2 Poesie di Antonio Cozzitorto
for Voice and Piano
These two intimate art songs set poems by Antonio Cozzitorto that reflect on nature, fear, and hope. Il vento evokes the calming power of wind and sea as metaphors for emotional release and renewal, while È sera gently explores the passage from fear to hope, as faint lights in the darkness guide the heart toward serenity. The music complements the quiet introspection of the texts with lyrical vocal lines and sensitive piano textures.
il vento
il vento porta sempre le barche lontano
il mare agitato diventa calmo
la serenità ritorna.
The wind carries the boats afar,
The shaken seas become calm,
Serenity returns.
è sera
e' sera
nel buio riconosco le tenebre
delle mie paure
ma in lontanza
fievoli luci mi ricordano la speranza
che non deve mai
abbandonare il mio cuore
It is evening
In the darkness I see the shadows
of my fears
but in the distance
faint lights remind me of the hope
that my heart should never forget
