1984 5º PLACE "I Treni Di Tozeur" by Alice & Franco Battiato

The trains of Tozeur

In the frontier villages, they watch the trains pass by so slowly

And roads are deserted in Tozeur

From a house far away, your mother observes me

And she remembers me for my very special ways

Then, for just a moment, my longing to live at another pace begins to waken in me

Still they pass, still very slowly, the trains for Tozeur

In the churches, God-forsaken, shelters are being prepared

And new ships for trips among the stars

In an old empty mine, vast stretches of salt

And a memory of me, like into a magic spell

Then, for just a moment, my longing to live at another pace begins to waken in me

Still they pass, still very slowly, the trains for Tozeur

Mmm...

Dai daba daba da...

Dadai da dada dadada dadá...

Dada dadai da dadá...

Doch wir wollen dir ihn zeigen

Und du wirst

Doch wir wollen dir ihn zeigen

Und du wirst

In the frontier villages, they watch the trains pass by for Tozeur
