A beautiful discovery

Portami oltre le apparenze,
oltre le stupide credenze oltre le lotte, oltre la sorte
portami
portami
portami
oltre
portami

you

you? again here?

what brought you around? the thought of him? the overloaded days at work?

I love and hate you at the same time

forget about today

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

proud of

A couple of years ago I had a discussion with a German friend.

"Are you proud of being Italian?"
"Yes, I do."
"Why?"
Benigni helped me today to remember one of the reasons.

Art. 1

Italy is a democratic republic, founded on work.
Sovereignty belongs to the people, which exercises it in the forms and within the limits of the Constitution.

Art. 2

The Republic recognizes and guarantees the inviolable rights of man, as an individual, and in the social groups where he expresses his personality, and demands the fulfilment of the intransgressible duties of political, economic, and social solidarity.

Art. 3

All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinions, personal and social conditions.
It is the duty of the Republic to remove those obstacles of an economic and social nature which, really limiting the freedom and equality of citizens, impede the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic and social organization of the country.

Art. 4

The Republic recognizes the right of all citizens to work and promotes those conditions which will make this right effective.
Every citizen has the duty, according to his possibilities and individual choice, to carry out an activity or a function which contributes to the material or spiritual progress of society.

Art. 5

The Republic, one and indivisible, recognizes and promotes local autonomies; implements in those services which depend on the State the fullest measure of administrative decentralization; accords the principles and methods of its legislation to the requirements of autonomy and decentralization.

Art. 6

The Republic safeguards by means of appropriate measures linguistic minorities.

Art. 7

The State and the Catholic Church are, each within its own order, independent and sovereign.
Their relations are regulated by the Lateran Treaties. Changes to the Treaties accepted by both parties do not require the procedure for constitutional amendment.

Art. 8

All religious confessions are equally free before the law.
Religious confessions other than Catholic have the right to organize in accordance with their own statutes, in so far as they are not in conflict with Italian laws.
Their relations with the State are regulated by law on the basis of an accord between the respective representatives.

Art. 9

The Republic promotes the development of culture and scientific and technical research.
It safeguards landscape and the historical and artistic heritage of the Nation.

Art. 10

Italian laws conform to the generally recognized tenets of international law.
The legal status of foreigners is regulated by law in conformity with international provisions and treaties.
The foreigner who is denied in his own country the real exercise of the democratic liberties guaranteed by the Italian Constitution has the right of asylum in the territory of the Republic, in accordance with the conditions established by law.
The extradition of a foreigner for political offences is not admitted.

Art. 11

Italy rejects war as an instrument of aggression against the freedoms of others peoples and as a means for settling international controversies; it agrees, on conditions of equality with other states, to the limitations of sovereignty necessary for an order that ensures peace and justice among Nations; it promotes and encourages international organizations having such ends in view.

Art. 12

The flag of the Republic is the Italian tricolour: green, white and red, in three vertical bands of equal dimensions.

en attendant

My speaking is my dancing

Cela peut absolument concerner un grand public, celui qui va au spectacle comme on va contempler un crépuscule. Les choses se frottent l’une à l’autre, il y a des intensités de consonance et de dissonance, des milliers d’intensités très fi nes, qui clignotent. C’est désormais le soir, on attend. C’est l’heure des états intermédiaires de la perception.

abbracci

mi abbracci. mi asciughi le lacrime. mi dici che basta crederci.

mi baci. mi accarezzi. mi ascolti.

sopporti le mie manie. ridi con me. mi tieni le mani.

today's motto

Be gentle with those around you

try to be love(d)

Feels like the world doesn’t make any sense
Let go just dance.
Feels like your heart is caving in
Let go just sing.
Cause you’re not alone,
It just feels like that,
But you're not alone
So let it all go just dance.

Throw your hands up in the air,
Forget your troubles, all your cares.
Try to be love, try to be love.
And when the sun begins to set
Reach your hands above your head,
Try to be love, try to be love.

Feels like the world never understands
Let go just dance.
Feels like your heart is breaking again
Again and again and again.
Cause you’re not alone
It just feels like that
You’re not alone
So let it all go just dance.




Throw your hands up in the air,
Forget your troubles, all your cares.
Try to be love, try to be love.
And when the sun begins to set
Reach your hands above your head,
Try to be love, try to be love.

Love’s gonna change your mind
Love’s gonna realize
Love’s gonna change your life
Love is a power
Love is a power inside
Love is the light in your eyes
Love’s gonna change the times
Love is a power
