Il Mio Canto Libero

– in a world that
– doesn’t want us anymore
– my free singing
– and immensity
– opens around us
– beyond your eyes boundaries
– feeling is born
– it’s born between crying
– and he lift really high and it goes
– and it flies over people’s accusations
– (it flies) indifferent over its heritage
– holded up by a love gasp
– of true love
– in a world that
– prisoner is
– we breath free, me and you
– and the truth
– it offers herself naked to us and
– and image is clear
– already
– new sensations
– young feelings
– they express theirselves really pure
– in us
– ancient ghosts’ dress
– falling it leaves the painting immaculate
– and a warm wind of love blows
– of real love
– and i discover you again
– sweet mate who
– you can’t ask but you know
– that everywhere you will go
– you will have me by your side
– if you want it
– stones a day houses
– coverei up by wild roses
– they live again
– they call us
– abandoned woods
– and for this survived virgins
– they open
– they hug us
– in a world that
– is prisoner
– we breath free
– me and you
– and the truth
– offers herself naked to us
– and image is clear
– already
– new sensations
– young feelings
– they express theirselves really pure
– in us
– ancient ghosts’ dress
– falling it leaves the painting immaculate
– and a warm wind of love blows
– of real love
– and i discover you again

[Falcao]

This song is starting to take-off in Mexico.

Amor en fuego [Love in fire]


Appeared of the shade of a fantasy; caress me this way.

In the dressing room there waits in the hide an accomplice, an accomplice.
She plays about being of ice, but only what is in excess is melted,
Not her intimacy.

She makes love in fire
Like an animal in heat, this way.
She makes love with "muito sentimento." [Portuguese for "lot/much feeling"]

[Falcao]

La Mer [The Sea]


This song remembers me a poem from Jorge Luis Borges that ends:

What is the sea? Who I am? I will know it
the day after the agony.

The Genoese school of singer-songwriters means those strongly influenced by Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, George Brassens, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen. Most of these singers have been very successful in the '60s, for some of them success has continued . Usually form part of the Genoese school of singer-songwriters:

* Umberto Bindi (Bogliasco 1932 - Rome 2002)
* Luigi Tenco (Cassine 1938 - Sanremo 1967)
* Fabrizio De André (Genoa 1940 - Milan 1999)
* Bruno Lauzi (Asmara 1937 - Peschiera Borromeo 2006)
* Gino Paoli (Monfalcone 1934 -)

I was a kid than: that music gave me pleasures in more than one way ...
I am sure that there are very good singer-songwriters nowadays in Italy. Maybe some kid will point them out.

Il mio mondo

Spoiler:

Il mio giorno e' cominciato con te
La mia notte mi verra' da te
Un sorriso ed io sorridero'
Un tuo gesto ed io piangero'

La mia forza me l'hai data tu
Ogni volta che hai creduto in me
Tu mi hai dato quello che
Il mondo non mi ha dato mai

Il mio mondo e' cominciato in te
Il mio mondo finira' con te
E se tu mi lascerai
In un momento io moriro'

Tu mi hai dato quello che
Il mondo non mi ha dato mai
Il mio mondo e' cominciato con te
Il mio mondo finira' con te

E se tu mi lascerai
In un momento cosi'
Tutto per me
Finira' con te

Tenco vedrai vedrai

Spoiler:

Vedrai Vedrai :
Quando la sera me ne torno a casa
non ho neanche voglia di parlare
tu non guardarmi con quella tenerezza
come fossi un bambino che ritorna deluso
si lo so che questa non è certo la vita
che hai sognato un giorno per noi
vedrai, vedrai
vedrai che cambierà
forse non sarà domani
ma un bel giorno cambierà
vedrai, vedrai
non son finito sai
non so dirti come e quando
ma vedrai che cambierà
preferirei sapere che piangi
che mi rimproveri di averti delusa
e non vederti sempre così dolce
accettare da me tutto quello che viene
mi fa disperare il pensiero di te
e di me che non so darti di più
vedrai, vedrai
vedrai che cambierà
forse non sarà domani
ma un bel giorno cambierà
vedrai, vedrai
no, non son finito sai
non so dirti come e quando
ma un bel giorno cambierà.

You'll see You'll see:
When the evening I'm going home
I do not even want to talk
You do not look at me with tenderness
like I was a child who returns disappointed
yes, I know this is not the life
you dreamed of one day for us
you'll see, you'll see
you'll see that change
maybe not tomorrow
but the day will change
you'll see, you'll see
You know I'm not finished
I can not tell how and when
but you'll see that change
I'd rather know that you cry
I blame disappointed to have you
and not always so sweet to see you
I accept everything that is
makes me despair of the thought of you
I do not know me and give you more
you'll see, you'll see
you'll see that change
maybe not tomorrow
but the day will change
you'll see, you'll see
no, you know I'm not finished
I can not tell how and when
but the day will change.

Via del Campo

Spoiler:

Via del Campo c'è una graziosa
gli occhi grandi color di foglia
tutta notte sta sulla soglia
vende a tutti la stessa rosa.

Via del Campo c'è una bambina
con le labbra color rugiada
gli occhi grigi come la strada
nascon fiori dove cammina.

Via del Campo c'è una puttana
gli occhi grandi color di foglia
se di amarla ti vien la voglia
basta prenderla per la mano

e ti sembra di andar lontano
lei ti guarda con un sorriso
non credevi che il paradiso
fosse solo lì al primo piano.

Via del Campo ci va un illuso
a pregarla di maritare
a vederla salir le scale
fino a quando il balcone ha chiuso.

Ama e ridi se amor risponde
piangi forte se non ti sente
dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior
dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior.

Via del Campo there is a gratious one
eyes big color of green leafs
all nightshe stands on the threshold
and she sells to every one the same rose.

Via del Campo there is a child
with lips the color of dew
gray eyes as the road
flowers blossom where she walks.

Via del Campo there is a whore
big eyes the color of a green leaf
if you feel like loving her
just take her by the hand

and you think she has taken you far away
she looks at you with a smile
you did not believe that heaven
was there just at the first floor.

Via del Campo there goes a fool
to ask her to marry
to see her climb the stairs
until the balcony is closed.

Laugh and love if love answers
cry strong if it does not hear you
nothing comes from diamonds
the flowers come from manure
nothing comes from diamonds
the flowers come from manure.

Gino Paoli - Il Cielo In Una Stanza (1960).
