Teach me your language I teach you mine

Talking about "lucciole" reminded me of a very popular italian song from the 60s...the author, Gino Paoli, has always confessed that he wrote that song for a pro he had fallen in love with at that time...it's a beautiful song, with sweet music and romantic lyrics. Here they are, with my translation ;)


Gino Paoli - "Il cielo in una stanza"

Quando sei qui con me
questa stanza non ha più pareti
ma alberi, alberi infiniti
quando sei qui vicino a me
questo soffitto viola no, non esiste più
Io vedo il cielo sopra noi che restiamo qui
abbandonati come se non ci fosse più
niente, più niente al mondo.
Suona un'armonica
mi sembra un organo
che vibra per te e per me
su nell'immensità del cielo.
Per te e per me
nel cielo




The sky inside a room

When you're here with me
this room hasn't got walls anymore
but trees, infinite trees
when you're here, close to me
this purple ceiling doesn't exist anymore
I see the sky above us, laying down here
abandoned as if there wasn't anything else,
anything else in the world
a harp plays, it seems to me like an organ
vibrating for you and for me up in the infinite sky
for you and for me
in the sky

I leave this thread for a day and you start talking about lighthouses and lucciolas!! :judge: :rofl:
 
:lol: In Czech we say "Kdo dřív přijde, ten dřív žere"... it's colloquial, not literary at all... and it means "Who comes early devours early" :lol:

...my translations services are so bad :huh:

You know, stersie, depression disappeared and dirty thinking is back! :brows::shifty:

:rofl:
 
Posting avys (in the Avatar Library thread) based on the subtheme "free spirits" reminded me of another italian song I really like. ^_^ :p
It's quite rare for me to appreciate music made after the 70s :lol: but this song brings to my memory nice souvenirs of my youth... ;) oh, and I like the music too, a bit "western-movie-like"; if the lyrics seem to you a bit difficult to understand, maybe this time it's not my translation to be blamed :p ...as a matter of fact, complicated and cryptical lyrics used to be a trademark of this band ;)

Here's the cover of the single... :lol:



(adambamedien.de)

And here's the lyrics, with my translation ;)


Litfiba - Spirito

Quando mi sveglio cerco i miei sogni
non li ritrovo più; non apro gli occhi
per chiamarti indietro e rivedere la mia fantasia.
Spirito libero sto contento quando mi parli dentro
libero spirito sto contento quando mi balli dentro
Il mondo è storto, aspetta in coda appeso a un semaforo
provo a smontarlo con un sorriso, è il solo gioco che so
il mondo è un cannibale
Spirito libero sto contento quando mi parli dentro
libero spirito sto contento quando mi balli dentro
Sei la scintilla che scatena l'intensità
fratello libero sei il genio della lampada
cambia la rabbia dal mio corpo quando ci sei
e ogni problema è un labirinto fantastico
spirito
spirito
Il mondo è storto, gioca col morto e ruba la fantasia
provo a smontarlo con un sorriso, è il solo gioco che so
il mondo è un cannibale
Spirito libero sto contento quando mi parli dentro
libero spirito sto contento quando mi balli dentro
Sei la scintilla che scatena l'intensità
fratello libero sei il genio della lampada
cambia la rabbia dal mio corpo quando ci sei
e ogni problema è un labirinto fantastico
spirito
è il solo gioco che so
è il solo gioco che so
solo gioco che so
solo gioco che so
f**tuto gioco che so
solo gioco che so
Spirito...libero
Spirito...libero!




Spirit

When I wake up I look for my dreams, can't find 'em anymore
I don't open my eyes so I'll call you back and meet my fantasy again
Free spirit I'm happy when you talk inside of me
free spirit I'm happy when you dance in me
The world is weird, waiting on a queue, hung up at a traffic light
I try defeating it with a smile, that's the only game I know
the world is a cannibal
Free spirit I'm happy when you talk inside of me
free spirit I'm happy when you dance in me
You're the sparkle boosting up the intensity
free brother, you're the genius of the lamp
the rage from my body changes when you're here
and every problem is a fantasy labyrinth
The world is weird, playing with the dead, stealing the fantasy
I try defeating it with a smile, that's the only game I know
the world is a cannibal
Free spirit I'm happy when you talk inside of me
free spirit I'm happy when you dance in me
You're the sparkle boosting up the intensity
free brother, you're the genius of the lamp
the rage from my body changes when you're here
and every problem is a fantasy labyrinth
Spirit...
that's the only game I know
free spirit
that's the only game I know
that's the only game I know
the only game I know
the only game I know
only f**kin' game I know
free...spirit
free...spirit!
