Nel Così Blu

In testa ho
La frase che
Incendia un bosco in testa a me
La frase che
Ho in testa è
"E allora la baciai"
E immaginai
Cobalto il cielo
D'amore immenso intorno a lei
E me ne andai
E navigai
E non lo so se più tornai
In testa ho
La frase che
Fa la tempesta in testa a me
E se la neve
Non fa rumore
"Allora lei mi amò"
Di vento e dune
Di notti intere
E bianche in mare insieme a lei
E me ne andai
Nel così blu
E non lo so se più tornai
In testa ho
La frase che
Lei disse, resta in testa a me
E mi estasiai
E dissi anch'io
"Per sempre amore mio"
Abbiamo insieme
Ingoiato il sole
Dipinto d'infinito il mare
E me ne andai
E navigai
E non lo so se più tornai

On that, too
There's a tattoo
Of my home town

A Sad Song
A Sad Song
Performer(s): Alvin Lee
The love that you gave me - has gone with the rain
The joy that just filled me - has turned into pain
My face in the mirror - reminds me of you
It's the one that you lied to - when you said you'd be true
The tears in my eyes - are all that you'll find
The scars on my face - just deepen my mind

Wagon Wheels

Wagon wheels, wagon wheels
Keep on a-turnin', wagon wheels
Roll along, sing your song
Carry me over the hill
Go 'long, mule, there's a steamer at the landin'
Waitin' for the cotton to load
Go 'long mule, the boss is understandin'
There's a pasture at the end of the road
Wagon wheels, wagon wheels
Keep on a-turnin', wagon wheels
Roll along, sing your song
Wagon wheels, carry me home
Wagon wheels, carry me home

A Russian Love Song
A Russian Love Song
Composer(s): Spike Milligan - Stephens
Performer(s): The Goons; Spike Milligan
There were two Russian lovers walking hand in hand
On the banks of a river in a snow covered land.
A boy and a girl with starlight in their eyes
They kiss and caress as he tenderly sighs
Oh! Oh! Oh! Comrade!
All right comrade that's enough!
We meet each night by the silvery light of our dear old fashioned
Russian satellite moon
It shines so bright -- turns Americans white at the sight of our dear
old fashioned Russian satelite moon
And over here in England
I saw it at my flat
I ran into the cellar
And put on my old ARP hat
Don't be silly! Comrades!
Just dance with joy, while we are all still alive by the light of our
glorious Russian satelite moon
Gentleman! Look up in the skies -- I can't believe my eyes!
It's that dear old fashioned Russian satelite moon!
What, what, where?
Hand me get my gun -- we're going to have some fun (bang)
Oh I missed that naughty Russian satellite moon
I'll have to run you in there for a very legal reason
Shooting at Russian moons when they are out of season
Stand aside -- my reply to that is this rocket driven hat
England's answer to that Russian satellite moon...The President.
Gentleman the President of the har-har-har of the har-har-har
There is a Russian satelite moon over Arkansas, Mr President
Thank heaven it is not over America
Don't worry, we are prepared for this Mr Presley: hit 'em heavy
Now listen here! I'll make it clear just what we intend to do I'm
gonna rock around that Russian satelite moon
I'm gonna rock around that Russian satellite moon (mumbles - fades - to replaced by a Russian)
That's right, comrade Elvis Go on, shake your hips while we listen to the blips
Of our glorious Russian satellite moon
(Various strange words getting faster until the Russian explodes!)

