Song 3

Ecco tre segnalazioni musicali per iniziare l'estate nel più malinconico dei modi.
Ma sono state tre scoperte eccezionali.
Impossibile non condividerle.
Buon ascolto. E buona traduzione.


Joshua Radin - Someone else's life


Somehow
I'm leading someone else's life
I cut a star down
with my knife
And right now
I still see the way the moon
plays this tune
Though our nights died

My hands shake
My knees quake
It's everyday
Same way

'Cause then came you
Then there's you
I keep your picture
in my worn through shoes

Then there's you
Then came you
When I'm lost
I look at my picture of you

And somehow
I'll make tonight our own
Show you every way I've grown
since I met you

And right now
I'll be the boy in your next song
I'll learn the parts and play along
if you let me

My hands shake
My knees quake
It's everyday
Same way

'Cause then came you
Then there's you
I keep your picture
in my worn through shoes

Then there's you
Then came you
When I'm lost
I look at my picture of you

If you let me
I'll show the world to you
Yes
If you let me
I'll know just what to do

'Cause then came you
Then there's you
I keep you picture
in my worn through shoes

When I'm lost
in your eyes
I see
the way for me


Camille - Pour que l'amour me quitte


Endormie
cheveux mouillés
bras repliés
retrouvée fenêtre ouverte
l'air
par la fenêtre

Pour que l'amour me quitte

En dormant j'ai rêvé
des milles lianes
Pagayé,
pagayé

Pour que l'amour me quitte

Réveillée
la lumière pâle
des murs de l'hôpital
trop aimer c'est pas normal
un cœur si mal
accroché,
décroché

Pour que l'amour me quitte
Amour


The Magnetic field - All my little words


You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay
You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But I could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
Not if I could write for you
The sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I'll do
Not for all my little words

Now that you've made me want to die
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
And I could make you pay and pay
But I could never make you stay
