GERANIO

Balla piano nella via
balla il vento della notte
balla un sogno che non c'è più.

Balla l'ombra della luna
sfiora il tempo la fortuna
balla piano, balla laggiù.

Balla solo nella via
balla un sogno già lontano
balla piano, balla laggiù.

Balla, balla l'allegria
solo un bimbo, melograno
balla, piange nella via
balla, neve, gelo e fame
balla, gocce cosa sia
balla e cuoce le campane
balla il suono della guerra
fuochi intorno e neve in terra
balla il suono della via
balla un suono andato via
balla piano, balla laggiù.
PROMENADE THE PUZZLE

Lady dancing on a Tulip
Pirouetting in the sunset
Let me be your next cigarette.
Church bells, played by a penguin
Bearded priest who walks like chaplin,
I must fly like a swallow tonight.
Chinese rice paper poet
Dips his paintbrush in the silence
Of the lake which mirrors the sky.
Milkmaids waltz around the haystack
when the maestro blows his trumpet.
Bandsmen hammer at the cafe
for the gypsy's drawbridge bottle.
Choir boys pull on the zig-zag
Of the monkey's dream piano.
Fish eat stolen keys in rivers
Where the wooden legs go sailing.
Clocks join hands to dance the polka.
Sweep the carpet under the carpet
Promenade the Puzzle.
