An Italian song about our core

[Erec]

I imagine few people here understand Italian, but I would like to suggest a song by a Sicilian songwriter, Franco Battiato, performed in this case by Alice, a singer who is a friend of his. Battiato was an unusual figure in Italian music: he started out with progressive rock and then, after an existential crisis, became very interested in Orthodox Christianity, Sufism, and Eastern philosophy. I tried to have the text translated by Google Gemini, I hope it is understandable. It seems to touch on important points, such as the masks we wear in life and moments of despair:

We have weathered so many storms
And so many ancient and harsh trials
And a clear help from an invisible caress
Of a guardian

Worthy is the life of one who is awake (or: vigilant)
But even more so of one who becomes wise
And then reunites with His joy
Praise be, Praise to the Unviolated
Praise to the Unviolated

And how many useless characters I have worn (or: put on)
I, and my self, how many have endured
Arid is *
Barren is its path

How many miracles, designs, and inspirations
And then the suffering that makes you blind
In the falls there is the reason for His absence (or: the reason why He is absent)
The clouds cannot annihilate the Sun

And he knew it well... Paganini
That the devil is left-handed, and subtle
And plays the violin
