Swing Out Sisters - Forever Blue

[1989]


Forever Blue


Nights dont come any longer
Days seem to last forever
Nothing you can do
Could bring him back to you
Forever blue

Trying hard to force a smile behind your tears
Though you try these memories wont disappear
Your hearts still beating out of time

Nights dont come any longer
Days seem to last forever
Nothing you can do
Could bring him back to you
Forever blue

Memories dont come stronger
Dreams lost and gone forever
Softly whispering
Wont bring him back to you
Forever blue

Close your eyes but you still see, though love is blind
Though you try just cant leave the past behind
Hes on your mind

Youll forget him
Like he forgot you
Nothing you could do
Could bring him back to you
Youll be forever blue

Nights dont come any longer
Days seem to last forever
Nothing you can do
Could bring him back to you
Forever blue

Memories dont come stronger
Dreams lost and gone forever
Softly whispering
Wont bring him back to you
Forever blue


 

Billie Myers - Kiss the Rain

[1997]


Kiss the Rain


Hello ...
Can you hear me
Am I getting through to you
Hello ...
Is it late there
Is there laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone
Cuz I'm
trying to explain
something's wrong
You just don't sound the same
Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Hello ...
Do you miss me
I hear you say you do
but not the way I'm missing you
What's new
How's the weather
Is it stormy where you are
You sound so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I'm left imagining
In my mind
My mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain
As you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me as for you
If you feel you can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
(Kiss the rain )
(Kiss the rain )
(Kiss the rain )
Hello ...
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me

U2 - All I want is you

 
 
[1988]

All I want is you

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it all the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You
All I want is... You
All I want is... You
All I want is... You


Tutto ciò che voglio sei tu

Dici di volere diamanti su un anello d’oro
Dici di volere che la tua storia resti taciuta

Tutte le promesse che facciamo dalla culla fino alla tomba
Quando tutto ciò che voglio sei tu

Dici che mi darai un’autostrada vuota
Un tesoro da rimirare tutte le ricchezze nella notte

Dici che mi darai occhi in un mondo di cecità
Un fiume in un periodo di siccità
Un porto nella tempesta

Tutte le promesse che facciamo
Dalla culla fino alla tomba
Quando tutto ciò che voglio sei tu

Dici di volere che il tuo amore funzioni
Per restare con me tutta la notte

Dici di volere diamanti su un anello d’oro
Che la tua storia resti taciuta
Che il tuo amore non si raffreddi

Tutte le promesse che infrangiamo
Dalla culla fino alla tomba
Quando tutto ciò che voglio sei tu

Tu
Tutto ciò che voglio sei…tu
Tutto ciò che voglio sei…tu
Tutto ciò che voglio sei…tu

U2 - Where the streets have no name


[1987]

Where the streets have no name

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you....
(It's all I can do)

The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do)


Dove le strade non hanno un nome

Voglio correre
Voglio nascondermi
Voglio abbattere i muri
Che mi tengono dentro
Voglio protendermi
E toccare la fiamma
Dove le vie non hanno nome

Voglio sentire la luce del sole sul mio viso
Vedere quella nuvola di polvere scomparire
Senza lasciare traccia
Voglio ripararmi dalla pioggia avvelenata
Dove le vie non hanno nome

Dove le vie non hanno nome
Dove le vie non hanno nome
Stiamo ancora costruendo
Poi distruggendo l'amore, distruggendo l'amore
E quando andrò là
Ci andrò insieme a te....
(E' tutto ciò che posso fare)

Le città in diluvio

Ed il nostro amore diventa ruggine
Siamo sbattuti e sospinti dal vento
Camminando a fatica nella polvere
Ti mostrerò un posto
Su di un altopiano deserto
Dove le vie non hanno nome

Dove le vie non hanno nome
Dove le vie non hanno nome
Ancora costruendo
Poi distruggendo l'amore
Distruggendo l'amore
E quando andrò là
Ci andrò insieme a te
(E' tutto ciò che posso fare)

U2 - Do you feel loved?



[1997]

Do you feel loved?


Take these hands they're good for nothing
you know these hands have never worked a day
take these boots they're going nowhere
you know these boots they don't want to stray
you got my head filled with songs
you got my shoelaces undone
take my shirt go on take it off me
you can tear it up
if you can tie me down

Do you feel loved? do you feel loved?

Take the colours of my imagination
take the scent hanging in the air
take this tangle of a conversation
and turn it into your own prayer
with my fingers as you want them
with my nails under your hide
with my teeth at your back
and my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies.

Do you feel loved? do you feel loved?

