Goodnight moon - Shivaree:
There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone
There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall
What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out
And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
Westlife - My Love:
An empty street, an empty house
I hold inside my heart
I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller.
I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together.(oh yeah)
And all my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems soo far
Chorus:
Soo I say it in a prayer
And hope my dreams will take it there
Where the skies are bule, the sea is once again... my love.
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again... my love.
I try to read, I know the work
I left them with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking. (oh no)
I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together.(oh yeah)
And all my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems soo far
Soo I say it in a prayer
And hope my dreams will take it there
Where the skies are blue, the sea is once again... my love.
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again...
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You're all I'm thinking of
Reaching for the love that seems soo far
Soo I say it in a prayer
And hope my dreams will take its there
Where the skies are blue, the sea is once again... my love.
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again... my love.
Say it in a prayer (my sweet love)
Dreams will take it there
Where the skies are blue (woah yeah), the sea is once again my love. (oh my
love)
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again.... My Love.

Hello to each and every citizen of The Illuminated Realm :)
As an expert lurker I hope not to interrupt the normal cycle of this
charming world, therefore I truly hope I'll be forgiven for my rough attempt
to this translation; please bear in mind I am one of the youngest guests in
the land (being only 16), so I urge you to be tolerant.
My regards to our beloved queens
My admiration to all the valiant nights
Girtin8
Nel testo trascritto da Lugg c'è qualche errore, percui ecco il testo
corretto
My love
An empty street
An empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together, oh yeah
And all my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seem so far
Chorus:
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love
I try to live
I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking, oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together, oh yeah
And all my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seem so far
Chorus:
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again my love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You're all I'm thinking of
I'm reaching for a love that seems so far
And this is my translation, open to every possible comment and correction.
Amore Mio
Una strada vuota
Una casa vuota
Un buco nel mio cuore
Sono tutto solo
Le stanze si fanno più piccole
Mi domando come
Mi domando perchè
Mi domando dove sono
I giorni che abbiamo avuto
Le canzoni cantate insieme
E a tutto il mio amore
Continuerò per sempre ad aggrapparmi
Cercando l'amore che sembra così lontano
RIT:
Allora dico una breve preghiera
E spero che i miei sogni mi portino là
Dove i cieli sono blu
Per vederti ancora una volta amore mio
Oltre il mare, da costa a costa
Per trovare il luogo che amo di più
Dove i campi sono verdi
Per vederti ancora una volta amore mio
Cerco di vivere
Vado al lavoro
Rido con gli amici
Ma non posso evitare di pensarci
Mi domando come
Mi domando perchè
Mi domando dove sono
I giorni che abbiamo avuto
Le canzoni cantate insieme
E a tutto il mio amore
Continuerò per sempre ad aggrapparmi
Cercando l'amore che sembra così lontano
RIT:
Allora dico una breve preghiera
E spero che i miei sogni mi portino là
Dove i cieli sono blu
Per vederti ancora una volta amore mio
Oltre il mare, da costa a costa
Per trovare il luogo che amo di più
Dove i campi sono verdi
Per vederti ancora una volta amore mio
Per tenerdi tra le mie braccia
Per giurarti il mio amore
Per dirti con il cuore
Che sei tutto ciò che penso
Cerco l'amore che sembra così lontano

 Goodnight moon - Shivaree:
<Sono un pessimo traduttore ma comunque la traduzione è più o meno questa :
    Ho inchiodato la porta,
    messo vetro sul prato,
puntine da disegno sul pavimento
e dormo sempre con le pistole accanto quando non ci sei.
C'è un coltello vicino al letto
ho il telefono in mano
un cane sul pavimento
e un po di soldi sul comodino
Quando sono solo tutto questo sognare finisce e proprio non ce la faccio.
Cosa dovrei fare, sono proprio come un bambino
cosa succede se si spengono le luci
e forse e sento il lamento del vento fuori la porta , lui mi ha seguito a
casa.
E allora buonanotte luna
Voglio il sole
Se non è qui presto
potrei esser morto
No non sarà mai troppo presto quando dirò buonanotte luna
C'è uno squalo nella piscina
una strega nell'albero
un vecchio vicino di casa ammattito che mi osserva
e passi forti e pesanti nel corridoio
c'è qualcosa sotto il letto
adesso è nel cespuglio
c'è un grosso corvo nero appollaiato sul mio davanzale
e sento qualcosa che gratta attraverso il muro
Cosa dovrei fare etc etc
Yours
Sal

io nn so se è giusto il mio testo anche perchè l'ho preso da internet...

Comunque grazie  mille per la traduzione!

P.S. Ma sei italiano o inglese?

 Goodnight moon - Shivaree:

<Dear Girtin8 ,
If you are really 16 and you are really Italian please come to Trento and
attend the school I teach in.
Then I would be sitting on my fat keyster and make a fast lira doing zilch.
Yours
Sal

LOL, Raymot!!! Now please... go on and tell us all about the practical
differences of it. You see, as a student of that never-ending surprise
called English, that would simply make my day  :-))

Dear Sal,
I am indeed a young Italian student, who daily fights with his classmates'
indifference or even disgust towards English  *sighs*   meaning that during
English class my favorite hobby is rolling my very own thumbs on and on
endlessly.
Anyway, I just want you to know that I admire you and all those good guys
out there who have the strenght to face entire classrooms of not-so-eager
students, kudos to you.
Girtin8
Sal saith

 not-so-eager students, kudos to you.
The word masochist comes to mind too. ;-))))
Auguri,
Cheers,

You know, I've often wondered how to pronounce "eheh".  ;-))

of your choice, that way it's on topic but interesting
hmm *clears his throat*  eheh, I would do it with such huge pleasure, but I
normally save that for my PE class, LOL  ;)

As always, my English may need your corrections: please go ahead!

