Prima Lettera a Babbo Natale....

Caro Babbo Natale....

per la notte di Natale prova a riscaldare tutte quelle persone che in questo momento non hanno

nè i mezzi nè la possibilità di farlo....

fatto questo,.....

se la cosa non ti affatica troppo....

prova a regalare anche un lavoro a tutte quelle persone che lo cercano disperatamente e non lo trovano....

se poi non chiedo troppo....

caro Babbo Natale......distribuisci a piene mani un bel po' di "calore umano" che in questo momento sembra essere in via di estinzione.......

When I Go

Brett Dennen

Hold this heart when I go

sing my song when I go

sing it loud when I go

sing it proud when I go

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly

but I know they'd all be yearning to fly

when my, when my, when my soul

takes leave of this world

when I leave this flesh and these bones

oh I swear to you that you wont have to go alone

hold this heart when I go

sing my song when I go

sing it loud when I go

sing it proud when I go

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly

but i know they'd all be yearning to fly

the first time my heart collided with yours

I know I felt the ocean tickle the Earth's sandy shores

but changes come and we all know that we can't, we can't stop them

but I hold these memories and I will never drop them

and I'll watch over you

I'll watch over you

oh my care will cover you just like the morning dew

I'll watch over you

I'll watch over you

oh my care will cover you just like the morning dew

hold this heart when I go

sing my song when I go

sing it loud when I go

sing it proud when I go

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly

but i know they'd all be yearning to fly

oh the thought of death has yet to make me afraid

'cause I will march right off this world into the next like it's a grand parade

but if you feel lonely just like you want to run and hide

then I'll wrap my wings around you and give you strength and I wont leave your side

and I'll watch over you

I'll watch over you

oh, my care will cover you just like the moon'll do

I'll watch over you

I'll watch over you

you know I'd love to get to heaven

you know I'd love to see the view

but first I think I'll stay and watch over you

oh, I'll watch over you

I'll watch over you

You know it's hard....

to be yourself,

free yourself, to see yourself

When all around you there are lies just to get you,

Spies just to get you, to buy so they can get you....

Brett Dennen's 'Crazy' Jam

You know it's hard to be yourself,

free yourself, to see yourself

When all around you there are lies just to get you,

Spies just to get you, to buy so they can get you

There are cameras in the sky, lasers in our living rooms

There are wolves watching wearing sheep's costumes

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

It's enough to make you mad

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

And I'm amazed I haven't yet

Isn't it a shame the way we cheat each other, treat each other,

beat each other?

It's a shame the way we use one other, abuse one another,

and screw one another, it's true.

They will lock you up in prison but they won't call it slavery

There are stolen children raised and trained in armies

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

It's enough to make you mad

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

And I'm amazed I haven't yet

Don't hesitate to speak your mind (Speak your mind)

Never hesitate to speak your heart (Speak your heart)

They'll call you crazy when you speak your mind (When you speak your mind)

So never, never hesitate (Never hesitate)

‘Cause it's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

It's enough to make you mad

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

And I'm amazed I haven't yet

Na sol them go lock you for prison

Na sol them go beat you for prison

Them no call it slavery

it's him that make me vex

Na sol them go lock you for prison

Na sol them go beat you for prison

it's him that make me vex

ot's him that make me craze

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

It's enough to make you mad

It's enough to make you go crazy (Woah)

And I'd be crazy not to care

Heaven

Brett Dennen 

Beyond the rules of religion

The cloth of conviction

Above all the competition

Where fact and fiction meet

There`s no color lines or casts or classes

There is no fooling the masses

Whatever faith you practice

Whatever you believe

Heaven. heaven.

What the hell is heaven?

Is there a home for the homeless?

Is there hope for the hopeless?

Throw away your myth misconceptions

There ain`t no walls around heaven

There are no codes you gotta know to get in

No minutemen or border patrol

You must lose all earthly possession

Leave behind your weapon

You cannot buy your salvation

There is no pot of gold

Heaven ain`t got no prisons

No government no business

No banks or politicians

No armies and no police

Castles and cathedrals crumble

Pyramids and pipelines tumble

The failure keeps you humble

Leads us closer to peace

 Traduzione (Irene)

Oltre le regole della religione
l'abito della convinzione
Al di là di tutte le competizioni
dove realtà e finzione si incontrano

Non c'è nessuna linea colorata o cast o classe
non c'è nessun inganno delle masse
qualsiasi fede tu pratichi
qualsiasi cosa tu creda

Paradiso, Paradiso
Come il cielo è Paradiso?
C'è là una casa per i senza tetto?
C'è là speranza per i disperati?

Getta via i tuoi miti sbagliati
non ci sono mura attorno al Paradiso
non ci sono codici da sapere per entrare
nessun cronometrista o pattuglia di confine

Devi liberarti di tutti i beni terreni
lascia alle spalle le tue armi
Non puoi comprare la tua salvezza
Non c'è nessuna pentola d'oro
 
Il Paradiso non ha prigioni
nessun governo, nessun affare
nessuna banca o politici
Nessun esercito e nessuna polizia

Castelli e cattedrali crollano
Piramidi e gasdotti cadono
il fallimento ti rende umile
ci porta più vicino alla pace

just like the moon...

