Smoke....

 

And Ashes

Tracy Chapman

I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk

About the trail you'd left of broken hearts

About the sea of tears too wide to cross

But a little bad press has never scared me off

So I burned a path to figure out

How to get me some of what you got

I've got a red hot heart

If the talk is true your's is the same

And we should be together

And let our passions fan love's flame

When I looked for you I almost passed you by

You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied

But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside

It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got

I've got a red hot heart

If the talk is true your's is the same

And we should be together

And let our passions fan love's flame

I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine

I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other

But my right is your wrong

And when you're right then I'm left with nothing

Your light and your heat have all been spent

Leaving only smoke and ashes

Only smoke and ashes baby

I've got a red hot heart

Any your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins

I say there's fire down below

You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

I'm crying all the time

Salty stinging tears

And mourning for the past carbon-dated years

But knowing now for certain that you were always right

Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life

It's only smoke and ashes baby

Only smoke and ashes baby

I've got a red hot heart

And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins

I say there's fire down below

You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

I was blinded by devotion

My unwavering love for you

So blinded that I thought all your lies were true

But now I know for certain since you've gone away

It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze

Only smoke and ashes baby

I've got a red hot heart

And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins

I say there's fire down below

You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ...

Heart Of Stone

Rolling Stones

There've been so many girls that I've known

I've made so many cry and still I wonder why

Here comes the little girl

I see her walking down the street

She's all by herself

I try and knock her off her feet

But, she'll never break, never break, never break, never break

Pubblica post

This heart of stone

Oh, no, no, this heart of stone

What's different about her? I don't really know

No matter how I try I just can't make her cry.

'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break

This heart of stone

Oh, no, no, no, this heart of stone

Don't keep on looking that some old way

If you try acting sad, you'll only make me glad

Better listen little girl

You go on walking down the street

I ain't got no love, I ain't the kind to meet

'Cause you'll never break, never break, never break, never break

This heart of stone.

Oh, no, no, you'll never break this heart of stone darlin'

No, no, this heart of stone

You'll never break it darlin'

You won't break this heart of stone

Oh no no no

You better go

You better go home

'Cause you'll, you'll never break this heart of stone.

I've Never Been In Love Before

Chet Baker

I’ve never been in love before

now all at once it’s you

it’s you forever more

I’ve never been in love before

I thought my heart was safe

I thought I knew the score

But this is wine

It’s all too strange and strong

I’m full of foolish song

And out my song must pour

So please forgive this helpless haze I’m in

I’ve really never been

in love before

But this is wine

It’s all too strange and strong

I’m full of foolish song

And out my song must pour

So please forgive this helpless haze I’m in

I’ve really never been

in love before

Incredibile ma....

vero.....

What A Difference A Day Makes

Rod Stewart

What A Difference A day makes

24 Little hours

From the sun and the flowers

Where there use to be rain.

My yesterday was blue dear

today I'm a part of you dear.

My lonely nights are through dear

since you said you were mine.

What a difference a day makes

there's a rainbow before me.

Skies now blues once were stormy

just before i missed that thrilling.

And don't know when you

find romance on your menu

What a difference a day makes.

And that difference is you

Tanto tempo fa
un grande filosofo indiano
scrisse " Nel mare della vita
i fortunati
vanno in crociera
gli altri nuotano
qualcuno annega "
Ehi capitano mio
vado giu'
non e' blu questo mare
non e' blu
tra rifiuti pescecani ed SOS
vado alla deriva sto affogando
Che cacchio stai dicendo
affoghi in un bicchiere
sai nuotare come me piu' di me
ce la fai se lo vuoi si che puoi
prendi fiato e vai
vai che ce la fai
Sai che c'e'
non ce ne frega niente
dei pescecani
e di tanta brutta gente
siamo delfini
e' un gioco da bambini il mare
Ehi capitano mio
c'e' una sirena
dice che mi ama
forse crede non lo so
lo saprai se anche tu l'amerai
non ci si nega mai
a chi dice si'
dille di si' si' si' si'
Sai che c'e'
non ce ne frega niente
sirene o no
noi ci innamoriamo sempre
siamo delfini
giochiamo con le donne belle
Sai che c'e'
non ce ne frega niente
il mare e' un letto grande grande
siamo delfini
e' un gioco da bambini il mare
Mare facci sognare tu
nei tuoi fondali verdi e blu
quanti tesori immersi
sommersi
Ehi capitano mio
siamo accerchiati
da cento barche
arpioni ami e cento reti
fuggi via tu che sei piu' veloce
mi hanno solo ferito
ma sopravvivero'
Sai che c'e'
non ce ne frega niente
la vita e', e' morire cento volte
siamo delfini
giochiamo con la sorte
Sai che c'e'
non ce ne frega niente
vivremo sempre
noi sorrideremo sempre
siamo delfini
e' un gioco da bambini il mare
Sai che c'e'
e' un gioco da bambini il mare

Tanto me gustan .....

gozo y amor y canto

y alegría, ocio y cortesía,

que en el mundo no hay riqueza ni caudal

que me pueda hacer más feliz........

