[Intro Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
I am Francesco Melzi, young and keen,
at Leonardo’s shoulder, ink-stained, unseen.
He turns to Ginevra, pale and proud,
and breaks the old pose like a gathered cloud.

Her gaze goes sideways, not straight ahead,
and all the old portraits lose their thread.
First of his marvels, subtle and bold,
a new way of seeing, poised and controlled.

[Pre-Chorus]
I watched his hand refine the air,
each line a vow, each glance laid bare.
From rule to wonder, he would sway,
and teach the face to turn away.

[Chorus] [Italian]
Uomo Rinascimentale, tuo nome risplende [Renaissance Man, your name shines bright]
Uomo Rinascimentale, il mondo si arrende [Renaissance Man, the world yields to you]
Leonardo, mio maestro, oh che meraviglia [Leonardo, my master, oh what a marvel]
Leonardo, mio maestro, tutta la famiglia [Leonardo, my master, the whole family]

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Then came the man in circle and square,
arms outstretched in measured prayer.
Vitruvius spoke through charcoal grain,
where math and mercy meet in one frame.

The body stood where no shape should agree,
yet there it was, both law and mystery.
Circle and square, irreconcilable still,
and art embraced what thought could not fill.

[Pre-Chorus]
He made the human form take flight,
with number, wonder, and the light.
Philosophy in every line,
a Roman dream made modern sign.

[Break]

[Bridge]
And then the woman, modestly dressed,
thin veil at her brow, in somber rest.
No jewels, no splendor, nothing to flaunt,
yet every great eye grows hushed in want.

Her face is softly fashioned with shade,
sfumato breathing where edges fade.
The veil is delicate, the tresses wrought,
each fold of cloth with patience caught.
Her smile is a riddle, tender and strange,
it may be blessing, it may be change.
Mocking or welcoming, who can say?
She lives in both, and slips away.

[Instrumental]

[Final Chorus] [Italian]
Uomo Rinascimentale, tuo nome risplende [Renaissance Man, your name shines bright]
Uomo Rinascimentale, il mondo si arrende [Renaissance Man, the world yields to you]
Leonardo, mio maestro, oh che meraviglia [Leonardo, my master, oh what a marvel]
Leonardo, mio maestro, tutta la famiglia [Leonardo, my master, the whole family]

[Outro]
I, Francesco, keep the ledgers bright,
for passing hands and future sight.
Let every work remain and grow,
for all the world to know and know.
Let time not steal what genius gave—
I watched him make, and I will save.

[Outro Instrumental]
