Beautiful!

I am not a composer, but if I were one, I would have wanted to compose Flowers, butterflies freedom because that is what I would have called it.

Here is the text. Between the lines, the subtle dedication that I think suggests Frank. Refined like his music, well done!

When evening comes, the night turns black
And with the darkness we wake up.
Do not be afraid in the dark night
If we dance while flying.

Mambo, of the bats,
We are those with blood rushing to our heads
The ones with a point of view
That's weird,

We are like umbrellas
Black umbrellas, closed, hanging from the ceiling.
Paws in the air, head down below.

Try it a little too, try it!
Legs in the air, head down, come on, try!
Try it a little too, try it!
Try to change your straight point of view.

Mambo, of the bats
We are beautiful, always very elegant,
Black, and then we even put on gloves,
When we dance the mambo
Moving slow steps against the ceiling

careful not to end up below.

Try it a little too, try it!
Legs in the air, head down, come on, try!
Try it a little too, try it!
Try to change your straight point of view.

And so you will understand, that deep down
You are not the only one, in the world
That your straight point of view is for us a point of view
That's weird.

Quite weird,
Like this mambo
That you are dancing
How weird!

Upside down we use our heads
With another point of view,
Every night we throw a party
Everyone ready to hit the dance floor.

Come on, wait a little for the night to be dark
Come here to us, dance without fear,
Up in the sky, with its trail, will rise
A full moon bringing joy.

Try it a little too, try it!
Legs in the air, head down, come on, try!
Try it a little too, try it!
Try to change your straight point of view.

And so you will understand, that deep down
You are not the only one, in the world
That your straight point of view is for us a point of view
That's weird.

Quite weird,
Like this mambo
That you are dancing,
How weird!

Even if it's dated, I only discovered it a few weeks ago. I find the lyrics especially very effective; the wordplay is very beautiful and, in fact, it is also a strange mambo

Moreover, it made me think of a former colleague (really strange, in my opinion he was missing a few screws... and I say that kindly) who, when he played billiards like me (about twenty years ago), would circle the billiard table like a shark before taking a shot - changing his point of view several times - to choose the most profitable move. In short, he never settled for the first assessment.

A Faria has precisely indicated a part of the text that I find significant

Even the weirdness of both isn't bad

First of all, I will use this "tr" heavily in one of my pieces for voice

Who knows if Michela Maria Perri sang anything else... ?
