“When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.”
"Julia" (1968); these lines were adapted from lines of Sand and Foam (1926) by Khalil Gibran: "When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind."
Lyrics
Original: La donna complicata, pazza e audace... la donna che scolpisce il pensiero, che sa emozionare e affascinare... la donna che profuma di vita e amore: rapisce mente, anima e cuore.
