[Intro – Violino solitario] · Intro - Solitary violin
Oltre il mare, dove il sole muore,
Beyond the sea, where the sun dies,
c'è un'isola nascosta tra le onde.
there's an island hidden among the waves.
La giungla inghiotte pietre e sentieri,
The jungle swallows stones and paths,
e voci antiche chiamano i vivi.
and ancient voices call the living.
[Strofa 1] · Verse 1
Tra foglie nere e radici contorte,
Among black leaves and twisted roots,
camminano ombre che non hanno morte.
shadows walk that have no death.
Erano uomini, avevano un nome,
They were men, they had a name,
ora chiedono vita, gridando nel buio.
now they ask for life, crying in the dark.
[Strofa 2] · Verse 2
Più avanti si leva un ponte di pietra,
Further on, a stone bridge rises,
alto sul vuoto, sospeso alla nebbia.
high over the void, suspended in the fog.
Statue di pietra sorvegliano il passo,
Stone statues guard the passage,
e il vento ti spinge giù nell'abisso.
and the wind pushes you down into the abyss.
[Ritornello] · Chorus
Non guardarti indietro,non fermarti mai,
Don't look back, never stop,
i morti reclamano ciò che non hai.
the dead claim what you don't have.
Oltre quel ponte,tra vento e oscurità,
Beyond that bridge, between wind and darkness,
il santuario attende chi arriverà.
the sanctuary awaits whoever arrives.
[Strofa 3] · Verse 3
Le statue sussurrano storie perdute,
The statues whisper lost stories,
di vite spezzate,di anime mute.
of broken lives, of silent souls.
E sotto la pietra,nel cuore del tempio,
And beneath the stone, in the heart of the temple,
qualcuno custodisce il tempo perduto.
someone guards the lost time.
[Finale – Voce intensa, violino crescente] · Outro - Intense voice, growing violin
Se cerchi la vita,attraversa il dolore,
If you seek life, cross the pain,
ma attento a ciò che risveglierai.
but be careful what you awaken.
Quel luogo non dona ciò che hai perduto:
That place does not give what you have lost:
pretende un prezzo...e lo pagherai.
it demands a price... and you will pay it.
[Outro – Violino solo] · Outro - Solo violin
Lines explained
“i morti reclamano ciò che non hai.”
the dead claim what you don't have.
This line suggests that the journey is not just for personal gain, but also to appease or confront the past, represented by 'the dead' who demand something the living lack.
“qualcuno custodisce il tempo perduto.”
someone guards the lost time.
The 'lost time' guarded in the temple implies that the sanctuary holds secrets or knowledge from the past, perhaps even the key to understanding the 'shadows' and 'silent souls'.
“pretende un prezzo...e lo pagherai.”
it demands a price... and you will pay it.
This is a strong warning that the quest for life or answers comes with a significant, unavoidable cost, emphasizing the perilous nature of the journey and the island's power.
