lyrics

Trade of spices and incense through valleys
riding sand tracks and crossing the steps
a collection of dialects and races
mixing people through old times and places

In the deserts and lands of kingdoms
marching travellers proceeding with wisdom
men have left here their traces for years
that the wind and the sand dry like tears

E' la Via della Seta che segna
il destino di chi vive e regna
tra ricchezze, miseria e speranze
tra odori, profumi ed essenze

Voci e visi dell'umanità
vesti e veli che nascondono l'età

Through the bad roads the cart moves in May
lots of traces and rocks on the way
hear the noise of the steps and the wheels
which have already gone with the wind

E' la Via della Seta che segna
il destino di chi vive e regna
tra ricchezze, miseria e speranze
tra odori, profumi ed essenze

People gathering there in the courtyard
like thousands of grapes in a vineyard
claiming hands that are fighting for rice
through the crowd there’s a young bride in white

The long journey is starting soon again and...
a strange light is drawn up in the sky and...
see the moonlight through the mountains
where luck is crossing while you’re passing

Dove s'incontra gente straniera
terre lontane, popoli e imperi

Dove si passa tra la scienza e la fede
storie segrete, questa è la Via della Seta

..la Via della Seta
