Canzone carina che mi è venuta in mente e che dedico a una persona che se legge questo post potrebbe sentirsi chiamata in causa in questo testo.
It’s over your head
And you don’t seem to understand
One word I say
And you can’t live your life
Trying to run away
You’re fighting your friends
You’re wearing everybody out
But it never ends
You’re wearing me out
Come on
Reach out
And let somebody in your life
Don’t get me wrong
You always apologize
It’s just your way
Of making a scene
You need to be loved
It’s not such a crime
Come on
Reach out
And let somebody in your life
Over your head
You just don’t seem to understand
One word I say
And you can’t live your life
You got so much love
It’s burning inside
Come on
Reach out
And let somebody in your life
“…Love is a banquet on which we feed…”

The Beatles - The Fool on the hill
Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ‘round.
Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hear him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ‘round.
And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ‘round.
Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.
And he never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ‘round.
Ooh,
Round and round and round
Gira la Ruota, la Ruota di Preghiera
della Fortuna e della Primavera
della Speranza e della Compassione
dell’Ignoranza e della Devozione.
Non ci sarà nessuna mutazione
perché il tempo è un’illusione.
Gira la Ruota, la Ruota del Dolore
della Purezza e dell’Ambizione
della Vecchiezza e della Gioventù
per regalarci un altro giorno in più.
Non ci sarà nessuna mutazione
perché il tempo è un’illusione.

Ballatona anni 80 che mi ricorda a una persona speciale…
JOURNEY - OPEN ARMS
Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper
You’re so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side
So now I come to you with the open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am with the open arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Open arms
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you’ve come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you with the open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am with the open arms
Hoping you’ll see what your love means to me
Open arms
I listen to the wind
To the wind of my soul
Where I’ll end up well I think,
Only God really knows
I’ve sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never
I listen to my words but
They fall far below
I let my music take me where
My heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil’s lake
But never, never never never
I’ll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never
Caronte demonio, occhi di fuoco nel buio
‘…e non sperate mai di rivedere il cielo
Anime nere al fuoco eterno brucerete!’
Caronte demonio
Sei qui davanti agli occhi miei
Qui davanti agli occhi miei
Come in una favola ti vedo lassù
Salti fra le nuvole ritorni quaggiù
Poi mi corri incontro, mi prendi per la mano
Guardi nei miei occhi e mi porti con te.
Ti sognavo la notte vicino a me
Mi svegliavo al mattino e non c’eri più, però.
Ieri sognavo te, oggi sei qui con me
Ieri volevo te, oggi ti vedo qui
Sei qui davanti agli occhi miei
Qui davanti agli occhi miei
Poi mi corri incontro, mi prendi per la mano
Guardi nei miei occhi e rimani con me.
Ti sognavo la notte vicino a me
Mi svegliavo al mattino e non c’eri più, però.
Day after day alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.
Well on his way his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill…
Nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill…

The times they are a-changing - Bob Dylan
Come gather ‘round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.
All’improvviso
Vedi il sole
Respiri l’aria
Raccogli un fiore
Che cosa eri
Non lo sai piu’
Un viale lungo
Davanti a te
Alberi immensi
Sul tuo cammino
Una ragione
Per vivere c’e’
La mente vola
Non ti conosci piu’
Ora sai cos’e’
La voglia di pregare
Ora sai cos’e’
La forza di sperare
Lassu’ qualcuno c’e’
Ti guardi in un ruscello
Sei proprio tu
Un altro inverno
Che se ne va
I tuoi ricordi
Sono lontani
Cosa e’ la neve
Non lo sai piu’
Si apre una porta
Davanti a te
Il sole e’ alto
Vieni con noi
Una ragione per vivere c’e’
La mente vola
Non ti conosci piu’
Ora sai cos’e’
La voglia di pregare
Ora sai cos’e’
La forza di sperare
Lassu’ qualcuno c’e’
Ti guardi in un ruscello
Sei proprio tu
La mente vola
Non ti conosci piu’
Ora sai cos’e’
La voglia di pregare
Ora sai cos’e’
La forza di sperare
Lassu’ qualcuno c’e’
Ti guardi in un ruscello
Sei proprio tu
Love of mine some day you will die
But I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
“Son fear is the heart of love”
So I never went back
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It’s nothing to cry about
Cause we’ll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Then I’ll follow you into the dark

Death Cab For Cutie - Different Names For The Same Thing
Lyrics:
Alone on a train aimless in wonder
An outdated map crumbled in my pocket
But I didn’t care where I was going
‘Cause they’re all different names for the same place.
The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
And I knew no words to share with anyone
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
And all the different names for the same thing
There are different names for the same things
There are different names for the same things…
E ora, in Zanzibar una stella cadente era alla guida di un side-car mormorando una melodia lunare
Manfred Mann Earth’s Band - Blinded by the light - Traduzione di Roberto P. (fonte

If you’re listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they’re not
He just wrote it like that
When you’re listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, They just play it like that
It doesn’t really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it’s only a Northern song.
It doesn’t really matter what clothes I wear
Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it’s only a Northern song.
If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You’re correct, Is nobody there
and I told you is no one there
A cavallo tra la felicità fanciullesca e una brutta crisi di nervi cerco di carpire ogni momento come fosse l'ultimo. E non lo trovo divertente né soddisfacente.
Tuttavia questo il mondo mi riserba ora, attendo qualcosa di nuovo a riportare quel "qualcosa " che certamente ora manca.
