Come sono...

ignorante...megagalaticatissimamente ignorante e non credo basterà questa vita a colmare l'ignoranza, dovrò chiedere al Padre Eterno i tempi supplementari per aggiustare il tiro

Peccato non essere ...

a duck....it would be easier

....Lord,

if the river was made of whiskey an' I was a duck,

I'd just swim to the bottom an' I'd never come up....

Hesitation Blues

Janis Joplin

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime

I need a new man, Lord I know I won't mind.

Tell me how long, dear, do I have to wait ?

Can I get you now, dear, must I hesitate ?

Well now, the eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust"

You say you won't obey me, you wanna see that dollar first

How long, dear, do I have to wait ?

Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?

Lord, if the river was made of whiskey an' I was a duck,

I'd just swim to the bottom an' I'd never come up.

How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait ?

Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?

Now there's rocks down in the ocean and there's fish in the sea,

I know you mean the whole world to me.

How long, dear, must I have to wait ?

Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?

I got them Hesitation Stockings, I got them Hesitation Shoes,

Lord knows I got them Hesitation Blues.

Tell me, how long do I have to wait ?

Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?

It is better ...

to kiss a leper than to shake hands with an idiot!

Baciare i piedi mai! ....per ovvie ragioni.....

Naturally ....you understand the reason

Janis Joplin - Maybe 

Maybe

Oh if I could pray and I try, dear,

You might come back home, home to me.

Janis Joplin Tribute

Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone

A Woman....

Left Lonely

Janis Joplin

A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,

She’ll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.

A simple conversation for the new men now and again

Makes a touchy situation when a good face come into your head.

And when she gets lonely, she’s thinking ‘bout her man,

She knows he’s taking her for granted, yeah yeah,

Honey, she doesn’t understand, no no no no!

Well, the fevers of the night, they burn an unloved woman

Yeah, those red-hot flames try to push old love aside.

A woman left lonely, she’s the victim of her man, yes she is.

When he can’t keep up his own way, good Lord,

She’s got to do the best that she can, yeah!

A woman left lonely, Lord, that lonely girl,

Lord, Lord, Lord!

Una dolcissima....

Living and loving you.

There’s a way, oh everybody say

You can do anything, every thing yeah.

The way I love you babe,

And I’ve been loving you babe.

In my brain, oh I can see your face again,

Oh to love anybody.

Oh honey I wanna talk about

Trying to hold somebody when you’re lonely

The way I loved you, baby,

And I just want you to know I tried.

Oh I know that there’s a way

‘Cause everybody came to me one time and said,

“Honey, you can do anything,

Every little thing, and I think I can.

Oh, but what good, what good,

Piece......

Of My Heart

Melissa Etheridge

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!

Didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?

Honey, you know I did!

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough,

But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,

Take it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!

Oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, oh, have a!

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it if it makes you feel good,

Oh, yes indeed.

You’re out on the streets looking good,

And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right,

Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,

Babe, I cry all the time!

And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain,

But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again.

I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!

Take it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.

Oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,

Oh, oh, have a!

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Summertime..solo ninna nanna?

Miles Davis "Summertime"






Alla tromba di Miles Davis contrappongo la voce graffiante di Janis Joplin.


Janis Joplin - "Summertime" (Live Gröna Lund 1969)





Summertime
Janis Joplin


Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living's easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton's high, Lord so high.

Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's a-looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry, don't you cry.

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings, child,
And take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

But until that morning,
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya,
No, no, no no, no no, no...
Don't you cry cry.


Estate


Tempo d'estate, tempo, tempo
Bimbo, vivere é facile
i pesci stanno saltando fuori dall'acqua
e il cotone, Signore
il cotone é alto, Signore, cosi alto

Tuo padre é ricco
e tua madre é splendida, baby
lei é splendida ora
Stai calmo, baby, baby,..
No, no, non piangere
Non piangere

Una di queste mattine
tu ti alzerai, ti alzerai cantando
stenderai le tue ali
Bimbo, toccherai, toccherai il cielo
Signore, il cielo

Ma fino a quel mattino
Dolcezza, niente ti farà del male,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no,
Non piangere
Piangere
