Hans Werner Henze - Grecian 1970

Copied!edit Lyrics

Atene, Grecia, segreto, vertice
Di favola incastonata dentro il
Topazio che l'inanella

Sol proprio azzurro insorta
In minimi
Limiti, per essere misura, liberta
Della misura, liberta di legge che
A se liberi legge

Sino dal mare
Dal cielo al mare
Liberi l'umano vertice
La legge di liberta, dal mare al cielo

Non saresti piu, Atene, Grecia
Che tana di dissennati? Che
Terra della dismisura aperti
Che a chi aspirava all'umana
Dignita, apriva gli occhi

Ora, mostruosa accecheresti?
Chi ti ha ridotta a tale
Quali mostri?

Release Date: January 01, 1973
