When I say em or do .......... I do it, I dont give a damn
What you think, Im doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it .........., its gassed up, if a things stopping me
Imma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me Im tearing down your .........
No if ands or buts dont try to ask him why or how can he
From .......... down to the last Relapse album hes still shit and
Whether hes on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he ......... his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
Hes .......... to the game, like a fuck you for christmas
His gift is a curse, ........ the earth hes got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole universe
Im not afraid to take a .........
Everybody come take my hand

To focus soley on ............ my responsibilitys as a father
So I ........... swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldnt lift a single shingle lonely
Cause the way I feel, I'm ...........enough to go to the club
Put a ??? and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause Im raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But Im too busy gazing at ........, I feel amazing and
I'm not .......... to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever ..., cold or warm
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Hola if you ........ that youve been ......... the same road.

Questo Piccolo Grande Amore (Claudio Baglioni)

Testo.

Quella sua maglietta fina
tanto stretta al punto che
m'immaginavo tutto
e quell'aria da bambina
che non gliel'ho detto mai
ma io ci andavo matto
E chiare sere d'estate
il mare i giochi e le fate
e la paura e la voglia
di essere nudi
Un bacio a labbra salate
un fuoco equattro risate
a far l'amore giù al faro
Ti amo davvero ti amo lo giuro
ti amo ti amo davvero
E lei lei mi guardava con sospetto
poi mi sorrideva
e mi teneva stretto stretto
Ed io io non ho mai capito niente
visto che oramai
non me lo levo dalla mente
che lei lei era
Un piccolo grande amore
solo un piccolo grande amore
niente più di questo niente più
Mi manca da morire
quel suo piccolo grande amore
adesso che saprei cosa dire
adesso che saprei cosa fare
adesso che
voglio un piccolo grande amore
Quella camminata strana
pure in mezzo a chissàche
l'avrei riconosciuta
Mi diceva "Sei una frana"
ma io questa cosa qui
mica l'ho mai creduta
E lunghe corse affannate
incontro a stelle cadute
e mani sempre più ansiose
di cose proibite
e le canzoni stonate
urlate al cielo lassù
"Chi arriva prima a quel muro"
non sono sicuro se ti amo davvero
non sono non sono sicuro
E lei tutt'ad un tratto non parlava
ma le si leggeva
chiaro in faccia che soffriva
Ed io io non lo so
quant'è che ha pianto
solamente adesso
me ne sto rendendo conto
che lei
Lei era un piccolo grande amore
solo un piccolo grande amore
niente più
di questo niente più
Mi manca da morire
quel suo piccolo grande amore
adesso che saprei cosa dire
adesso che saprei cosa fare
adesso che
voglio un piccolo grande amore.

Traduzione.
Her thin T-shirt
so tight, to the point that I was imagining everything
and her childlike air
I never told her, but I was crazy about it

And clear summer nights
the sea, the games, the fairies
and the fear and desire to be naked
a kiss on salty lips
a fire, a few laughs
and making love down by the lighthouse
I really love you...I swear I love you...
I love you, I love you truly...

And she
she looked at me with suspicion
Then she smiled and held onto me so tightly
And I
I never understood anything
but I see now and I can’t get it out of my mind
that she...

She was
a little big love
just a little big love
nothing more than this...nothing more...
I miss her to death
I miss her little big love
now that I would know what to say
now that I would know what to do
now that
I want a little big love...

That strange walk of hers
that I’d have recognized anywhere
She used to tell me "you're a hopeless case"
but I never believed it

And long breathless races
towards fallen stars
and hands always anxious about the forbidden things
and the off-key songs
we shouted to the sky up there
"Whoever reaches that wall first ..."
I'm not sure if I really love you...
I’m not...I'm not sure...

And she
stopped talking all of a sudden
but I could clearly see the pain on her face
And I
I don’t know how long she cried
And only now am I realizing
that she ...

She was
a little big love
just a little big love
nothing more than this... nothing more...
I miss her to death
I miss her little big love
now that I would know what to say
now that I would know what to do
now that
I want a little big love.

Riassunto Canzone.

This song is about a man who describes his love for a girl he met as a child but growing up their relationship has ended. He admits that he was a fool, that he loves her and that only now realizes what he could do or say to not let go.



