FRANCO BATTIATO: SHACKLETON 1. La storia Una catastrofe psicocosmica mi sbatte contro le mura del tempo. Vigilo nel sonno, Vigilo. Sentinella, sentinella, che vedi? Una catastrofe psicocosmica contro le mura del tempo. Durante la grande guerra, nel gennaio del 1915, Alle estremità settentrionali Un forte vento spingeva grandi blocchi di ghiaccio galleggianti Imprigionando per sempre la nave dell'audace capitano Shackleton, Shackleton. Su un piccolo battello, con due soli compagni, Navigò fino a raggiungere la Georgia Australe Mentre i ventidue superstiti dell'isola Elefante Sopportavano un tremendo inverno. Una catastrofe psicocosmica mi sbatte contro le mura del tempo. Vigilo nel sonno, Vigilo. Sentinella, che vedi? Alla deriva, alla deriva, verso nord, nord-ovest. Profondità 370 metri. 72° di latitudine est. Per sopravvivere furono costretti a uccidere i loro cani, Per sopravvivere. Ma il 30 Agosto del 1916, il leggendario capitano Compariva a salvarli con un'altra nave. 2. Il ricordo Stille Dämmerung Der Garten ist gefrohren Die Rosen erlitten, Die Rosen erlitten.

Sage mir warum, In einem verlorenen Garten Sage mir warum deine Stimme hören Sage mir warum schweige bitte nicht schweige bitte nicht schweige bitte nicht schweige bitte nicht schweige bitte nicht schweige bitte nicht. | SHACKLETON 1. The Story. A psychocosmic catastrophe is knocking me against the walls of time. I wake in my sleep, I wake. Sentinel, sentinel, what can you see? A psychocosmic catastrophe against the walls of time. During the Great War, in January 1915, at the extreme north ends of Antarctica a strong wind drove huge floating iceblocks trapping forever the ship of brave captain Shackleton, Shackleton. On a small boat, with only two companions he kept sailing until he reached South Georgia while the twenty-two survivors of Elephant Island had to endure a fierce winter. A psychocosmic catastrophe is knocking me against the walls of time. I wake in my sleep, I wake. Sentinel, what can you see? Adrift, adrift northwards, northwestwards. Depth 370 metres, 72° east latitude. They had to sacrify their dogs to survive, only to survive. But on 30 August 1916, the legendary captain reappeared and rescued them on another ship. 2.
