Da oriente a occidente [English translation]

Reduce the stars to powder

And you won't get old.

In a dream Venus appeared to me.

You, father, what do you know?

Far from this darkness

The future ripens,

The sky is empty of clouds.

Father, let me go away!

The light over the vulcano

Will show me the way out.

From the fire of the darkness

I choose a new life.