And it looks like the sun but it feels like rain
love's a bully pushing shoving
in the belly of a woman
heavy rhythm taking over
to stick together
a man and a woman
stick together
man and woman
stick together...

Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
and it looks like the sun
but it feels like rain
and there's heat in the sun to see us through the rain


Ti senti amata?


Prendi queste mani, non sono buone a nulla
Sai che queste mani non hanno lavorato un giorno
Prendi questi stivali, non vanno da nessuna parte
Lo sai, questi stivali non vogliono vagabondare
Mi hai riempito la testa di canzoni
Mi hai slacciato le scarpe
Prendi la mia camicia, avanti, toglimela
Puoi farla a pezzi
Se riesci a legarmi

Ti senti amata ? Ti senti amata ?


Prendi i colori della mia immaginazione
Prendi l’odore che c’è nell’aria
Prendi questo groviglio di conversazione
E tramutalo nella tua preghiera
Con le mie dita come le vuoi
Con le mie unghie sotto la tua pelle
Con i miei denti sulla tua schiena
E la mia lingua per dirti le più dolci bugie

Ti senti amata ? Ti senti amata ?


E sembra il sole ma si sente come pioggia

L’amore è uno spingere da toro
Nel ventre di una donna
Un ritmo duro subentra
Per incollare insieme
Un uomo e una donna
Incollare insieme
Uomo e donna
Incollare ...


Ti senti amata ?
Ti senti amata ?

E sembra il sole
Ma si sente come pioggia
E c’è calore nel sole per aiutarci a superare la pioggia

U2 - I still haven't found what I'm looking for


[1987]

I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found
what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
what I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds


Ancora non ho trovato ciò che sto cercando

Ho scalato le più alte montagne
Ho corso attraverso i campi
Solo per essere con te
Solo per essere con te

Ho corso, ho strisciato
Ho scalato le mura di questa città
Solo per essere con te
Ma ancora non ho trovato
Ciò che sto cercando
Ma ancora non ho trovato
Ciò che sto cercando

Ho baciato labbra di miele
Ho sentito la guarigione sulla punta delle dita di lei
Bruciava come il fuoco
Questo bruciante desiderio
Ho parlato con la lingua degli angeli
Ho stretto la mano ad un diavolo
Era calda nella notte
Io ero freddo come la pietra
Ma ancora non ho trovato
Ciò che sto cercando
Ma ancora non ho trovato
Ciò che sto cercando

Io ci credo nel Regno a venire
Allora tutti i colori verranno versati in uno solo
Ma sì, sto ancora correndo

U2 - With or without you


[1987]

With or without you

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait....without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

With or without you


Con o senza di te

Vedo la pietra intaccare i tuoi occhi
Vedo la spina girare nel tuo fianco
Io aspetto te

Trucco di mano e cambio di sorte
Su di un letto di spine lei mi fa aspettare
Ed io aspetto senza te

Con o senza te
Con o senza te

Attraverso la tempesta raggiungiamo la riva
Tu ce la metti tutta, ma io voglio di più
Ed io sto aspettando te

Con o senza te
Con o senza te
Non posso vivere
Con o senza te

E tu dai via te stessa
E tu dai via te stessa
E tu dai
E tu dai
E tu dai via te stessa

Le mie mani sono legate
Il mio corpo ferito, lei mi prende con
Niente da vincere e
Niente più da perdere

Con o senza te

Marco Mengoni - L’essenziale



[2013]

L'essenziale

Sostengono gli eroi
“se il gioco si fa duro,
è da giocare!”
Beati loro poi
se scambiano le offese con il bene.
Succede anche a noi
di far la guerra e ambire poi alla
pace
e nel silenzio mio
annullo ogni tuo singolo dolore.
Per apprezzare quello che
non ho saputo scegliere.
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
io compongo nuovi spazi
e desideri che
appartengono anche a te
che da sempre sei per me
l’essenziale.
Non accetteró
un altro errore di valutazione,
l’amore è in grado di
celarsi dietro amabili parole
che ho pronunciato prima che
fossero vuote e stupide.
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
io compongo nuovi spazi
e desideri che
appartengono anche a te.
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
mi allontano dagli eccessi
e dalle cattive abitudini,
torneró all’origine,
torno a te che sei per me
l’essenziale
L’amore non segue le logiche
Ti toglie il respiro e la sete.
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
io compongo nuovi spazi
e desideri che
appartengono anche a te.
Mentre il mondo cade a pezzi
mi allontano dagli eccessi
e dalle cattive abitudini,
torneró all’origine,
torno a te che sei per me
l’essenziale.