Just Like The Moon

Brett Dennen

I believe that you were born

during an eclipse

and the stars named you moon child

then you come, you rise in to my sky

you stepped in front of my sun and it makes my whole world dark

and you light up the night

just like the moon

just like the moon you light up the night

and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

laid back and I'm restless in the daytime

and I'm chased by these shadows oh thats haunting me

and then you come with nighttimes woolly blanket

and you wrap me like a child who's been in the rain too long

and you light up the night

just like the moon

just like the moon you light up the night

and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

oh I've chased the moon, ya know I've tried

and each time I've tried, each time I've failed

and each time I get so down on myself

and I can't stand this pace of a snail

while the rest of the world pales all the night

ya know I

know that I can probably never be the same

'cause you light up the night

just like the moon

just like the moon you light up the night

and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

and in the night

I can feel your lovelight shining bright

falling down on me like autumn leaves

tell me how am i supposed to fall asleep

and in the night

I can feel your lovelight shining bright

falling down on me like autumn leaves

tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep

Tesoro....

Non temere....


Brett Dennen - Darling Do Not Fear






When I arrived in my own set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Alongside my innocence I laid in bed awake
Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age
But like a phantom she crept across the floor and out the window
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
From its place on the mantle my heart and was taken down
scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
And out below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'cause it won't last - the worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
The confidence is faultless your faith etched in stone
and neither could comfort you from the wild unknown
So bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul
Find something to hold on to or to let go
to help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
'cause it won't last - your worries will pass
All your troubles they don't stand a chance
and it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky
Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines
Sometimes all that you can do is say no
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said, when I arrived in my own set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
and I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
I said, Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know
We said, Darlin' do not fear

Brett Dennen - Desert Sunrise

Brett Dennen - Desert Sunrise






a desert sunrise, you warm my soul
painting me in shades of clay
covering me whole
and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet
so sweet you are
if I could only have a taste
wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you
just because you are, so beautiful

and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
and I know darling
I could be so good to you

I see you rising
on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke, you spoke through the mist of the mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
and we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will

desert sunset, a lullaby
if I could give it all to you
if you'd only let me try
sing so sweetly, it's my only wish
music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss
summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist

and I’ve been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don’t want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
I know darling
I could be so good to you

I see you rising, on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I’m coasting on your rays
when I awoke and you spoke through the mist of a mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
we’ll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will

desert moonrise, into the night
before we lay our heads
I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight
sing so sweetly, it’s the sweetest sound
and I’ve become weak in the knees
and I drop down and kiss the ground
and all my cares lie far below
in this earth I wish to die
in this hearth my fire grows

"There is So Much More" Brett Dennen

"There is So Much More" Brett Dennen





When I heard the news,
my heart fell on the floor.
I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore.
In these troubled times it's hard enough as it is.
My soul has a known a better life than this.

I wonder how so many can be in so much pain,
while others don't seem to feel a thing.
Then I curse my whiteness
and I get so damn depressed.
In a world of suffering,
why should I be so blessed?

I heard about a women who lives in Colorado.
She built a monoment of sorts behind the garage door,
where everyday she prays for all whom are born
and all whose souls have passed on.
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick,
I can't see how I'm gonna get through it.
But, then I'd rather be stuck up in a tree
then be tied to it.

There is so much more.

I don't feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit.
I cant get used to my bodys limits.
I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues.
They cost a lot of money but they aren't worth a thing.
I wanna free my feet from the broken glass and concrete.
I need to get out of this city.
Lay apon the ground stare a hole in the sky,
wondering where I go when I die.
...When I die.


Traduzione (Irene)

Quando ascolto le notizie,
il mio cuore cade sul pavimento.
Ero sull'aereoplano in viaggio per Baltimora.
In questi problematici giorni è abbastanza difficile.
La mia anima ha la consapevolezza di una vita migliore di questa.

Mi domando come così tante persone possono essere in una così grande sofferenza,
mentre altri non sembrano provare niente.
Poi io maledico il mio pallore
e divento così maledettamente avvilito.
In un mondo di sofferenza
perchè dovrei essere così fortunato?

Io sentìi di una donna che vive in Colorado
Lei costruì una sorta di monumento dietro la porta del garage
dove ogni giorno lei prega per tutti quelli che sono nati
e per tutti quelli le cui anime sono passate oltre.
Qualche volta le mie ansie diventano così spesse,
che io non so come possa superarle.
Ma, poi preferirei stare sopra un albero
piuttosto che essere legato ad esso.

C'è molto di più.

Io non mi sento a mio agio con gli abiti che indosso.
Non posso abituarmi ai limiti del mio corpo.
ho qualche scarpa divertente per risolvere e calciare via questa tristezza.
costano un sacco di soldi ma non sono male.
Voglio liberare i miei piedi dai vetri rotti e cemento.
Ho bisogno di uscire da questa città.
Giacere sopra la terra fissando una breccia nel cielo,
domandandomi dove vado quando muoio.
...quando muoio.

Teneramente tenere...

"Come Tenderness" Lisa Gerrard






"Blessed" Brett Dennen




I welcome the sun,
the clouds and rain,
the wind that sweeps the sky clean
and lets the sun shine again.
this is the most magnificent life has ever been.
here is heaven and earth
and the brilliant sky in between.

blessed is this life
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive.
blessed is this life
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive

I dwell in the darkness
I let in the light
I sleep in the afternoon
and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation
suffered in sacrifice
but I awake each day with a new sunrise

blessed is this life, oh
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
blessed is this life, oh
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