Roll along Wagon Train
Rollin' over prairie where there ain't no grass
Rollin' over mountain where there ain't no pass
Sittin' on a board, eyein' the weather
Prayin' to the Lord, we stay together
Side by side on the Wagon Train
Wagon Train, roll along
Pickin' up a passenger in every town
Wonderin' if he's ever gonna shoot you down
Lookin' for a pal, ain't it a pity
Lookin' for a gal, needn't be pretty
If she'll ride on the Wagon Train
Wagons ho!
Gotta keep em on the run
Time to go and follow the sun
Roll along Wagon Train
Never had a cabin near a general store
Only had a wagon and a forty-four
Sittin' on a board, eyein' the weather
Prayin' to the Lord, we stay together
Side by side on the Wagon Train

A Runner With The Pack
Composer(s): Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Donna Summer
He’s got a second side he’s got sixth sense
He got everything
He got what it takes
He got what it makes to be everything
Seems to know all there is to know
I took him there
He steals the show
He’s so astute he’s so acute he’s gold sure he is
He’s eloquent he’s intelligent and benevolent
He’s the epitome of ability with his expertise
He’s versatile with a lot of style
He’d mess my heart every time he’d smile
So unpretentious a warm and gentle soul
A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
Cause he’s inventive, attentive, protective, selective
Perceptive, receptive, affective, reflective
A runner with the pack, no he’d never do that
He got tolerance he got confidence he’s significant
And he’s a connoisseur and a social stir he’s magnificent
So fair and square he reciprocates
And every way he stimulates
His quality of voracity is great
A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
A runner with the pack, no he’s not like that
Cause he’s inventive, attentive, protective, selective
Perceptive, receptive, effective, reflective
(you know the he’s)
A runner with the pack, no he’d never do that

Waco
Waco
Composer(s): Hal Blair; Jimmie Haskell
Performer(s): Lorne Greene
Waco, yeah
He stood tall with heavy guns that tied down at the thigh
Gunmen knew that to test his draw was to pick your time to die
Even an outlaw deadly mean, the ones that you been said
But now a bad gringo has done his best and he was the law instead
Waco, Waco
People moved away from him, his smile was grim and cold
The badge he wore was a mockery to the notches on his soul
Was he good or was he bad, even Waco didn’t know
The girl he loved was promised now, so which way would he go
Waco, Waco
The hour was getting closer and the odds were mighty long
His life would be the forfait if he decided wrong
He whose God would not be his, what was he fighting for
The people of a little town that couldn’t despise him more
Waco, Waco
No more time he must decide, some thought he might have prayed
He checked his guns then faced the speed, a decision had been made
There was a dignity about him, a somber look of doom
The people that were in his way moved back and gave him room
Never had he faced such odds, he’d never learned upon
He had loved and now he’d die with his only friend the gun
A solemn lonely figure moving up the dusty street
A solitary target for the fate he was to meet
Waco (Waco), Waco (Waco)
With a roar the fight exploded, his big guns cut him down
That day will be remembered as long as there’s a town
The people saw one gunman stand and fight an outlaw band
He gave them the courage they had lost and they backed him to the man
Waco
Now his job was finished here
As he slowly turned away, a hand reached out and touched his arm
And a gentle voice said : “stay”
The girl he’d loved forever was standing at his side
And the real man that was Waco lived, and the outlaw Waco died
Waco, Waco, (Waco, Waco, Waco), yeah

A Rum Tale
A Rum Tale
((Italian Version: Storia Di Una Bottiglia (by Mimmo Locasciulli) - 1998))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
First release by: Procol Harum - 1973
She's fuddled my fancy, she's muddled me good
I've taken to drinking, and given up food
I'm buying an island, somewhere in the sun
I'll hide from the natives, live only on rum
I'm selling my memoirs, I'm writing it down
If no one will pay me I'll burn down the town
I'll rent out an aircraft and print on the sky
If God likes my story then maybe he'll buy
I'm buying a ticket for places unknown
It's only a one-way: I'm not coming home
She's swallowed my secret, and taken my name
To follow my footsteps and knobble me lame

Eerst nog efkes voor de proef
maar dan: Pief paf poef
Da's je straf Henry Higgins!
in je graf Henry Higgins!
Wacht maar af!!!!!!

Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Mimmo Locasciulli
Performer(s): Mimmo Locasciulli - 1998
Lei tira i miei sogni
Per farne realtà
Pavimenta d’argento
Le strade dei bar
Voglio un posto nel sole
Dove il buio non c’è
Mi riparo dal mondo
E mi dedico a me
E vendo la casa
Per andar via di qua
Se nessuno la vuole
Brucerò la città
Mi affitterò un aeroplano
Nel dipinto di blu
Venderò il mio racconto
E non scriverò più
Mi compro un biglietto
Per dove non so
Non ho preso un ritorno
Perché non tornerò
Non nascondo più niente
Nei segreti che ho
Ho una strada da fare
Quella strada farò

Just You Wait
Just You Wait
Dutch Title: Wacht Maar Af
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Audrey Hepburn
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
You'll be sorry, but your tears'll be to late!
You'll be broke, and I'll have money
Will I help you? Don't be funny!
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, till you're sick
And you scream to fetch a doctor double-quick
I'll be off a second later
And go straight to the the-ater!
Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
Ooooooh 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait until we're swimmin' in the sea!
Ooooooh 'enry 'iggins!
And you get a cramp a little ways from me!
When you yell you're going to drown
I'll get dressed and go to town!
Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins!
Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait!
One day I'll be famous!
I'll be proper and prim
Go to St. James so often I will call it St. Jim!
One evening the king will say
"Oh, Liza, old thing
I want all of England your praises to sing
Next week on the twentieth of May
I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!
All the people will celebrate the glory of you
And whatever you wish and want I gladly will do"
"Thanks a lot, King" says I, in a manner well-bred
But all I want is 'enry 'iggins 'ead!"
"Done," says the King with a stroke
"Guard, run and bring in the bloke!"
Then they'll march you, 'enry 'iggins to the wall
And the King will tell me: "Liza, sound the call"
As they lift their rifles higher
I'll shout: "Ready! Aim! Fire!"
Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins
Down you'll go, 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait!

A Routine Day
A Routine Day
Composer(s): John Woloschuk
Performer(s): Klaatu; The Curiosity Shoppe
It started off a routine day
I got through the morning in the usual way
I caught the bus on time
Good morning, Mr. Driver, drive
As I sat inside my overcoat I clutched my cane
And pressed my nose against the foggy window pane
Ho hum
The life I lead would even make a dead man yawn
Midday comes
I break for lunch
With my sandwich and a beer I go on a hunch
To the park where I hope to find
A little bit of peace of mind
As I sat there on a bench amidst the rodent race
I felt a strange sensation that without a trace appeared
But then as quickly disappeared again
So tell me what's the bloody point of playing the game
With so much to lose yet so little to gain
You sell your life away
Can't you see you're just a cog working like a dog
You trade your future for a dead-end job
That's full of routine days
Routine days
I race the clock to the end of my day
The paycheck in my pocket makes me feel okay
But was it worth the grind
Just to keep from falling behind
I stand here in the queue behind a foul cigar
My face discreetly buried in a book on Mars
Humdrum
And I'm waiting on the pier 'til Charon comes

Wabash Cannonball
Wabash Cannonball
Composer(s): Alvin P. Carter
Performer(s): The Carter Family;
and various other artists
From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific Shore
From sunny California to icebound Labrador
She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite well by all
She's the 'bos accomodation called the Wabash Cannon Ball
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome hobos call
While travelling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon Ball
This train she runs to Memphis, Mattoon and Mexico
She rolls through East St. Louis and she never does it slow
As she flies through Colorado, she gives an awful squall
They tell her by her whistle, the Wabash Cannon Ball
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome hobos call
While travelling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon Ball
Our eastern states are dandy, so the people always say
From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way
From the hills of Minnesota where rippling waters fall
No changes can be taken on the Wabash Cannon Ball
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome hobos call
While travelling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon Ball
Now here's to Boston Blackie, may his name forever stand
And always be remembered by the 'bos throughout the land
His earthly days are over and the curtains round him fall
We'll carry him home to glory on the Wabash Cannon Ball
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the woodlands, through the hills and by the shore
Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear those lonesome hobos call
While travelling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon Ball