"Tant m'abelis"

Berenguer de Palou

Tanto me gustan gozo y amor y canto

y alegría, ocio y cortesía,

que en el mundo no hay riqueza ni caudal

que me pueda hacer más feliz;

por lo tanto, yo sé que mi dama tiene las llaves

de todos los bienes que yo espero y anhelo,

y nada de esto, sin ella, puedo obtener.

Su gran valor y su humilde semblante,

su gentil habla y su compañía,

me han hecho siempre querer a su señoría

más que a otra que yo hubiera visto después ni antes;

y si su cuerpo amoroso y dulce y suave

no se digna a retenerme y a darme merced,

nunca de ningún otro amor podré obtener placer.

He deseado con tanta fuerza su bien y su ventaja,

y la había deseado a ella y su compañía

que ya no creo, si me quiero alejar,

que se pudiera partir mi voluntad;

y si he contado el honor y el bien y la alabanza,

no me molesta que me tengan por mentiroso,

puesto que, con su virtud, bien sabe probar mi verdad.

Bella dama, cortesana, pudiente,

con cordura, sin deshonras y sin locura,

a pesar de que no os veo tan a menudo como querría,

alivia mis afanes mi pensamiento,

en qué me deleito y me recreo y me repongo;

y cuando, por otra parte, no os puedo físicamente ver

os veo, en todo momento, en el pensamiento día y anochecer.

¿Sabéis por qué no vacilo ni dejo

de amaros, mi bella y dulce amada?

Porque no tendría que temer, si yo os tuviera,

que mezclarais falsedad ni engaño;

porque yo amo más, pero sólo me atrevo a imaginar,

que vos podáis corresponder a mi necesidad

que a otra besar, abrazar y poseer.

Así pues, si me viera rodeado por vuestros brazos

de forma que los dos tuviéramos la misma voluntad,

no creo que pudiera existir un gozo mayor.

..........................................

So much I love joy and love and song,

mirth, sport and courtesy,

that in the world there is no wealth nor riches

that could make me feel happier.

Therefore I know well that my lady holds the keys

of all the good that I expect and hope for,

and none of this can I have without her.

Her great courage and her modest look,

her gentle speech and her fair company

have made me always love her dominion

more than any other's I have seen before or since;

and if her loving and tender heart

deigns not to keep me under her mercy,

love cannot please me with anything else.

So have I wanted her good and her renown,

and so have I desired her and her company

that I believe if she wanted me to leave her

I could never be able to part from her;

and if I declare her honour, her good and her fame,

I could not be held to be a liar,

since her worth proves my honesty.

Fair lady, courteous, kind,

of sure judgement, without blemish or folly,

although I do not see you as often as I would,

my fancy lightens my desire

in which is my delight, my ease and my repose,

and when my eyes cannot see you,

I see you in my thoughts, day and night.

Do you know why I do not turn aside or hesitate

in loving you, my fair, gentle friend?

Because if I had you, I should not fear

that you put forward any falsehood or deceit;

for I prefer, although I only presume it,

that you could some day be mine

than kiss, embrace or hold another woman

So if I ever am held in your arms

so that both of us are of one mind,

I wonder how I could contain my joy.

Get off ...

of My cloud

The Rolling Stones

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block

And I sit at home looking out the window

Imagining the world has stopped

Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack

And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

On my cloud, baby

The telephone is ringing

I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"

A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you

Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"

He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise

Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?

Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have

To drive me out of my head?"

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this

And decided to take a drive downtown

It was so very quiet and peaceful

There was nobody, not a soul around

I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream

In the morning the parking tickets were just like

A flag stuck on my window screen

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd

On my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud

Don't hang around, baby, two's a crowd

Lunedì,

ER CERVO

Un vecchio Cervo un giorno

sfasciò co' du' cornate

le staccionate che ciaveva intorno.

Giacché me metti la rivoluzzione,

je disse l'Omo appena se n'accorse -

te tajerò le corna, e allora forse

cambierai d'opinione...

No, - disse er Cervo - l'opinione resta

perché er pensiero mio rimane quello:

me leverai le corna che ciò in testa,

ma no l'idee che tengo ner cervello.

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.

What Becomes Of The Broken-Hearted

Joe Cocker

As I walk this land of broken dreams

I have visions of many things

But happiness is just an illusion

Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the broken hearted

Who had love that's now departed

I know I've got to find

Some kind of peace of mind

Maybe

The roots of love grow all around

But for me they come a tumblin' down

Every day heartaches grow a little stronger

I can't stand this pain much longer

I walk in shadows

Searching for light

Cold and alone

No comfort in sight

Hoping and praying for someone to care

Always moving and going nowhere

What becomes of the broken hearted

Who had love that's now departed

I know I've got to find

Some kind of peace of mind

Help me

I'm searching though I don't succeed

But someone look, there's a growing need

All is lost, there's no place for beginning

All that's left is an unhappy ending

Now what becomes of the broken-hearted

Who had love that's now departed

I know I've got to find

Some kind of peace of mind

I'll be searching everywhere

Just to find someone to care

I'll be looking everyday

I know I'm gonna find a way

Nothing's gonna stop me now

I'll find a way somehow

I'll be searching everywhere

I Soli

Giorgio Gaber

I soli sono individui strani

con il gusto di sentirsi soli fuori dagli schemi

non si sa bene cosa sono

forse ribelli forse disertori

nella follia di oggi i soli sono i nuovi pionieri.

