Il ballo del potere [English translation]

You move to the right, then to the left

You stand still in the middle

You try to spin yourself around, spin yourself around

*You miss me and I miss you*

You fake a move ahead with a jump,

Then you go to the left while feinting

A right, a right...

*You miss me and I miss you*

Then the thoughts are added to the mix

With a movement independent from the head, from the legs

With a movement dissociated from the head, from the legs

The Pygmies of Africa sit on the ground

With a rite of sociability,

They calmly smoke wood.

You move to the right, then to the left

You stand still in the middle

You try to spin yourself around, spin yourself around

*You miss me and I miss you*

*Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried. Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried*

The Australian aboriginals

Lay on the ground

With a rite of fertility

They leave their sperm there.

*The circle symbolizes T'ai Chi which is formless and above duality. Here it is manifesting itself as the progenitor of the universe. It is divided into yin - the dark - and yang - the light - which signify the negative and positive poles. Pairs of opposites, passive and active, female and male, moon and sun.*

The Australian aboriginals

Lay on the ground

With a fertility rite

They leave their sperm there.