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

[1995]


 1979


Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around


TRADUZIONE 


 Ritorniamo al 1979, i ragazzi veri non hanno mai il tempo,
vivono su un filo elettrico proprio sulla strada,

tu ed io ci dovremmo vedere,
un insetto d'estate che rimbalza come un ciottolo
contro i fanali che puntano verso l'alba,
eravamo convinti che non avremmo mai visto finire tutto questo
e non me ne frega niente di togliermi questi jeans con la cerniera,
noi non immaginiamo proprio dove riposeranno le nostre ossa,
credo che diventeranno polvere,
dimenticate e staranno sotto la terra
un misto di vuoto e di noia
loro non sono sicuri di quello che abbiamo dentro di noi
la città alla morfina che sta dormendo deve scendere a vedere
che non ce ne frega di quanto siamo svegli
e che sentiamo l'energia di questo posto dalle mille colpe
e dal cemento colato, compianti e sicuri
verso luci e città nascoste,
più veloci del suono,
più forte di quanto si pensasse di dover andare, più in basso del suono della speranza
Justine non ha mai capito come stanno le cose,
stava con i tipi strani e crudeli
non si dovevano cercare scuse, ti conosco così bene da non cadere nei tuoi inganni,
così che non ci importa di toglierci questi jeans con la cerniera
e non sappiamo proprio dove riposeranno le nostre ossa,
credo che diventeranno polvere
dimenticate e staranno sotto la terra
la strada si anima con l'insistenza del rumore
mentre come vedi non c'è nessuno in giro. 



 

Electronic - Disappointed

[1992]


Disappointed





Now, my head is spinning
At the back of my mind, I think I'm winning
I was somebody falling for one who was not
Somebody tired of dreaming
Now its already dawning that this time I've got
Someone who won't leave me feeling...

Disappointed, once more
Disillusioned, encore
I think I love you, for sure
So you're not disappointing at all

Disenchanted, once more
Disillusioned, encore
I think I love you, for sure
So you're not disappointing at all

Listen, as you call my name
Just one syllable said, then spoken once again
From the sound of your voice, the promise you make
You're somebody I can believe in
Someone who won't leave me feeling...

Disappointed, once more
Disillusioned, encore
I think I love you, for sure
So you're not disappointing at all

Disenchanted, once more
Disillusioned, encore
I think I love you, for sure
So you're not disappointing at all

At the back of my head, I believe what you said
Dream...

Disappointed, once more
Disillusioned, encore
I think I love you, for sure
So you're not disappointing at all

Disenchanted, once more
Disillusioned, encore
I think I love you, for sure
So you're not disappointing at all

Disappointed...

Depeche Mode - I Feel You

[1993]


I Feel You


 I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through
Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through
Oblivion

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love



 

Ten Sharp - You

[1991]


You


 It's allright with me
As long as you
Are by my side

Talk, or just say nothing
I don't mind
Your looks never lie

I was always on the run
Finding out
What I was looking for and I
Was always insecure
Just until I found

Words often don't come easy
I never learned
To show the inside of me Oh no my baby and
You, you always patient
Dragging out
What I try to hide

I was always on the run
Finding out
What I was looking for and I
Was always insecure
Until I found, Oh oh

You
You are always on my mind
You
You're the one I'm living for
You
You're my ever lasting fire
(You're my always shining star)
(You're my always)


The night
Always a good friend
A glass of wine
And the lights down low

And you
Lying beside me
Me full of love
And filled with hope -- ope --ope

You
You are always on my mind
You
You're the one I'm living for
You
You're my ever lasting fire
(You're my always shining star)
You
You are always on my mind
You
You're the one I'm living for
You
You're my ever lasting fire
(You're my always shining star)
(You're my always)




Blur - County House

[1995]


Blur


 (So the story begins)
City dweller
Successful fella
Thought to himself:
"Oops, I've got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race
Terminally
I'm a professional cynic
But my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the century's anxiety"

Yes, it preys on him
He's getting thin
(Try the simple life)

He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats
In the country
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills
In the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm
That's the rural charm
In the country

He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, it's a century's remedy
For the faint at heart
A new start
(Try the simple life)

He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest
In the country

He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths
In the country
You should come to no harm
On the animal farm
In the country

(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)

Can't stop the rock, you can't stop the rock
Can't stop the rock, you can't stop the rock
Can't stop the rock, you can't stop the rock
Can't stop the rock, you can't stop

All through my veins
Stands steady into my heart

Because of you i'm satisfied
My love for you i can't deny
Because of you i'm satisfied

Jon Secada - Too Late Too Soon



Too Late Too Soon


Tender was the night
Took an early flight
Rushing' home tonight
Something' wasn't right
I can't believe my eyes
I know I must be dreaming.

