And I don't even need your love

[Gotye:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye:]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[x2]
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody

bittersweet

Ho sentito
Che ti sei sistemato
Che hai trovato una ragazza
E tu sei sposato ora
Ho sentito
Che i tuoi sogni si sono avverati
Immagino che lei ti abbia dato
Ciò che io non ti davo

Vecchio amico
Perché sei così timido?
Non è da te trattenerti
O nascondere dalla luce

Odio spuntare dal nulla
Non invitata
Ma non ho saputo stare lontano
Non potevo resistere
Speravo che avresti visto il mio viso
E ti saresti ricordato
Che per me
Non è finita

Non importa, troverò
Qualcuno come te
Voglio solo il meglio anche per te
... Non dimenticarti di me
Ti prego
Mi ricordo che avevi detto
"A volte si resta innamorati
Ma a volte invece fa male"

Sai
Come il tempo vola
Solo ieri
Era il nostro momento
Siamo nati e cresciuti
In una foschia d'estate
Uniti nella sorpresa
Dei nostri giorni di gloria

...

Niente si può paragonare
Nessun preoccupazione o problema,
Rimpianti ed errori
Sono ricordi vissuti.
Chi avrebbe immaginato... Come...
Questo avrebbe avuto un gusto
Dolce-amaro

some acoustics

How many times
Have I been waiting by the door
To hear these chimes
To hear that someone debonaire has just arrived
And opened up to see
My world before my eyes
That silhouette creates an image
On the night I can't forget
It has the scent of something special
I can't rest
If I resist temptation
Oh, I know for sure that I will lose the bet

I walk away and suddenly it seems
I'm not alone
In front of me he stands
I stop, before he goes

i've reached the shore

stasera il distacco si fa sentire. e quindi a te, cara shamrock, dedico questi versi

Un punto sei che non ruota mai intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore

e poi qualche riga per me

I’ll get away, get in the car
I’ll reach the shore before sunrise
And I’ll watch the moon and stars
I’ll tell them everything about us

I left last night
I reached the shore
Trying to find everything I lost
In a thousand waves
A million waves
Still, somewhere I am sure

That I will see your face
I will see you there

Morning sun
Before you will rise
Before you’ll come and shine again on us
Let me find, let me find, let me find

Some comfort in the night
Cause I didn’t find what I’ve lost
I’ve reached the shore
And nothing ever changed
In a thousand waves
A million waves
Oh still I look for love

And all I see is your face
So I come back home to you

and it's contagious!

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountaintop
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun

They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience

We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

i'll be yours

if you'll be mine

buona domenica, io vado a fare una gita

her secrets still like songs I'd never learned

Ci sono momenti che si allontanano da te come alcuni pomeriggi che trascorrono.
L'estate ha riscaldato la finestra aperta della sua luna di miele
E lei ha scelto una terra da bruciare, ma il terreno le ricorda
Di cucchiai di legno, i suoi bambini mescolano fiori di Bougainvillea.

Ci sono cose che scivolano via come i nostri infiniti, numerati giorni.
L'autunno ha soffiato via la trapunta dal letto perfetto che lei ha fatto.
E lei ha scelso di credere negli inni che sua madre canta.
La domenica attira i bambini via dai loro mucchi di foglie cadute.

Ci sono navi che navigano e sopravvivono anche dopo che tutti i nostri corpi sono nell'erba.
La primavera chiama i figli di lei fino a che alla fine lei li lascia andare.
E ha scelto dove stare, anche se ha perso il suo anello di nozze
Da qualche parte vicino al barattolo fuori posto di semi di Bougainvillea.

Ci sono cose che non possiamo ricordare, ciechi come la notte che ci trova tutti.
L'inverno rimbocca le coperte ai suoi bambini, le sue bambole di porcellana fragile.
Ma le mie mani ricordano quelle di lei che arrotolano la felce ombreggiata,
Braccia nude, i suoi segreti ancora come canzoni che non ho mai imparato.

Ci sono nomi di là del mare, solo ora penso che
A volte, con le finestre chiuse, lei si siedera' e pensera' a me.
Ma lei ricucira' i vestiti lisi di lui e si baceranno come se sapessero
Che il bambino di lei dorme in tutte le nostre ossa, così spaventato di essere solo.

like this

I have never dreamed it.
Have you ever dreamed a night like this?
I cannot believe it.
I may never see a night like this.
When everything you think is incomplete.
Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek.
Could you ever dream it?
I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this.

How many times,
have I been waiting by the door to hear these chimes?
To hear that some one debonaire has just arrived.
And opened up to see my world before my eyes.
That silhouette creates an image on the night I can't forget.
It has the scent of something special, I can't rest.
If I resist temptation, oh I know for sure that I will lose the bet.

I walk away and suddenly it seems I'm not alone.
In front of me he stands -- I stop, before he goes.

voices

it warms you, it shakes you, it owns you

follow

your heart

close your eyes. this is the rhythm of a winter day, if you just close your eyes

sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling

Touch my skin, and tell me what you’re thinking
Take my hand and show me where we’re going
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me, oh tell me what you’re seeing

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you

See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I’m telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart
and show me, show me what you’re doing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you
I know you’ll find that you believe me
You believe me

Feel the sun on your face
and tell me what you’re thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue
and show me how it tastes

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Tocca la mia pelle, e dimmi che cosa stai pensando
Prendi la mia mano e fammi vedere dove stiamo andando
Sdraiati accanto a me, guardami negli occhi e dimmi, dimmi quello che vedi

Quindi siedi in cima al mondo e dimmi come ti senti
Quello che provi ora è quello che provo per te
Prendi la mia mano e se ti sto mentendo
Sarò sempre da sola
Se sto mentendo

Guarda i miei occhi, portano il tuo riflesso
Guarda le mie labbra e senti le parole che sto dicendo
Dammi la tua fiducia e guarda nel mio cuore
e mostrami, mostrami quello che stai facendo
Quindi siedi in cima al mondo e dimmi come ti senti
Quello che provi ora è quello che provo per te

Prendi la mia mano e se ti sto mentendo
Sarò sempre da sola
Se sto mentendo
Prenditi il tuo tempo, se ti sto mentendo
So che scoprirai che mi credi
Mi credi

Senti il sole sul tuo viso
e dimmi cosa stai pensando
Lascia cadere la neve sulla tua lingua
e mostrami che sapore ha

but I haven't met you yet

I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
So special
But it hasn't happened yet
You are gorgeous
But I haven't met you yet
I remember
But it hasn't happened yet

And if you believe in dreams
Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I, I will meet you
I was peaking

But it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given
My best souvenir
I miss you
But I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
But wouldn't recognize you yet

And if you believe in dreams
Or what is more important
That a dream can come true
I miss you

I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
When will I get my cuddle?
Who are you?
I know by now that you'll arrive
By the time I stop waiting
I miss you

carry on

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven
