THE SUN SONG (1976)
(La canzone del sole)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
Yellow pigtails, and your round blue eyes
red socks and basket runnings.
And the innocence upon your sunny cheeks
no apples redder than these.
Down in the cellar darkness out of the lawn
although must be breathing so low
your footsteps running echo of your no... oh no!
Stop are you really are scaring me!
Where have you been and look what have you done?
You're a woman, woman, tell me:
what do you mean that you're a woman now?
How many arms have been around you?
Should have to let you know
And you answer why, and you answer who
it doesn't matter, you know, or does it.
Do you recall the turquoise water too wide?
Green rocks and sandy white floor?
What is the color of you're asking eyes?
No, I won't answer, you no more!
Oh silver ocean, silver ocean, silver sea!
You were so clear and so transparent, just like me! 		          (2 t)
Our bikes abandoned, on the hill side in the hot afternoon
we stretching down under dark trees
a daisy dandling from your pixie smile
this crazy yearning to tease
our love at sudden you come silent between
a frown is worring  your face
there's no more daisy where your smile has been
come on: "donna", oh please, keep yours hands away"!
Where have you been and look what have you done?
You're a woman, woman, woman woman, tell me
what do you mean that you're a woman now?
How many arms have slipped around you?
Should I have you to go?
And you answer why, and you answer who
it doesn't matter, you know, or does it.
Do you recall the purple waves we would ride?
Your laughter touching back for?
Beyond your eyes what stump burning inside?
I'll be just feeling you'll never grow
Oh silver ocean, silver ocean, silver sea!
You were so clear and so transparent, just like me! 		          (2 t)
Oh silver ocean silver ocean!  (2 times)
A WOMAN AS A FRIEND (1978)
(Una donna per amico)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
It could be that I don't know what I'm doin'
to have you for a friend to be my ruin
but I just wanna live my life in freedom
and leave the joys of love who doesn't need them!
I love you for your strength, and for your weakness
a woman as a friend is foolish.
Excitement and intrigue becomes the passion
and though I know that it's latest fashion.
The consequences are that we suffer
in turns we talk about each other's lovers.
It seems to be that you have plenty of them
a woman as a friend can be a problem.
You say you're falling in love?
Babe I know that man is not your type!
This is the good time in a week
and I suspect it's just another high.
All that you do is what it you please!
You never listen to me anyway
Go on just do as you please!
I see you later, in the usual place!
This friendship is a silly fine disaster!
I chose you for a friend and not a master!
Oh no matter what you say it's an illusion
and all it does it's spinning with confusion!
I tell myself I love you like a brother
and all the time I want you as a lover!
You think I'm falling in love?
It's nothing that I can't rise above!
I know you think that men are all fools!
And jealousy is a game to lose!
So now you see what I am
just another man.
Don't want to hear what you've done
we could be having some it
we could be having some fun!
This friendship is a silly fine disaster!
I chose you for a friend and not a master!
Oh I just wanna live my life in freedom
and leave the joys of love who doesn't need them!
I love you for your strength, and for your weakness
a woman as a friend is foolish.
Oh silver ocean silver ocean silver sea! (4 times)
Yeah
the sunrise when it raising it spreaded in to the grey
and shadows of the night are slowly slip away
the gardens and the meadows
are the colors of the summer of the sky
and of the eyes of every woman full of love
in every woman in love!
Oh silver ocean silver ocean silver sea! (4 times)
FREEDOM SONG (1976)
(Il mio canto libero)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
In a wearying world
where we're always wrong
I hear a voice inside of me, freedom song!
There's a universe
shading in it's skies
just beyond the boundaries, of your eyes!
Feel the new born feeling, tears have been concealing
it tries from the two of us, and flies!
Flouts above the pointers and accusers
saver raises from the loosers
held above the birds breath
and nothing but our love!
In a wearying world
prisoner of fear
I can sing a freedom song, you're here!
And the young is truth
mercy's with the old
shaking of the mystery, my fault!
Sparkle is sensation, sadder rare relation!
Come to clear the apathy, from my lives!
The phantom see before us
vanishing the sunlight on the forest
in the shining images we'll find
a shelter with our love!
nothing but our love!
We know we're a world
fears are never fear
I can sing a freedom song, freedom song!
And the young is truth
mercy's with the old.
Shaking of the mystery, the mystery!
In a wearying world
prisoner of fear
I can sing a freedom song, you're here!
And the young is truth
mercy's with the old
shaking of the mistery, my fault!
Sparkle is sensation, sadder rare relation!
Come to clear the apathy, from my lives!
The phantom see before us
vanishing the sunlight on the forest
in the shining images we'll find
a shelter with our love!
TO LOVE A BIT (1976)
(Amarsi un pò)
(Battisti - Mogol - Powell)
To love a bit
is like drinking water
I heard them sing
that brave in saughter
feeling in any anywhere
it's just a plan myster
look close and you're near
dont let doubt in the fear no!
To love a bit
is simply rising
and hard to learn
to keep on dying.
Your feelings are parade
the fright the masquerade
tell you you can elude
that silly solitude.
But now
but now to really someone!
______________________ sharing
it's like kind to fly
wings love that playing.
Love ___________ no mistakes
tht's trouble once to break
sadness and habitude
but set ____________ I got elude
nothing getting better
nothing you haven't
belong we together
inside of us
will live forever!
But now
but now to really someone!
______________________ sharing
it's like kind to fly
wings love that playing.
nothing getting better
nothing you haven't
belong we together
inside of us
will live forever!
I THINK OF YOU (1978)
(E penso a te)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
When I'm working 	     and on my own
In the traffic 		as I drive home
On the telephone to her	I think of you
How are you doing? 	     She says "Hallo"
Did you miss me? 	     I've missed you so
I just smile and look away     and think of you.
I don't know what you're doing now
or who you're with right now
but I could surely tell you, what you're thinkin'.
This town's too big - time's to be for you and me
for people such as we
are wanting one another yet still searching...
Look it's late, I've got to run
I guess it wasn't too much fun
as the taxi drives us home 	I think of you
I don't know what you're doing now
or who you're with by now
but I could surely tell you, what you're thinkin'.
This town's too big for you and me
for people such as we
are wanting one another yet still searching...
In the darkness 	I think of you
I close my eyes 	I think of you
I can't sleep		I think of you
STILL I JUST KEEP
FORGOTTEN 'BOUT YOU (1976)
(Eppur mi son scordato di te)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
Still I just keep forgotten 'bout you
how did happen can't say
no use I couldn't find an excuse
about it blooming away.
A skip across a meadow so green
what does it mean?....
Ah! A nothing situation
isn't a worth your desperation!
It's just a game love
and not a flame love!
Dont' cry my little people
if my finger ain't got a tickle!
It's just a game love
and not a flame love!
You know I love you
and I'm a man
who loves completely!
Still I just keep forgotten 'bout you
days I didn't say no
why
sing of all I made to go trough
I'm a bully I know.
A skip across a meadow so green
what does it mean?...
Ah! A nothing situation
isn't a worth your desperation!
It's just a game love
and not a flame love!
Dont' cry my little people
if my finger ain't got a tickle!
It's just a game love
and not a flame love!
You know I love you
and I'm a man
who loves completely!
A situation isn't worth  	yeah
desperation isn't worth
a desperation
love (3 times)
desperation isn't worth
A skip across a meadow so green...
OUR DEAR ANGEL (1976)
(Il nostro caro angelo)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
The dark cave of the lion
still exists today
They say you just can't help but fallin' in
Don't believe that false cliché
Just look at our dear angel
he gathers roots to eat and then
he sleeps under the thicket by the maple tree
but slave he'll never be
The looking glass the skylarks loved
now flashes rainbows uselessly on the ground
like those good-time girls who come
in the night to sell to you
a merry basket of love but inside no love's found
It's fears and alienation
not what you like for me to say
The wrinkles are too many centuries' wide
can't masquerade them away
Just look at our dear angel
You know he's young inside
The nets above won't ever let him really fly
but still he keeps on trying
and tall cathedrals block the light
you'd think his white white wings
weren't white anymore
but are filtering in the darkness
hope comes shining through
and pointing to the blue
that was hidden before.
Keep on tryng
no it's hard
I know it's hard
Fears and alienation
but what you left for me to say
the wrinkles have too many centuries wide
can masquerade them away.
Just look at our dear angel
LET'S GO SEE A MOVIE (1978)
(Al cinema)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
Going for a walk
every time we rock is the same
I don't wanna talk
let's just drop the subject O.k?
Yes, you played your life
I won't have a chance to be win
let's go see a movie
if we make it fast we get in
Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, and Dunaway.
Let's go in! I love Dunaway!
There's one best seat here!
I'd say I love you dear!
Look at her! She's just the way I wish you were!
Sun or rain! She loves you and she won't complain!
And after all he's just like me!
Why can't you understand me, it's not hard to do?
Look at her! Look at you!
What's De Niro got
why is he so much hotter than me
he's the hero but
with a woman like that who wouldn't be.
That's what I call a woman
she would even kill to be with him
her love is super human
whatever he does, she'll forgives him
she's understanding and demanding
and as above she doesn't drive in what the one!
So drop the mooding! And what a moving!
Look at her! She's just the way I wish you were!
Sun or rain! She loves you and she won't complain!
And after all he's just like me!
Why can't you understand me, it's not hard to do?
Look at her! Look at you!
Nobody getting in
okay I'm sorry
Going in a hurry!
I got you tonight?
Just for a change
What would you say?
Look at her! She's just the way I wish you were!
Sun or rain! She loves you and she won't complain!
And after all he's just like me!
Why can't you understand me, it's not hard to do?
Look at her! Look at you!
TAKE IT AS IT COMES (1978)
(Prendila così)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
Prendila così
try to make it easy on yourself
Take it as it comes, oh baby
wish I could say something that would help.
Funny how it change, sad the way we change
sad to think to others
we couldn't live without each other
And them since we learned to say.
And let's not close our hands
just becouse it's falling apart.
What we have is gone or maybe
it's was simply wrong that it would start.
Wasn't meant to be
prendila così
I don't want to fade it
girl we're old enough to take it
strong enough to turn and walk away.
And it's fashion stay and maybe walking
hand in hand with somebody new
Oh I think it was keep kind of walking
let's go and do it
we've been so much together baby
we can never feel the way we were before
And trying to pretend just to surrender
oh don't hurt me much more.
Prendila così
that's the way we said it should be
It's crazy as it comes oh darling
no more sadder songs are tragedies
must be on my way through I'd love to stay
there'll be much more sorrow
if we wait until tomorrow
No, I think it's easier this way.
Wasn't meant to be
prendila così
I don't want to fade it
girl we're old enough to take it
strong enough to turn and walk away.
And it's fashion stay and maybe walking
hand in hand with somebody new
Oh I think it was keep kind of walking
let's go and do it
we've been so much together baby
we can never feel the way we were before
And trying to pretend just to surrender
oh don't hurt me much more.
Prendila così
that's the way we said it should be
It's crazy as it comes oh darling
no more sadder songs are tragedies.
Prendila così!
PAIN IS GONE (1978)
(Nessun dolore)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
Hey, you're looking, a little troubled
surprised that I'm not moved by what you've said
well it seems to me
like just like you haven't even spoken
and as far as I'm concerned
you might as well as saved your breath
you say you've got a lover.
that's alright, you know that's fine by me?
You're expecting me to break down and suffer
like some corny hero in a tragedy?
Well I got news for you!
This time I'm over you
the pain is gone! gone, gone
There'll be no heartache!
No tears or heartbreak!
The pain is gone!
When you were hung-up undecided
you told me it was me or your freedom
as i turned away and nothing was said
you put it down to jealousy
for lovers that were in your head?
And so, i got to thinking
I had to be some kind of crazy fool
to expect you to act like a woman
not a baby, fresh out of nursery school!
Well I got news for you!
This time I'm over you
the pain is gone! gone, gone
There'll be no heartache!
No tears or heartbreak!
The pain is gone! (2 times)
Your love came like a rock through a window
ah, but it was just a show with lights that you borrowed
all the clever speeches you made
all the pretty scenes were just a masquerade
the emotions and the love you were faking
were seeds tossed upon the wind
all the time the spell was breaking
and my love was dying
and my love was dying
and my love was dying!...
Well I got news for you!
This time I'm over you
the pain is gone! gone, gone
There'll be no heartache!
No tears or heartbreak!
The pain is gone! (2 times)
AFRAID OF FALLING (1978)
(Aver paura d'innamorarsi troppo)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
Afraid of falling
I've she loved
I
to much in love with someone

LADY  (1978)
(Donna selvaggia donna)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)
All the fire in you
it's a fire inside of me.
But you can't carry on
either loving or hating me.
Be as childish as you please
but don't confuse everything with being free.
It's a pleasure to me
listen into a symphony
but if a stick you would say
how a sensitive can you be.
Is it possible my lovely
everything is it beautiful or ugly?
But
a lady a lady a lady Mary you will say
I love everything you say
I love your dreams

dubbi che non riesco a sentire quello che dice lui, potete aiutarmi a
correggerla mentre ascoltate quelle canzoni? controllate tutte le
parole per vedere se va bene quello che ho scritto.

Intanto grazie a te, ci mancavano credo le versioni provini in inglese.
Purtroppo io non posso esserti d'aiuto in quanto non ho che poche nozioni di 
inglese.
Piuttosto puoi controllare qualcosina nel sito:

Ciao Marco proverò a sentire i brani in questione ma non ti
garantisco nulla in quanto il mio inglese non è molto avanzato
