melody

Dire si, dire mai non è facile, sai
And all the world around you seems to slip and disappear
Io non so più chi sei, non mi importa chi sei
I know for certain I won’t bother you with nostalgia

Ma vedrai un altro me in un sogno fragile
Riderai come se non ti avessi amato mai
Cercherai un altro me oltre all’ombra di un caffè
Troverai solo me
Se mi fermo un attimo, io non so più chi sei

Qui si vive così, day by day, night by night
But all the world around us slips away and disappears
I can’t live in your eyes, I can’t read in your mind
But someone hit me and I fell into your heart, my dear

And you’ll fly over lands where your eyes can’t find the end
Up on mountains, down lakes, through the clouds, out of your pains
You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine, all your troubles you won’t mind
Then you’ll land in my heart
Being so far away from you just makes me feel so dead

E vedrai un’altra te, quasi invincibile
Viva come non mai ed è li che tu mi avrai
Oltre false magie l’orizzonte sarai
Splenderai, splenderai, splenderai, splenderai

parafrasando

today is one of those days. great things are happening. lots of stuff with which I should keep myself busy. and no one special to share this with.

should I listen to business magnolia or new age magnolia...


"No, it's not so bad. I'm lucky, I know. I just. . .I feel like I'm never gonna have it. . .the whole package, you know? That person, that couple life, and I swear, I hate admitting it because I fancy myself Wonder Woman, but. . .I really want it – the whole package," Lorelai said, looking into her coffee cup

doris teaches

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

we believe in u

On Friday I will have to hold a class. We could almost say my first class, at least the first after a long time.
Of course I am a little nervous.

A colleague suggested that I bring some cookies so that the students will love me.

A friend suggested that I wear a mini-skirt.

It's nice when people believe in your potential...

se tu non torni

Se tu non torni
non tornerà neanche l'estate
e resteremo qui io e mia madre
a guardare la pioggia.

Se tu non torni
non torneranno neanche le rondini
e resteremo qui io e mio padre
a guardare il cielo.

Se tu non torni
non tornerà nemmeno il sole
e resteremo qui io e mio fratello a guardare ai terra...
...Che era così bella quando ci correvi
con un profumo d'erba che tu respiravi
era così grande se l'attraversavi e non finiva mai.

Così stanotte voglio una stella a farmi compagnia
che ti serva da lontano ad indicarti la via
così amore amore amore, amore dove. sei?
Se non torni non c'è vita nei giorni miei.

Se tu non torni
non torneranno i bei tramonti
e resterò con me a contemplare la sera...
...Che era così bella quando ci correvi
con un profumo d'erba che tu respiravi
era così grande se l'attraversavi e non finiva mai.

Così stanotte voglio una stella a farmi compagnia
che ti serva da lontano ad indicarti la via
così amore amore amore, amore dove sei?
Se tu non torni non c'è vita nei giorni miei.

happy man

You know, Jill, you remind me of my mother. She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was, for an hour or for a month - he must have been a happy man.
