Hand Of Fate

Rolling Stones 

The hand of fate is on me now

It pick me up and knock me down

I'm on the run, I'm prison bound

The hand of fate is heavy now

I killed a man, I'm highway bound

The wheel of fortune keeps turning round

Turning round, turning round

I should have known it was a one horse town

My sweet girl was once his wife

He had papers the judge had signed

The wind blew hard, it was stormy night

He shot me once, but I shot him twice

The hand of fate is on me now

It pick me up and it kicked me right down

Kicked me right down

Kicked me right down

I had to save her life

Yeah, I gunned him twice

Yeah, and I watched him die, watch out boy

Yeah, I watched him die

He was a barroom man, the violent kind

He had no love for that gal of mine

Then one day in a drinking bout

He swore he'd throw me right of town

The hand of fate is on me now

I shot that man I put him underground

I put him underground

Yes I did

I'm on the run, I hear the hounds

My luck is up, my chips are down

So goodbye baby, so long now

Wish me luck, I'm going to need it child

The hand of fate is on me now

Yeah it's too late

Too late baby, too late now

The hand of fate is on me now

The hand of fate is heavy now

It pick you up and knock you down

 Expectations

Rolling Stones

Ho tante cose ..

da fare

troppe

supplicherò il tempo

di rallentare il passo

ma lento è l'incedere

e il passo segue l'orma.

Sweet...

Virginia

Rolling Stones

Wadin' through the waste stormy winter,

And there's not a friend to help you through.

Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs,

Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues.

Thank you for your wine, California,

Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits.

Yes I got the desert in my toenail

And I hid the speed inside my shoe.

I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia,

I want you come on, honey child, I beg of you.

I want you come on, come on down, you got it in you.

Got to scrape the shit right off you shoes.

But Come on, come on down Sweet Virginia,

Come on, honey child, I beg of you.

Come on, come on down, you got it in you.

Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes.

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia,

Come on, honey child, I beg of you.

Come on, come on down, you got it in you.

Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes.

Plundered My Soul

Rolling Stones

Plundered

My Soul

Rolling Stones

Can you believe it,

I've won no medals

In this love game.

I've been resting on my laurels,

I'm a bad loser,

I'm a yard off my pace.

I smell rubber

And I soon discover

That you're gone for good.

My indiscretions

Made a bad impression,

Guess I was misunderstood.

I thought you needed my lovin',

But it's my heart that you stole.

I thought you wanted my money,

But you plundered my soul.

(Plundered my soul)

I started askin' around,

But your friends'

Pretty lips were sealed.

I wrote a letter

Full of trite confessions

About wounds that heal.

I heard some gossip,

You'd become an alcoholic,

You were dryin' out.

So I phoned every clinic

In the Yellow Pages,

Not a trace I found.

I thought you needed my lovin',

But it's my heart that you stole.

I thought you wanted my money,

But you plundered my soul.

(Plundered my soul)

I hate quittin',

But I'm close to admittin'

I'm a sorry case.

But on quiet reflection,

My sad rejection's

Not a total disgrace.

But I do miss your quick repartee

And the smile

That lights up your face.

You'll be a hard act to follow,

A bitter pill to swallow,

You'll be tough, you'll be tough to replace.

I thought you wanted my lovin',

But it's my heart that you stole.

You were a trick up my sleeve,

My ace in the hole.

I thought you wanted my money,

But you plundered my soul.

Oh, plundered my soul

Oh yeah (plundered my soul)

You plundered my soul

Yeah, yeah (plundered my soul)

Oh, yes, yes, yes you, baby

(Plundered my soul)

Quando Ruby...

era il titolo di una canzone dei Rolling Stones...

Traduzione inglese - italiano

Ruby = rubino, rosso cupo, tingere di rosso, vermiglio, bitorzolo rosso sul naso....

...She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes....

Ruby Tuesday 

Rolling Stones

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Happy

Rolling Stones

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,

It always burned a hole in my pants.

Never made a school mama happy,

Never blew a second chance, oh no

I need a love to keep me happy,

I need a love to keep me happy.

Baby, baby keep me happy.

Baby, baby keep me happy.

Always took candy from strangers,

Didn't wanna get me no trade.

