,
YOU A GIFT, YET TO COME
AND LIKE YOU ALWAYS THERE, BY HER SIDE

WHEN I CRIED,
SHE WOULD REACH TO THE SKY
AND RETURN WITH ABUNDANT SUPPLY

BOUGHS WOULD BEND,
AND THE SWEET, EUCALYPTUS ADJOINING THE BARK...

WERE HER'S TO TAKE,
CURLING CAREFULLY 'ROUND THEM,
THEN BOUND FOR MY PART...

WHEN YOU HUNGER...
AS I DID...
I HUNGER TO PAMPER YOUR NEEDS, MUCH AS SHE...

WHEN THEY WONDER...
“DO ELEPHANT 'S CRY?”
BY AND BY....
YES INDEED, BY AND BY

WAS A TIME,
WHEN THE WORLD HAD NO BOUNDARIES
AND OUR LIVES WERE SUBLIME

AND OUR EYES,
FILLED WITH ENDLESS HORIZONS
UNCLUTTERED BY CHAINS

WHEN YOU WAKE,
BE THIS STORY I'VE TOLD YOU
REMEMBERED AS THOUGH WERE A DREAM

WHEN THEY WONDER,
“DO ELEPHANT'S CRY?”
LET THEM SEE THEN THE TEARS IN OUR EYES

BY AND BY...
SWEET BABE,
NOT TO CRY.....LOVE

ANOTHER DAWN...
WILL COME...

YET STILL ANOTHER...
AT THE ZOO

(ITALIAN TRANSLATION)

(TEMPO FU)

(La canzone si ispira alla controversia riguardo alla vita imotiva degli animali...in particolare, il libro “Quando Gli Elefante Piangono. Le Vita Emotive Degli Animali” di Jeffrey Mousaieff & Susan McCarthy.”)


ora chiudi gli occhi
tuoi stanchi
e senti un po’
tempo fu,
bimba mia, una terra
che vive nel cuor.
Bimba fui,
tu un dono a venire
come te, stavo la accanto a lei
se piangevo
toccava il cielo
e portava giù tanto per me.

Si piega vanno
ra mi di dolce
e eucalipto lassù.

Lei sapeva
avvolgerli
teneramente così.
.
Cuando hai fame,
io cularti vorrei,
come Lei sempre faceva con me
Quando fan-
no domande “sul pianto
d’elefante?”, si o no? Oramai...oramai

Tempo fu
di un mondo aperto,

e sublime per noi.

Orizzonti,
gli oc-chi non oscurati
o barriere e poi...

Al risveglio,
il mio canto ritorna
come fiaba o sogno a te.
Quando fanno
domande “sul pianto
d’elefante?”, che lo
vedano allora da sé.

Oramai... piccina tu sei... ma lo so…(lo so)
un altra alba verrà e un’altra ancora allo zoo.