I soli e le sole non hanno ideologie

a parte una strana avversione per il numero due

senza nessuna appartenenza, senza pretesti o velleità sociali

senza nessuno a casa a frizionarli con unguenti coniugali.

Ai soli non si addice l'intimità della famiglia

magari solo un po' d'amore quando ne hanno voglia

un attimo di smarrimento, un improvviso senso d'allegria

allenarsi a sorridere per nascondere la fatica

soli, vivere da soli

soli, uomini e donne soli.

I soli si annusano tra loro

sono così bravi a crearsi intorno un senso di mistero

sono gli Humphrey Bogart dell'amore

sono gli ambulanti son gli dèi del caso

i soli sono gli eroi del nuovo mondo coraggioso.

I soli e le sole ormai sono tanti

con quell'aria un po' da saggi, un po' da adolescenti

a volte pieni di energia a volte tristi, fragili e depressi

i soli c’han l'orgoglio di bastare a se stessi.

Ai soli non si addice il quieto vivere sereno

qualche volta è una scelta qualche volta un po' meno

aver bisogno di qualcuno, cercare un po' di compagnia

e poi vivere in due e scoprire che siamo tutti

soli, vivere da soli

soli, uomini e donne soli.

La solitudine non è malinconia

un uomo solo è sempre in buona compagnia.

Drops...

of Jupiter

Train

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Heeey heeeey heeeeey

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe

of my left-side brains

I knew I wouldn't forget you

And so I went and let you blow my mind

Your sweet moving

The smell of you

in every single dream I dream

I knew when we collided

you're the one I have decided

Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister,

ain't that mister mister

on the radio, stereo

The way you move ain't fair you know

Hey soul sister,

I don't wanna miss

a single thing you do tonight

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just in time,

I'm so glad you have

a one track mind like me

You gave my life direction

A game show love connection,

we can't deny

I'm so obsessed

My heart is bound to beat

right out my untrimmed chest

I believe in you, like a virgin,

you're Madonna

And I'm always gonna wanna

blow your mind

Hey soul sister,

ain't that mister mister

on the radio, stereo

The way you move ain't fair you know

Hey soul sister,

I don't wanna miss

a single thing you do tonight

Well you can cut a rug

Watching you is the only drug I need

So gangster, I'm so thug

You're the only one I'm dreaming of

You see I can be myself now finally

In fact there's nothing I can't be

I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister,

ain't that mister mister

on the radio, stereo

The way you move ain't fair you know

Hey soul sister,

I don't wanna miss

a single thing you do tonight

Hey soul sister,

I don't wanna miss

a single thing you do tonight

preghiera..... 

Come, dove, quando...

I Say A Little Prayer

Aretha Franklin

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little prayer for you

While combing my hair, now,

And wondering what dress to wear, now,

I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart

and I will love you

Forever, forever, we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only be heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,

While riding I think of us, dear,

I say a little prayer for you.

At work I just take time

And all through my coffee break-time,

I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart

and I will love you

Forever, forever we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,

For me there is no one

But you

Ora mi pento.....

Mea...

culpa

Djavan

Eu não digo

Que se trate de um amor perdido

Resta a chama, mas a hora

De fazer o mea-culpa é agora

E exibir outros dados

Que impliquem outros resultados

Com a bênção do perdão

Por que não, por que não?

Não botei fé

Nunca dei margem pra sofrimento

Tô atento, mas os dias

Com a marca da melancolia

São lembrados!...

E é possível

Que no afã de uma ou outra briga

Tenha errado sem perdão

Mas quem não, mas quem não?

Não sei se o meu rival

Descrito como o tal

No seu caso de amor

Vacilou

Não fez o que é

Pra se fazer

Mas sei que o passado

Vem cobrar meu bem,

E nessa é um tal de chorar

Viver no bar buscando aliviar

A dor da solidão, sem ação

Só pensando em voltar

A sorrir ou chorar

Com a vida

Que antes parecia rasa e cinza

Em verdade

Era pão, era vinho, era chão

Non poniamo limiti...

Telling Stories

Tracy Chapman

There is fiction in the space between

The lines on your page of memories

Write it down but it doesn't mean

You're not just telling stories

There is fiction in the space between

You and me

There is fiction in the space between

You and reality

You will do and say anything

To make your everyday life

Seem less mundane

There is fiction in the space between

You and me

There's a science fiction in the space between

You and me

A fabrication of a grand scheme

Where I am the scary monster

I eat the city and as I leave the scene

In my spaceship I am laughing

In your remembrance of your bad dream

There's no one but you standing

Leave the pity and the blame

For the ones who do not speak

You write the words to get respect and compassion

And for posterity

You write the words and make believe

There is truth in the space between

There is fiction in the space between

You and everybody

Give us all what we need

Give us one more sad sordid story

But in the fiction of the space between

Sometimes a lie is the best thing

Sometimes a lie is the best thing
