"La festa onoro di Demetra santa e di Persefone." (Archiloco)
The third track of 'Telamon'.
Second part of the 'Bibbirrìa Suite.' A composition with an ethnic flavor, featuring overlays of oriental melodies and Afro-Cuban patterns. Titled and dedicated to 'Bibbirrìa,' an ancient historic district in the city of Agrigento, always a cradle of Arab populations.
The lyrics of the piece describe the love towards Agrigento felt by a hypothetical couple of lovers who, after reaching the highest point of the city, are overwhelmed by the powerful beauty of the place, to the extent that they no longer want to leave.
lyrics
Teni l'occhi ncap'u munti
Arrivannu finu a cchi...
Jemu adagio passu a passu
Nun cadiri
Forza
E
Rapi u cori ntra lu ventu
Lassa u mari, ora
Stringi a vita nta na manu
Arbuli ca, pari chi s'ammėscanu all'erba
Animi ca, pari chi s'ammųcciunu all'aria
Omini ca, pari chi, manėanu lu munnu
A stari ccā pari chi, m'avvampa la sirinitā
Omini ca, pari chi s'ammėscanu all'erba
Animi ca pari chi, s'ammucciunu all'aria
Arbuli ca pari chi, manianu lu munnu
A stari cca pari chi, li dei semu l'omini

Omini ca, pari chi, manėanu lu munnu
A stari ccā pari chi, m'avvampa la sirinitā
Omini ca, pari chi s'ammėscanu all'erba
Animi ca pari chi, s'ammucciunu all'aria
Pindaro dirà: semu fatti di crita e mari, semu l'omini.
