RICORDO


Role : Composer

Music by Alexander Leeming Froudakis
Vocals & Lyrics by Manuela Lubrano
Film & Edit by Enzo Lubrano

“Ricordo” featuring Manuela Lubrano, is a quiet reflection on the need for peace during uncertain times. With only piano and voice, it creates space to pause and consider. The piece speaks to the loss of home, land, and peace — its lyrics drawn from the ruins of a memory: of skies once serene, and places now reduced to concrete and sea. Yet in its stillness, Ricordo holds onto the hope that listening can lead to change.

LYRICS

English Translation: I have this memory of a distant past, A blue, clear, serene sky. I have this memory but I cannot see it, I will never be able to see it again. Of these houses, only concrete remains. (Stop and listen) Of these lands, only the sea remains (Stop and listen to me.) What else do you want? There is nothing left.

Italian: Io ho questo ricordo di un passato lontano, Un cielo blu, chiaro, sereno. Ho questo ricordo che io non vedo, non vedrò mai più. Di queste case, ne è rimasto solo cemento. Fermati e ascolta Di queste terre, ne è rimasto solo il mare Fermati e ascoltami. Cos’altro tu vuoi voler? Non c’è più niente.
