Condividi:

Dietro ogni mia notte,

Dentro il suo buio,

C’è Lei,

Viva e Misteriosa,

Come l’energia che anima il mio cuore ancora di ragazzino,

C’è Lei in tutti i miei sogni,

In tutte le mie conquiste,

Nelle mie sconfitte,

Nella musica,

Nei desideri più intimi.

Tutto mi riconduce a Lei,

Come se fosse il seno della Donna che amo,

E le mani e le labbra

Fossero radici che cercano la vita e affondano nell’umida terra,

Per trovare sollievo e nutrimento,

Un ponte nel presente,

Per traghettare la mia Anima tra Passato e, forse, un Futuro.

Anybody Seen My Baby – Rolling Stones

 

“Anybody Seen My Baby”

 

She confessed her love to me
Then she vanished on the breeze
Trying to hold on to that was just impossible

She was more than beautiful
Closer to ethereal
With a kind of down to earth flavor

Close my eyes
It’s three in the afternoon
Then I realize
That she’s really gone for good

Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
Love has gone and made me blind
I’ve looked but I just can’t find
She has gotten lost in the crowd

And I was flippin’ magazines
In that place on Mercer street
When I thought I spotted her

And getting on a motor bike
Looking really lady like
Didn’t she just give me a wave?

Salty tears
It’s three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Has she really gone for good

Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around

Oh yeah that’s what I’m sayin’
We came to rock for Brooklyn
And Queens and Long Island
And all over the world
We came to rock for everybody like this

Anybody seen my baby (anybody, anybody seen my baby)
Anybody seen her, anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out, I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around

anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around (lost, lost and never found)
(Oh yeah) I must have called her a thousand times
Oh, sometimes I think she’s just in my imagination

Condividi:

Un altro tramonto

Diverso dagli altri,

Come i giorni che cadono,

Fogli privi di vita

Che son staccati dal vento, dal Tempo.

E in questi giorni andati

Mi accorgo dei segni vivi incisi nei miei occhi,

Dell’Amore perduto, dei baci non dati,

Degli abbracci che restano vivi soltanto tra i ricordi.

E allora la mia malinconia

Assomiglia all’addio del giorno,

Al saluto degli amanti l’attimo prima della partenza,

Quando l’ennesimo tramonto

Giunge e li  separa, portandoli via con se.

Even better than the real thing – U2

“Even better than the real thing”

Give me one more chance
And you’ll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won’t be denied

Well my heart is where it’s always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight

You’re the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing

Give me one last chance
And I’m gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring

You’re honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
We’ll slide down the surface of things

You’re the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing

We’re free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won’t melt our wings tonight

Oh now
Here she comes

Take me higher
Take me higher
You take me higher?
You take me higher?

You’re the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You’re the real thing

Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
