Italian to english song translation?

Could someone who knows Italian translate this song for me? thanks.

Song:

"Voglio vederti danzare

come le zingare del deserto

con candelabri in testa

o come le balinesi nei giorni di festa.

Voglio vederti danzare

come i Dervisches Tourners

che girano sulle spine dorsali

o al suono di cavigliere del Katakali.

E gira tutt'intorno la stanza

mentre si danza, danza

e gira tutt'intorno la stanza

mentre si danza.

E Radio Tirana trasmette

musiche balcaniche, mentre

danzatori bulgari

a piedi nudi sui braceri ardenti."Italian to english song translation?

What is the title of this song?!? My cousin in Spain just recently played it and I am obsessed with it. Much love to Italy for providing this gem. Paisanos!

Here's what Babelfish turns up:



"I want vederti to dance

like zingare of the desert

with candelabri overhead

or like the balinesi in the festivity days.

I want vederti to dance

like the Dervisches Tourners

that they turn on the thorns ridges

or to the sound of cavigliere of the Katakali.

And it turns tutt' around the room

while one dances, it dances

and it turns tutt' around the room

while one dances.

And Tirana Radius transmits Balkan musics,

while Bulgarian dancers

on foot knots on the burning braceri."



Let's see how a little common sense further works this out:



"I want to see you dance

like zingare of the desert

with chandeliers overhead

or like the balinesi in the festivity days.

I want to see you dance

like the Dervisches Tourners

that turn on the thorn's ridges

or to the sound of cavigliere of the Katakali.

And it turns all around the room

while one dances, it dances

and it turns all around the room

while one dances.

And Tirana Radius transmits Balkan musics,

while Bulgarian dancers

on foot knots on the burning braceri."





That's about it out of me. Good luck on the correct translation!
"See the beautiful dancers,

Come, let's sing of the deserts

And the candelabra of the testaments.

O come, my Balinese dancer of the festival day.



See the beautiful dancers.

Come, I turn like the Dervishes,

I gyrate on my spine, on my back,

Like the performers of Kathakali*



I gyrate and intone

The mantra : dance, dance.

I gyrate and intone

The mantra : dance, dance.



And Radio Tirana** transmits

The music of the Balkans, the mantra:

Dance the Bulgarian dance,

Ardently, on naked feet."





*Kathakali is a traditional dance from southern India.

** Tirana is a city in the former Albania, in the Balkans.Italian to english song translation?
Wonderful question! I am just curios... why somebody who is not italian knows this beautiful song by Franco Battiato? That's quite weird... Please tell me! I'm proud you know this song! :-)

But in the question you forgot a piece of song! It makes more sense if you read all of it.

Anyway, good job Chris.
Voligo to see you dance

Like the gypsy of the unhabited one

With candelabra in head

or like the balinesei





.....This is only part of the song sorry