Aw, come on. You're fake. Go on, admit it! :-))

And dance like no one's watching

Here comes loki, the die-hard optimist. I had English teachers in high
school (and that was a Liceo Linguistico if you please!) who couldn't
even s p e l l :-)


Isa
Well, if student means "he who studies" to you, well then, I got to say it
out loud, I belong to another category... *flashes an innocent smile*
Seriously though, that description really matches me; me humble servant tell
no lies to me noble queen  :-)))))
With respect,
Girtin8


Now you come to mention it, Princess Isabella, I think I met someone called
Girtin8 the other day. He is a 51-year old accountant living(?) in Bradford
with 2.5 children
Stephen

with 2.5 children
ROTFL, please, please, please, with all due respect to accountants, could
you at least make me a.... don't know, 26-year old football player living in
Milan with 2 single, one-piece children (don't ever want to know about  that
poor 0.5 of a baby left in Bradford, is it some kind of illness? ^____^
NOW, once and for all, I, Girtin8 confirm my age of 16, soon to be 17 for
that matter, I confirm my Italian nationality and I'm gonna prove it to
you...
If you don't wanna get blind or lose for about 10 minutes your sanity I
strongly suggest that you don't read further....
"Ma quanto è bello andare in giro
con le ali sotto i piedi
Se hai 'na Vespa Special che
Ti toglie i problemi
La scuola non va
Ma una Vespa, una donna non ho
Ho una Vespa, domenica è gia
E una Vespa mi porterà, mi porterà
Fuori città!
Na na na na nan a na"
Rimasto qualche dubbio?  :)))))))
Beh, perlomeno si capisce il frequente lingering su MTV Italia, chissà,
forse anche Girtin8 from Bradford.... LOL
Girtin8 -  who warned ya!! If you've read those lyrics, I invite you to move
your keisters (thanks Sal for this amazing word, eheh) straight to the
bathroom and stick your head under some cold water..... you're gonna feel
muuuuchh better :)

 couldn't even s p e l l :-)
Moi? An optimist? Ya gotta be kidding! A reformed cynic maybe... ;-)
Mind you it was optimistic of me to expect a teacher to allow a student
to do their own thing in class. And here there are teachers who can't
spell either, it seems to be a low priority these days.
Cheers,
Loki

Here comes Isa, the die-hard optimist. I had English teachers in high school
who couldn't even speak _Italian_. And they were not English, either. : )

(I must say-- I quite like this "Princess" business. Sounds so
pleasantly less stuffy than "Queen"...)

What the hell are you going on about? I *am* young! Jeez, the guts
these yobs have!

Yobs? Ooo, there's a giveaway! Did you hear that?! She's oppressing us!!

Don't tell me, you hadn't noticed yet?? Honest, that's one of the
perks of this job...

Dear Loki,
Would you happen to know if they served Bolly at their meetings?
Just wondering as I myself am thinking of reforming.

Dear Isabella,
Such is the price one pays for even contemplating a demotion.
HRH it was and HRH it should remain.

Dear Stephen,
Didn't he also have a cat called 'Ginger'? I am almost certain I met the
very same gentleman in the McDonalds at Bologna station a few weeks ago,
mistakenly thinking he was in Majorca. Accountants! What do they know.

 My admiration to all the valiant nights
Dear Girtin8,
Somewhat belatedly, I write to extend greetings to he whom quite possibly is
indeed our youngest subject. If nothing else, you has proved that your claim
of being an expert lurker is no idle boast.
You have entered in humour, courteousness and in the spirit of the group. In
short, well met young man.


 Just wondering as I myself am thinking of reforming.
Dear Bambi,
Drinks are up to the attendees.
As far as food goes, only bitter salad greens as a reminder, followed by
Pavlova as a carrot, so to speak... ;-)))))
Cheers,
Loki

Ultra Lingua is a small company that makes Macintosh and Windows
bilingual dictionaries (you can learn about us at
http://www.ultralingua.com
).
We have several dictionaries currently available, but we do not have an
English-Italian dictionary, which we are eager to offer.  We are
currently looking for bilingual individuals with a good sensitivity for
language to work on the project.  While many of our authors are
university professors or professional translators, this is not
absolutely necessary if your skills are at a very high level.
This is not a full-time job; it is work that can be done over the
course of many weeks or even months, with instruction from our office. 
Some data is already available, and the person we are looking for will
be called upon to edit and enhance the data we have.  Payment is done
mostly as royalties upon sales.
If you are interested in this position, please contact me directly. 
Otherwise, please feel free to distribute this message among other
groups.
We may also be looking for Italian-French in the near future.
Thanks in advance!

I wonder what anti-piracy steps will be in force, since piracy will
affect remuneration directly.

HRH it was and HRH it should remain.
Now it is I who am beginning to get confused, and it can't be the
excess of Grignolino I drank with the Chinese dinner last night. (I
had to, in honour of a friend's birthday)
So far it has always been the offspring of kings and queens I referred
to as His/Her Royal Majesty (HRH), and the ruling monarchs (kings and
queens) as His/Her Majesty (HM). Wouldn't that make Isa, your good
self and the other queens HMs?
I've been wondering for some time about the pecking order in the Realm
and I just had to ask this.

This of course is a similar argument to how many angels can dance on the 
head of a pin.
Being a quadrogynarchy, are the queens all as majestic as a unimonarch
would be, or do they share the majesty, and thus being each quartimajestic?
Are they each Royally one fourth as High as a Uniroyal Highness? 
Or are they a Quadrinity, comprising four Queens in One Majesty?
Perhaps these are mysteries that we were never meant to understand - or is
it simply that I have forgotten to take my medications?

The mind boggles-- 
I'll have it the U2 way: <<we're one, but we're not the same.>>
