Fabri Fibra, Gianna Nannini - In Italia

Ci sono cose che nessuno ti dirà…
ci sono cose che nessuno ti darà…
sei nato e morto qua
sei nato e morto qua

nato nel paese delle mezza verità

dove fuggi?

in italia pistole in macchine
in italia machiavelli e foscolo
in italia i campioni del mondo

sono in italia

benvenuto
in italia fatti una vacanza al mare
in italia meglio non farsi operare
in italia non andare all’ospedale
in italia la bella vita
in italia le grandi serate e i gala
in italia fai affari con la mala
in italia il vicino che ti spara

in italia…

rit. (x2)
Ci sono cose che nessuno ti dirà…
ci sono cose che nessuno ti darà…
sei nato e morto qua
sei nato e morto qua
nato nel paese delle mezze verità

dove fuggi?
in italia i veri mafiosi sono
in italia i più pericolosi sono
in italia le ragazze nella strada
in italia mangi pasta fatta in casa
in italia poi ti entrano i ladri in casa
in italia non trovi un lavoro fisso
in italia ma baci il crocifisso
in italia i monumenti
in italia le chiese con i dipinti
in italia gente con dei sentimenti
in italia la campagna e i rapimenti

in italia…

rit. (x2)
Ci sono cose che nessuno ti dirà…
ci sono cose che nessuno ti darà…
sei nato e morto qua
sei nato e morto qua
nato nel paese delle mezze verità

dove fuggi?
in italia le ragazze corteggiate
in italia le donne fotografate
in italia le modelle ricattate
in italia impara l’arte
in italia gente che legge le carte
in italia assassini mai scoperti
in italia volti persi e voti certi

in italia

rit. (x2)
Ci sono cose che nessuno ti dirà…
ci sono cose che nessuno ti darà…
sei nato e morto qua
sei nato e morto qua
nato nel paese delle mezze verità

dove fuggi… (x2)

Suzanne Vega - Luka

This is a wonderful song , I think Suzanne Vega must be a thoughtful human being as well as a great songwriter.
This song is about family violence, to be specific: about a battered child!
Totally timeless still sounds so fresh.

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am [X3]

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

And they only hit until you cry
After that, you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Guð einn er nóg!

Íslensku:

Lát þú ekkert trufla þig, 

ekkert hræða þig; 

allir hlutir eru hverfulir, 

en Guð er ávallt óumbreytanlegur; 

þrautseig þolinmæði 

nær hverju og einu marki; 

hann sem á Guð er í engu ávant; 

Guð einn er nóg.

                                          (Hl. Teresa af Avila)

***********************************

Spanish (original version):

Nada te turbe;

nada te espante;

todo se pasa;

Dios no se muda,

la paciencia

todo lo alcanza.

Quien a Dios tiene,

nada le falta.

Solo Dios basta.

                                       (Santa Teresa de Jesús)

***********************************

English:

May nothing disturb you.

May nothing astonish you.

Everything passes.

God does not go away.

Patience

can attain anything.

He who has God within,

does not lack anything.

God is everything!

                                     (St. Teresa of Avila)

************************************

Italiano:

Nulla ti turbi, 

nulla ti spaventi;

Tutto passa;

Dio non cambia;

la pazienza, 

ottiene tutto.

Chi possiede Dio, 

non manca di nulla.

Solo Dio basta.

                                (S. Teresa d'Avila)

So funny!!

Felix, the cat (the wonderful, wonderful cat)

The second name of my father is Felix and because of that I was always joking with this song :-) 

Last July 18th was the 20° anniversary of his death and I still miss him so much even-though I feel him always close to me and I have great memories. 

Now I want to remember him with a smile as he would like it and share with all of you the song:

Felix the cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat
Whenever he gets in a fix
He reaches into his bag of tricks

Felix the cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat
You'll laugh so hard your sides will ache
Your heart will go pit-a-pat
Watching Felix the wonderful cat

Felix the cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat
You never know what he'll do next
and do even try to take a guess

Felix the cat
The wonderful, wonderful cat
he is so much fun for everyone
none can question that
'cause is Felix the wonderful cat

Apologize

After a long time without write anything I begin again with this Justin Timberlake's song that I like it a lot, I hope you all enjoy it and we are again in touch!

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

And I'm hearing what you say

But I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me

Then you go and cut me down

But wait...

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around and say...

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat

(But that's nothing new)

Yeah yeah

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue

And you say

"Sorry" like the angel, heaven let me think was you

But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Woahooo woah

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeahah

I said it's too late to apologize, yeahah

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground...

Francesco Tricarico - Premio della critica Sanremo 2008

Veramente bella!!
So nice!!

'Dopo la Tempesta' eða 'Ég hlakka svo til' ???

I know many Icelanders know this song like a Christmas song, I like it too but I was always with the feeling that I knew it since a long time and suddenly I remember the Italian singer Marcella Bella (I like her a lot) and her song 'Dopo la tempesta' (After the storm) and surprise!!

And I have find again that an Icelandic Christmas song is just a copy of a romantic Italian song with Christmas lyrics....

Einfalt - Semplice - Simple

Versione italiana più giù - Version en español más abajo - English version bellow:

Einfalt

Segðu mér hvað þér finnst,

Þú veit að ég veit.

Og jafnvel þótt þú talir ekki,

augu þín hvísla því að mér.

Bros þitt staðfestir það,

svipur þinn segir allt.

Ekki hafa sektarkennd,

ekki vera hræddur,

segðu mér

og við munum njóta þess að fullu!

Dimmi quello che pensi,

tu sai che io lo so.

E anche se non parli,

il tuo sguardo parla chiaro.

Smettila di sentirti colpevole,

non avere paura,
dimmelo

e ci divertiremo tantissimo!

Dime lo que piensas,

Termina de sentirte culpable,
no tengas miedo,
dímelo
y nos divertiremos muchísimo!

tell it to me

and we will enjoy it so much!
