Alexander Calder · Piccolo clown con tromba
dal Circo di Calder · 1926-31
Cani che si rincorrono nella neve in un giorno di sole; mani legate per il gelo agli alberi neri; profumo di calicanto al risveglio, prima d’ogni parola: oggi materiali per sogni, immagini senza più proporzione, soltanto ricordi. Graziano Spinosi
Innocent When You Dream
The bats are in the belfry
the dew is on the moor
where are the arms that held me
and pledged her love before
and pledged her love before
It’s such a sad old feeling
the fields are soft and green
it’s memories that I’m stealing
but you’re innocent when you dream
when you dream
you’re innocent when you dream
Running through the graveyard
we laughed my friends and I
we swore we’d be together
until the day we died
until the day we died
It’s such a sad old feeling
the fields are soft and green
it’s memories that I’m stealing
but you’re innocent when you dream
when you dream
you’re innocent when you dream
I made a golden promise
that we would never part
I gave my love a locket
and then I broke her heart
and then I broke her heart
It’s such a sad old feeling
the fields are soft and green
it’s memories that I’m stealing
but you’re innocent when you dream
when you dream
you’re innocent when you dream.
