Il Marinaio


Il Marinaio
((aka Un Marinaio (by The Beans); Un Angelo In Più (by Oro) - 1995; Nel Così Blu (by Zucchero) - 2006))
((Adapted from: A Salty Dog (by Procol Harum) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Mogol
Performer(s): Massimo Ranieri - 1970



Seduto qui
io guardo il mar
sono quasi già le sei
la nave è là
in fondo al mar
lentamente se ne va...

Il sole tarda
il vento è freddo
e frusta gli occhi miei
i miei ricordi
il viso tuo
non mi ha lasciato mai

Un marinaio vicino a me
anche lui guarda il mar
a cosa pensa
io non lo so
c'è sale negli occhi suoi...

Il suo fantasma
chissà chi è
certamente non sei tu!
Il vento è freddo
anche per lui
ma lui non piange più...

Un marinaio vicino a me
anche lui guarda il mar
a cosa pensa
io non lo so
c'è sale negli occhi suoi...

Il suo fantasma
chissà chi è
certamente non sei tu!
Il vento è freddo
anche per lui
ma lui non piange più...

Just take a little time You say the finer things Are worth waiting for Just give me some kinda sign, baby I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer, whoa! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh! Sometimes I think of all the moments that we share I've been waiting for so long You know it hurts me Everytime you run and hide I look up and now you're gone I've been put down, way down There's no tomorrow for me You can't let love just fade away, baby I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer I can't wait, wait for a hundred years! I can't hold back my tears any longer! Girl, I've been longing for you deep inside And I tell myself, baby, baby If this love of ours will survive Then let's take this chance together, together Baby, you know! I just can't wait (I just can't wait) Wait for a hundred years (I just can't wait) I just can't wait I can't hold back my tears any longer, longer! I can't wait, wait for a hundred years I can't hold back my tears (can't hold back my tears) any longer! Now hear, you pushed my heart around Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad You took away my pride! (My pride!) I can't wait, wait for a hundred years I can't hold back my tears any longer I can't hold back my tears (Any longer) I can't hold back my tears, baby (Any longer) I can't hold back my tears, darling (Any longer) I can hold back my tears, baby (Any longer) Any longer I can't wait I'm down on my knees, baby Baby, baby, baby Don't talk to me Break down on my knees, baby Must tell me Can't help my soul I can't help my soul, baby, baby (Any longer) Talk to me (Any longer) Break down on my knees, now baby (Any longer) (Any longer) Can't wait (Any longer) I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait Wait, baby I can't wait no more, now baby Break down on my knees

Un Angelo In Più


Un Angelo In Più
((aka Il Marinaio (by Massimo Ranieri) - 1970; Un Marinaio (by The Beans); Nel Così Blu (by Zucchero) - 2006))
((Adapted from: A Salty Dog (by Procol Harum) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Alibani
Performer(s): Oro - 1995



Come sarà amore mio
La tua vita senza me
Non basterà la compagnia
Dei miei ricordi in te
Se me ne andrò dai giorni tuoi
E come un angelo in più
Io pregherò per te se vuoi
Da una casa in mezzo al blu
Come sarà amore mio
La tua vita senza me
Aspetterai che ci sia anch’io
Poi mangerai da te
Lavorerai ti piegherai
Dietro una scrivania
Ma non potrai buttarti via
Perché amore eterno è
E piangerai davanti a un film
Che parlerà di noi
Di me di tedi quelli che
Non si perderanno mai
E se lassù fra il cielo e Dio
C’è un’eterna casa blu
Vivrà lassù amore mio
Il tuo angelo in più
Come sarà amore mio
La tua vita senza me

You're looking nervous at the dealer Money goes like sand Slipping through your hands You're leaving everything behind you Wave it all goodbye I can hear you cry Wait - don't think about it Wait - it's never too late Wait - don't worry 'bout it Wait - leave it all to fate Wait Oh no this game is like a nightmare There can be no doubt Luck has dealt me out I'm only searching for the right time Money on the line I can hear you cry

Nel Così Blu


Nel Così Blu
((aka Il Marinaio (by Massimo Ranieri) - 1970; Un Marinaio (by The Beans); Un Angelo In Più (by Oro) - 1995))
((Adapted from: A Salty Dog (by Procol Harum) - 1969))
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Pasquale Panella - Zucchero
Performer(s): Zucchero - 2006



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

A Sailor's Not A Sailor ('Til A Sailor's Been Tattooed)
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ethel Merman & Mitzi Gaynor



Merman: I'm an old salt
Gaynor: I'm a young salt
Both: In the Navy we've been working very hard
Merman: I was part of the Flotilla with Dewey in Manila
Gaynor: I'm a new recruit at the Brooklyn Navy yard

Both: Tonight we're on a spree and feeling flow'ry
Both: We've got a date with gals and drink and food
Gaynor: Across the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Bow'ry
Merman: And I'm gonna get the kid tattooed
Gaynor: Tattooed?
Merman: Tattooed!
Both: A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed

Merman:
Here's an anchor from a tanker
That I sailed upon when first I went to sea
Here's another of my mother
Takes me back to when I sat upon her knee
Here's a crimson heart with a Cupid's dart
Here's a Battle Cruiser and when I sit down
On that, too
There's a tattoo
Of my home town

Gaynor: To the Bow'ry
Merman: To the Bow'ry
Gaynor: 'Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm just in the mood

Merman:
He'll be filled with diff'rent mixtures
And covered up with pictures

Gaynor:
I can't wait to be, 't will be great to be tattooed

Merman: Tattooed?
Gaynor: Tattooed!
Both: A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed

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

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!)

A Runner With The Pack


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

Storia Di Una Bottiglia


Storia Di Una Bottiglia
((Adapted from: A Rum Tale (by Procol Harum) - 1973))
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!

I'll be proper and prim Go to St. James so often I will call it St. Jim!

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
