The four stone houses form a square that is little more than a widening of the road is so narrow. On one side of a wisteria salt clinging to a small balcony that juts out toward the four players who are giving their best performance of a curent of Varaita. Sitting
the table of the old inn, go listen to the imperfect and the hurdy-gurdy organ to which they make to counter the flute and violin, while at the center of the square two men and two women perform with the popular figures of the dance steps.
From time to time the evening breeze leaves the mountains and down to fill the streets and the courtyards between the houses, while the moon peeping out from somewhere above the rooftops.
There is an old man sitting in front of the house, apparently deep in thought, and I imagine he's thinking about a night like this, when you were young and in this square, after a day of toil on the steep field, tried still find a way to talk to the girl in front, be seen that without looking at him from time to time, hoping to invite her to dance. The players change
music, attacking a Bouree and I start thinking about how beautiful this music, ancient and modern together, that seems locked in the mountains, but it suddenly flies away and then feel that speaks of Provence and Gascony, with the scent of lavender and larch, which smacks of polenta with anchovies, travel, wind, sun and sea.
the music ends, the dancers stop and the old part of the house, then I get up and go by the players, I just want to congratulate him, but we begin to talk and talk and little by little I do find out what it means to Occitan. It 's late, then a final finish bicchiere e vado anche io, mentre penso alle parole della canzone:
“Remesclas. De sang e de musica, de temps e de gents, de raives e d’ideas. L’òme que coneis sa terra a ren pòur, se mescla. E remescla. Aquò qu’aiva dran a-n-aquò qu’al a devant. Aquò que ven da luenh e aquò qu’es siu. Aquò que se pòl veire e aquò que se pantalha. Lo sonarie que vira viatgia e pòrta via, ritorna e pòrta a-n-aquò siu aquò qu’a vist e aquò qu’a escotat. Sonaire de viola. Sonaire de valada. Valadas occitanas, valadas de frontiera. Valadas de remesclas.” (Lou Dalfin)