A Rose On God's Shore
A Rose On God's Shore
Composer(s): Don Reno
Performer(s): Reno & Smiley
We knew no sorrow and we knew no grief
Until they loving face was missed
There are the engravings upon his tombstone
Each time that we read them we realize he's gone
Just like a rose he was picked from our view
He was needed in heaven with God's chosen few
My mother was called just a few weeks before
Two angels have bloomed like a rose on God's shore
I guess Jesus thought him unsafe here below
So he called him home while he's ready to go
That beautiful smile on his face that I kissed
I've never known sorrow till that face I missed

Waarom Zijn De Bananen Krom
Waarom Zijn De Bananen Krom
Performer(s): Tony Corsari
Ik reisde door heel verre streken, steeds m'n ogen uitgekeken
Naar al wat ik zag
Om erg veel wijsheid te vergaren studeerde ik twintig jaren
Achttien uur per dag
Ik dacht dat ik van alles alles wist
Maar hoe verschrikkelijk had ik mij vergist
Want op een keer vroeg mij een heer 'nou, excuseer dat ik geneer'
Maar ik had graag een antwoord op mijn vraag
Waarom zijn de banaantjes krom
Waarom, zeg mij waarom
Is dit feit nu uit te leggen omdat vele mensen zeggen
Dat in vruchtjes zonder pit gewoonlijk er geen beentje zit
Waarom zijn de banaantjes krom
Waarom, zeg mij waarom
Ach, het zou ten alle tijde alle mensen wis verblijden
Als men zeggen kon waarom
En sinds die dag ben ik gaan zoeken in de verst gelegen hoeken
Die ik vinden kon
Of er toch niemand was in leven die mij het antwoordje kon geven
Hier onder de zon
Ik ging van Brussel tot Amerika
Van Amsterdam tot in Noord-Afrika
En keer op keer vroeg ik toen weer 'nou, excuseer dat ik geneer'
Maar ik had graag een antwoord op mijn vraag
In Holland, waarom zijn de banaantjes krom
Waarom, zeg mij waarom
Is dit feit te expliceren omdat mensen pretenderen
Dat in vruchtjes zonder pit habitude er geen beentje zit
Waarom zijn de banaantjes krom
Waarom, zeg mij waarom
Ach, het zou mij raviseren moest u het mij detailleren
Als men zeggen kon waarom
In Spanje, quid sas, quid sas sos form del bananas
Quid sas, quid sas, quid sas
Yo te querro mio madre una querto mio padre
Mio se hable el tore anda anda café olé
Quid sas, quid sas sos form del bananas
Quid sas, donna Fabiolas
Yo se hariba Espagna, Franco est una paragna
Quid sas, quid sas, quid sas
In Frankrijk, pourquoi les petites bananes vont-elles comme ça
Pourquoi, dite-moi pourqoui
Ah, je voudrais que tu m'expliques cette forme excentrique
Peut-être parce qu'il n' y a pas de ...... dans ce petit machin là
Pourquoi les petites bananes vont-elles comme ça
Pourquoi, dite-moi pourqoui
Je le demande sans rire si personne ne peut me dire
Pourquoi, pourquoi, pourqoui
In Engeland, why why are little bananas so dry
Why why, please tell me why
Oh, you hardly could beleave me but this thing is gonna greave me
Mister Churchill say it's true that bananas are good for you
Why why are little bananas so dry
Why why, please tell me why
Do you know a better thing as bananas with creampudding
Why why why why why why
In Duitsland, waarum zind di bananen krum
Waarum zacht mir waarum
Unze Fuhrer mochte fragen waarum niemand das kan zagen
Fur die Rijchkanselarei is das ein grose schweinerei
Waarum zind di bananen krum
Waarum ach potverdum
Um den kriege zu vergessen mussen wir bananen fressen
Waarum daarum atsjoem
Waarom zijn de banaantjes krom
Waarom, zeg mij waarom
Is dit feit nu uit te leggen omdat vele mensen zeggen
Dat in vruchtjes zonder pit gewoonlijk er geen beentje zit
Waarom zijn de banaantjes krom
Waarom, zeg mij waarom
Ach, het zou ten alle tijde alle mensen wis verblijden
Als men zeggen kon waarom
