Monte Rosa - Capanna Regina Margherita
Nomads in search of corners of peace/ Lost in Nordic fogs
among the ruins of civilization/ Going through the lights
and shades and monotony/ Of days that go by/ Oh you walker/
In search of peace as the sun goes down/ You will find it/
At the end of the road/ And I will leave/ The cities /
Awaiting to wake up/ Travelers in search of hospitality/ In
hamlets bathed in the sun/ And on the shallows of immensity/
They fall asleep on the pillows of the earth/ Foreigner in
search of the unfathomable dimension/ You will find it, away
from the city, at the end of the road. (Franco Battiato -
Nomadi)
