sehnsucht

wishing to wish
I rubbed an old oil lamp,
I rubbed it waiting for him.

desiderando desiderare
ho strofinato una vecchia lampada ad olio,
l'ho strofinata aspettando che apparisse.

Coldplay - Lovers In Japan

Lovers, keep on the road you’re on
Runners, until the race is run
Soldiers, you’ve got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong

They are turning my head out
To see what I’m all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, we are gonna get out

Tonight maybe we’re gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohh ohh…
Dreaming of when the morning comes

They are turning my head out
To see what I’m all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out

Reign of love
I can’t let go
To the sea I offer
This heavy load

Locusts will
Lift me up
I’m just a prisoner
In a reign of love

Locusts will
Let us stop
I wish I’d spoken
To the reign of love

a-ha: Did Anyone Approach You (music video)

Did Anyone Approach You



You never look up
You never look back
You never say anything based on fact
You've got issues going way back
You never say 'hi'
You never say much
You never make an effort to stay in touch
I've got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here

Did anybody feel you?
Did anybody deal you?
Did anybody make you do some things now?
Did anyone approach you?
Did anybody coach you?
Did anybody tell you what to say now?
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all

You never looked up
You never look back
You never did anything in between
Are things black and white with you
You never believed
You never belonged
Never made milestones to call your own
I've got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here

Did anybody hide you?
Did anybody fight you?
Did anyone decide to do some harm now?
Did anybody read you?
Did anybody bleed you?
Did anybody feed you lots of junk now?
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
Hopeless - it's not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all

Something happened here

La Fata ( Edoardo Bennato)

C'è solo un fiore in quella stanza
e tu ti muovi con pazienza
la medicina è amara ma
tu già lo sai che la berrà

Se non si arrende tu lo tenti
e sciogli il nodo dei tuoi fianchi
e quel vestito scopre già
chi coglie il fiore impazzirà

Farà per te qualunque cosa
e tu sorella e madre e sposa
e tu regina o fata, tu
non puoi pretendere di più

E forse è per vendetta
e forse è per paura
o solo per pazzia
ma da sempre
tu sei quella che paga di più
se vuoi volare ti tirano giù
e se comincia la caccia alla streghe
la strega sei tu

E insegui sogni da bambina
e chiedi amore e sei sincera
non fai magie, ne trucchi, ma
nessuno ormai ci crederà

C'è chi ti urla che sei bella
che sei una fata, sei una stella
poi ti fa schiava, però no
chiamarlo amore non si può

C'è chi ti esalta, chi ti adula
c'è chi ti espone anche in vetrina
si dice amore, però no
chiamarlo amore non si può
