(Cantano: Luca Bonaffini, Ermanno Zanfi, Pierangelo Bertoli)
(Testo e musica di Pierangelo Bertoli)
La grande stella stava attenta in cielo
Guardava gli uomini del mondo intero
E sulla rotta non mandava luce
Era li' ferma nell'immensa pace
E tutto stava li' da un tempo eterno, senza inferno.
A noi dispersi disegnava un porto
Ed era notte sopra un mare perso
Navigavamo oltre Gibilterra
Cercando un angolo su questa terra
Una speranza, forse solo un sogno, un bisogno
Quando l'ancora la corsa fermera'
Una nuova conoscenza sboccerà
Il capitano stava ritto a propra
E aveva un tuono chiuso nella gola
Il desiderio di poter urlare
Gridare "Terra! e' finito il mare..."
Per fare a nuoto l'ultima barriera da varcare
Ma nella stiva c'era tanto posto
E ad imbottirla il fine ad ogni costo
Non vedevamo il sangue sul cammino
Ma volevamo uccidere il destino
Con l'illusione di poter barare per contare
Quando l'ancora la corsa fermera'
Una nuova conoscenza sboccera'
E giunse terra come un grande dono
E giunse gente priva del perdono
Facemmo loro croci di speranza
Ma regalammo un lutto in ogni stanza
Lasciammo chiese in cambio di un tesoro tutto d'oro
Tornammo a bordo sulla vecchia traccia
La delusione ci segno' la faccia
Sedemmo stanchi insieme al capitano
E sulla tolda stava il cappellano
Le gole gonfie fino a farci male nel cantare
Quando l'ancora la corsa fermera'
Una nuova conoscenza sboccera'
