Eppur Si Muove
Haggard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aside the warning sorrows
To release my darkened mind
And the ones who've pathed my way to thee
[With] a light that blinds the blind
God end this suffering
My blood and tears that flow for you my king

My Son, beware
Of all that your eyes cannot see
Trust your mind
And strengthen your abilities

Did you ever touch the starlight?
Dream for a thousand years?
Have you ever seen the beauty
Of a newborn century?

And now's the time to enter
A new way, things to see
Man is just a weak reflection
In evolution's history

And in your hour of darkness
It will guide your way:

La bellezza del paese di Galilei

E nella mia ora più buia
loro splenderanno per me
all'infinito

Aside the warning sorrows
To release my darkened mind
And the ones who've pathed my way to thee
[With] a light that blinds the blind
God end this suffering
My blood and tears that flow for you my king

Geboren im flackernden Kerzenschein
Verfasst in dunkler Zeit
Ein altes Stück von Pergament
Sich mit der Feder vereint

Der Zeichnung seines Arms entspringt
Der Universen Zelt
Es ist der Zeiten Anbeginn
Und ändert diese Welt

Des Universums Zelt

Nato al lume guizzante della candela
Scritto in tempi oscuri
Sulla vecchia pergamena
Scorre la penna
E dal suo braccio nasce
Il disegno delle volte celesti
È l'inizio dei tempi
E cambierà il mondo

My son, take care
Of all what the cross wants you to be
Trust your eyes
And strenghten your abilities

Did you ever touch the starlight?
Dream for a thousand years?
Have you ever seen the beauty
Of a newborn century?

And time has come to doubt
About the holy verse
It is just a weak reflection
In our endless universe

And in your hour of darkness
The beauty guides your way:

La bellezza del paese di Galilei

E nella mia ora più buia
loro splenderanno
spenderanno per me
all'infinito

Overall Meaning

Haggard's song "Eppur Si Muove" is a haunting, introspective and philosophical piece that delves into the ideas of faith, doubt and self-discovery. The lyrics begin with the singer pleading for release from their "warning sorrows" and "darkened mind," while thanking those who have guided them to a higher power with "a light that blinds the blind." The singer then asks their king, presumably God, to end their suffering, expressing their devotion through the metaphorical blood and tears they shed for Him. A message of caution is then conveyed as the singer tells their son to beware of what they cannot see, and to trust their own mind and abilities. The song ends with repeated references to the "beauty of Galilei's country" or La Bellezza del Paese di Galilei, which serves as a source of comfort and guidance in times of darkness.


The lyrics are full of rich references to historical and philosophical ideas, with Galileo Galilei's country symbolizing reason, science and progress as opposed to the purely religious interpretations of the world that the singer is trying to escape from. The song questions the validity of dogmatic beliefs and encourages self-exploration and independent thinking. It also asks if the listener has ever experienced the wonder of the universe, dreams or new beginnings.

err...
Is there an acoustic version without the asmathics pigs ?

Your metal is boring, common, and quite bad. Not lame, but... yes, quite lame.
Your classic is really really great. Common, and so, but classical music was very "convenue", so, it really fits in. Great female voice.

apocalyptica does some really good classical/metal mix.
this is... like a sparrow and thuna meat pie. I love eating thuna, i love watchin sparrows, but i will not spend time looking a sparrow blowing a thuna, or eat a sparrow and thuna meat pie.

I'm sad... love the lyrics

@antaikraist rlly ? it should be annoying to be so childish.
People don't like everything you like.
But they can like something close to what you like.

This is not YOUR music.

Childs are always so proud of their stars they always forgot it's not a part of em.

No fifference between you and a small gril crying because i don't like the snow queen.

Masterpiece. Haggard is all about quality ❤ and their music speaks to my heart. Most of the music in our society is instead very shallow and very poor in quality. Sadly is all about quantity...and money.

Strong song, sick soprano, great melodies. Great songwriting.