Africa (Toto)


Testo.
“I hear the drums echoing tonight
but she hears only whispers
of some quiet conversation
she’s coming in 12:30 flight
the moonlit wings reflect the stars
that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
hoping to find some long
forgotten words or ancient melodies
he turned to me as if to say
- Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you -
It’s gonna take a lot
to drag me away from you
there’s nothing that a hundred men
or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
gonna take some time
to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
as they grow restless
longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
sure as Kilimanjaro rises
like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what’s deep inside
frightened of this thing that I’ve become
It’s gonna take a lot
to drag me away from you
there’s nothing that a hundred men
or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
gonna take some time
to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she’s waiting there for you
It’s gonna take a lot
to drag me away from you
there’s nothing that a hundred men
or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
gonna take some time
to do the things we never had”.

Traduzione.
“Stasera io sento l’eco dei tamburi
lei sente solo bisbigli di quiete conversazioni
arriva col volo delle 12:30
le ali del chiaro di luna riflettono le stelle
che mi guidano verso la salvezza
ho fermato un vecchio signore lungo la strada
speravo di trovare parole perse o antiche melodie
lui si é voltato verso di me come a dire
- Muoviti ragazzo, ti aspettano laggiù -

Ce ne vorrà per trascinarmi via da te
neanche con cento o più uomini si potrà mai fare
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
ci sarà un po’ di tempo
per ciò che non abbiamo mai potuto fare

Cani selvatici ululano nella notte
sempre più impazienti
cercano un gruppo solitario
so che devo fare la cosa giusta
quanto è vero che il Kilimanjaro si eleva
come l’Olimpo sopra il Serengeti
cerco di guarire nel profondo
impaurito da cosa sono diventato

Ce ne vorrà per trascinarmi via da te
neanche con cento o più uomini si potrà mai fare
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
ci sarà un po’ di tempo
per ciò che non abbiamo mai potuto fare

Muoviti ragazzo
lei ti sta aspettando laggiù

Ce ne vorrà per trascinarmi via da te
neanche con cento o più uomini
si potrà mai fare
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
benedico le piogge laggiù in Africa
ci sarà un po’ di tempo
per ciò che non abbiamo mai potuto fare”.

I don't care just what they say 
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me?
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with all your might
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana

Traduzione.
Io sono così giovane e tu così vecchia
Questo, mia cara, mi hanno detto
A me non importa quello che loro dicono
Perché io per sempre pregherò
Affinché tu ed io siamo liberi
Come gli uccelli sugli alberi
Oh, ti prego stai con me, Diana

Brividi che mi salgono quando mi tieni vicino
Oh, mia amata, tu sei il massimo
Io ti amo ma tu mi ami?
Oh, Diana, non riesci a vedere
Io ti amo con tutto il mio cuore
E spero che noi non ci divideremo mai
Oh, ti prego stai con me, Diana

Oh, mia adorata, oh, mia amante
Dimmi che non c'è nessun altro
Io ti amo con il cuore
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Solo tu puoi prendere il mio cuore
Solo tu puoi lacerarlo 
Quando mi tieni tra le tue amorevoli braccia
Io riesco a percepire che stai dando tutto il tuo fascino
Abbracciami, tesoro, oh-oh tienimi stretto
Stringimi piccola più forte che puoi
Oh, ti prego stai con me, Diana
Oh, ti prego, Diana
Oh, ti prego, Diana
Oh, ti prego, Diana


Imagine (John Lennon)


Testo.
“Imagine there’s no heaven
it’s easy if you try
no hell below us
above us only sky
imagine all the people
living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries
it isn’t hard to do
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too
imagine all the people
living life in peace…
You may say I’m a dreamer
but I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
and the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
no need for greed or hunger
a brotherhood of man
imagine all the people
sharing all the world…
You may say I’m a dreamer
but I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
and the world will live as one”.
Traduzione.
“Immagina non ci sia il paradiso
è facile se provi
nessun inferno sotto di noi
sopra solo il cielo
immagina che la gente
viva solo per l’oggi
Immagina non ci siano nazioni
non è difficile da fare
niente per cui uccidere e morire
e nessuna religione
immagina che tutti
vivano la loro vita in pace..

Puoi dire che sono un sognatore
ma non sono il solo
spero che ti aggregherai anche tu un giorno
e il mondo vivrà in unità

Immagina un mondo senza la proprietà
mi chiedo se ci riesci
senza necessità di avidità o rabbia
una fratellanza tra gli uomini
immagina tutta le gente
condividere il mondo intero…

Puoi dire che sono un sognatore
ma non sono il solo
spero che ti aggregherai anche tu un giorno
e il mondo vivrà in unità”.
