Franco Battiato - I'm That lyrics

What glorious light

wisdom without bound

wrapt in eternal solitary shade

The impenetrable gloom

of light intense

impervious inaccessible immense

And brought light to the gods and mortal man

my abstinence and renunciation left his heaven to me

you are a hero you are what is ten times more.

We're come from stars' cosmic nature

now we are destroying the future

A real man

everything is good

inspired by love and wine

The light which is in me

is now ablaze in me

I come from the first chosen

What joy to breathe the scent of open air

which die like the last rays of the sun

no mortal man has lifted my veil.

I'm neither Muslim nor Hindu

Non sono mussulmano nè induista

nor Christian nor Buddhist

nè cristiano nè buddista

I'm not for the hammer

non sono per il martello

neither for the sickle

nè per la falce

and even less for the tricolour flame

nè tanto meno per la fiamma tricolore

because I'm a musician

perchè sono un musicista