Never want to be like papa,

Working for the boss ev'ry night and day.

I need a love to keep me happy,

I need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy.

Baby, won't ya keep me happy.

Baby, please keep me

I need a love to keep me happy,

I need a love to keep me happy.

Baby, baby keep me happy.

Baby, baby keep me happy.

Never got a flash out of cocktails,

When I got some flesh off the bone.

Never got a lift out of Lear jets,

When I can fly way back home.

I need a love to keep me happy,

I need a love to keep me happy.

Baby, baby keep me happy.

Baby, baby keep me happy.

Take me down...

little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave......

Dead Flowers
Rolling Stones

Well, when you're sitting there

In your silk upholstered chair

Talking to some rich folks that you know

Well I hope you won't see me

In my ragged company

You know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well, when you're sitting back

In your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

I'll be in my basement room

With a needle and a spoon

And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the US mail

Say it with dead flowers at my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

No I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Gimme...

Shelter

Rolling Stones

Oh, a storm is threat'ning

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'

Our very street today

Burns like a red coal carpet

Mad bull lost your way

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

The floods is threat'ning

My very life today

Gimme, gimme shelter

Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away, kiss away

The Nearness....

 Of You

Rolling Stones

It's not the pale moon that excites me

That thrills and delights me,

Oh no

It's just the nearness of you

It isn’t your sweet conversation

That brings this sensation,

Oh no

It's just the nearness of you

When I’m in your arms

And I feel you so close to me

All my wildest dreams

Came true

It's just the nearness of you

I need no soft lights to enchant me

If you’ll only grant me

The right

To hold you ever so tight

And to feel in the night

The nearness of you.

The nearness of you.

To feel the nearness of you

Baby, sweet things.....

 that you promised me babe

Seemed to go up in smoke

Yeah, vanish like a dream

I wonder why you do these things to me.....

Worried About You

Rolling Stones

Sometime I wonder why you do these things to me

Sometime I worry girl that you ain't in love with me

Sometime I stay out late, yeah I'm having fun

Yes, I guess you know by now you ain't the only one

Baby, sweet things that you promised me babe

Seemed to go up in smoke

Yeah, vanish like a dream

I wonder why you do these things to me

Cause I'm worried

I just can't seem to find my way, baby

Ooh, the nights I spent just waiting on the sun

Just like your burned out cigarette

You threw away my love

Why did you do that baby

I wonder why, why you do these things to me

I'm worried

Lord, I'll find out anyway

Sure going to find myself a girl someday

Till then I'm worried

Yeah, I just can't seem to find my way

Yeah, I'm a hard working man

When did I ever do you wrong?

Yeah, I get all my money baby

Bring it, bring it all home

Yeah, I'm telling the truth

Sweet things, sweet things that you promised me

Well I'm worried, I just can't seem to find my way, baby

I'm worried about you

I'm worried about you

Tell you something now

Worried 'bout you, child

Worried 'bout you, woman

Yeah, I'm worried

Lord, I'll find out anyway

Sure as Hell I'm going to find that girl someday

Till then I'm worried

Lord, I just can't seem to find my way

Worried About You

Rolling Stones

Far......

 away eyes

Rolling Stones 

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station

And the preacher said, "You know you always have the

Lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran

Twenty red lights in his honor

Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late

And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off

She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find

Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner

A little bleary, worse for wear and tear

Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck

And you can't harmonize

Find a girl with far away eyes

And if you're downright disgusted

And life ain't worth a dime

Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do wassend

Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus

Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California

And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio

And all my dreams would come true

So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl

Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you're down on your luck

I know you all sympathize

Find a girl with far away eyes

And if you're downright disgusted

And life ain't worth a dime

Get a girl with far away eyes

We love to play the blues

MONKEY MAN

ROLLING STONES

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey

All my friends are junkies

That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza

I could use a lemon squeezer

What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around

By every she-rat in this town

Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man

I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar

I was gouged and I was gored

But I pulled on through

Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs

I always have an unmade bed

Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic

Or a trifle too satanic

We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man

I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

I'm a monkey

I'm a monkey

I'm a monkey man

I'm a monkey man

I'm a monkey...
