Franco Battiato running against the grain

Select language to translate this lyric

Running against the grain
Running through the rain
I crossed the lower life
Following lines by counter motion
Taking advantage of my sails
Counter current flows
Always looking for the causes
That taught me to go
With discipline even against my inclinations
From time to time
I remember your face so near to me
Marmoree distant cliffs
They break every strength into a thousand foams
The smell reigns supreme over the scent of things
In truth I have never tied myself and now
My life flees diagonally
A moral desire forcefully returns
My life seeks diagonal escapes
To accelerate the warm influences of the sun
I remember your face so near to me
I observe mine condition
My precious and alternating past
My bizarre exploits, I am colored mercury
A leap beyond what lowers
Fin in another sea and in the meantime, my life flees diagonally
A moral desire forcefully returns
My life seeks escapes diagonally
To accelerate the warm influences of the sun
Never look in backward
My heart is beating with you
Running to tomorrow
And my wild heart is beating
As much but never broken
Independent my life flees
Yeah, my wild heart is beating
As much but never broken
Independent my life flees
Listen to tomorrow