Chorus
Did I come home too late, too son
You in his arms told me the truth
Too late, too soon.
I wish I would have known
I wouldn't have left you all alone
Temptation led you wrong
Tell me how long has this been going on
Cause I thought our love was strong
I guess I must be dreaming.

Chorus
Did I come home too late, too son
You in his arms told me the truth
Too late, too soon.

What was I supposed to do
You had to see it for yourself
Cause I thought our love was strong
I guess I must be dreaming.

Repeat Chorus

Bob Dylan /Joan Baez- A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall


[1963]


A hard rain a-gonna fall
E' una forte pioggia che cadrà

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
And where have you been 
my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side
of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled
on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been 10,000 in the mouth of a graveyard

And it's a hard, it's a hard,
it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son ?
And what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with
wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds
with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood
that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men
with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw 10,000 takers whose tongues
were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords
in the hands of young children

Chorus

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard 10,000 drummers
whose hands were a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin'
and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve,
I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet
who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown
who cried in the alley .

Chorus

Oh, who did you meet my blue-eyed son ?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man
who walked a black dog
I met a young woman
whose body was burning
I met a young girl,
she gave me a rainbow
I met one man
who was wounded in love
I met another man
who was wounded and hatred

Chorus

And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son ?
And what'll you do now my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the deepths
of the deepest black forest
Where the people are a many
nd their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison
are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley
meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face
is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly,
where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color,
where none is the number
And I'll tell and think it a
nd speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain
so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean
until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my songs
well before I start singin'

Chorus (x2)

O, dove sei stato, figlio dagli occhi blu?
E dove sei stato, 
mio caro giovane?
Sono caduto sul fianco
di dodici montagne nebbiose
Ho camminato e strisciato
su sei strade sinuose
Ho camminato in mezzo a sette tristi foreste
Ho visto dozzine di oceani morti, sono 
stato 10.000 miglia all’entrata di un cimitero

È una forte forte
Forte forte
Forte pioggia che cadrà.

O, cosa hai visto, mio figlio dagli occhi blu
E cosa hai visto, mio caro giovane?
Ho visto un neonato
con lupi selvaggi attorno a lui.
Ho visto una strada di diamanti
ma nessuno che la percorreva. Ho visto
un ramo nero insanguinato
che continuava a colare
Ho visto una camera piena di uomini
con i loro martelli insanguinati.
Ho visto una scala bianca tutta coperta d’acqua.
Ho visto 10000 oratori che avevano
tutti la lingua rotta.
Ho visto pistole e spade taglienti
in mano a giovani bambini.

Rit

E cosa hai sentito, mio figlio dagli occhi blu
E tu cosa hai sentito, mio caro giovane?
Ho sentito il rombo di un tuono che ha urlato un avvertimento.
Ho sentito il frastuono di un’onda che poteva sommergere il mondo intero.
Ho sentito 100 batteristi
le cui mani erano in fiamme
Ho sentito 10.000 sussurri
senza che qualcuno li ascoltasse.
Ho sentito una persona morire di fame,
ho sentito molti ridere.
Ho sentito la canzone di un poeta
che è morto miseramente.
Ho sentito il suono di un pagliaccio
che piangeva nel vicolo

Rit

E chi hai incontrato, mio figlio dagli occhi blu
E chi hai incontrato, mio caro giovane?
Ho incontrato un ragazzino vicino un pony morto.
Ho incontrato un uomo bianco
che portava a spasso un cane nero.
Ho incontrato una donna
il cui corpo stava bruciando.
Ho incontrato un’altra ragazza,
mi ha dato un arcobaleno.
Ho incontrato un uomo
che era stato ferito dall'amore
Ho incontrato un uomo
che era stato ferito dall'odio

Rit

O, cosa farai ora, mio figlio dagli occhi blu
E cosa farai ora, mio caro giovane?
Tornerò indietro prima che cominci a piovere.
Andrò nel cuore
della più profonda foresta nera,
dove la gente e tanta
e le loro mani sono vuote
Dove le pillole di veleno
galleggiano nell’acqua.
Dove la casa nella valle
incontra la sporca e umida prigione
E la faccia del boia
è sempre ben mascherata
Dove la fame è orribile,
dove le anime sono dimenticate,
dove nero è il colore
dove zero è il numero.
E io lo dirò e ne parlerò
e penserò e respirerò
E lo rifletterò dalle montagne
così che tutte le anime possano vederlo.
Poi starò in piedi sull’oceano
finché affonderò,
ma imparerò bene la mia canzone
prima di iniziare a cantarla.
