And if you come back into my mind I'll just think that you're not there That I'm suffering unnecessarily because I know, yes I know I do know that you will not come back Without you, I without you Alone I'll go on and I'll sleep ,I'll wake up, I will walk, I will work, I'll do anything , I will do something, Yes, I'll do something something I will do for sure: cry , yes, I will cry., I'll cry ...

My God, no - Recorded live in studio The lyrics describe the excitement he's going through as he's waiting for his woman ( not knowing yet if she will arrive or not, doubt eating him alive .... the doorbell ringing already thrills him immensely which is emphasized by organ etc) to come having dinner at his place and then what goes on during and after dinner...The energy and feel are obvious....No translation necessary....But I'm providing it anyway below....Music ( and his voice, sound) talks clearly enough.... https://lyricstranslate.com/en/dio-mio-no-oh-my-god-no.html At one point (almost near the end...all track was recorded live in studio with improvisations) Lucio shouts " Baldan, Baldan, Baldan" ...He is addressing / urging the organ player Dario Baldan Bembo to start his solo Here too drummer is Franz Di Cioccio ( who used to be Lucio's sessionman in many albums)...Later to found "Premiata Forneria Marconi"..... Infact almost all of (what years later will become) PFM is playing in the track above......plus Dario Baldan Bembo on organ ...And Alberto Radius-RIP on guitar ( band "Formula 3")

Loving Each Other A Bit ( from "Io, Tu, Noi, Tutti" - Me, you, us, all....Rec'd in Los Angeles 1977) Gerry Conway (who used to play w Cat Stevens) on drums Loving each other a bit is like drinking it’s easier to breath it’s enough to look at each other and then come closer a bit and not letting go ever to be afraid, no no! Loving a bit is like blooming a bit it helps you know, not to die whitout hiding showing it is possible to escape loneliness But, but, liking each other no to take part into this is difficult almost like flying how many obstacles and how much suffering and also discouragements and tears in order to become ourselves really ourselves united indivisible close together but unattainable But, but, liking each other no to take part into this is difficult almost like flying in order to become ourselves really ourselves united indivisible close together but unattainable

It's not Francesca On drums Franz Di Cioccio...Later to found Premiata Forneria Marconi, one of the most famous Italian bands... Riff of 2nd and ending part just beautiful You're wrong, the one you saw is not is not Francesca she's always at home waiting for me it's not Francesca if there was a man, then no, it can't be her Francesca never asked for more who's wrong, I'm sure, it's you Francesca never asked for more 'cause she lives for me Like the other one, she's blond but it's not Francesca she was dressed in red, I know it's not Francesca if she was hugging(him) then no, it can't be her Francesca never asked for more who's wrong, I'm sure, it's you Francesca never asked for more 'cause she lives for me she lives for me she lives for me

He sings / plays 3 diff. parts / characters ( 2 men , 1 woman) in this song It's his fault! It's his fault! Believe me! You weren't there... you weren't there to defend me! And his determination was stronger than my will. And the innocent one... and the innocent one will pay. I know you won't believe... you won't believe me, but it's his fault! It's his fault! I don't care if you are going to drink false tears. I can tell you they're salty, I already drank them, by now. Anyway, everything she says is not real. Her sweetness has been even stronger than my honesty. And now, you're gonna believe her... you're gonna believe her. Poor my fall friend, I know: you're gonna believe her. I don't know... I don't know who I'd believe to. I just know that... I just know that, one of... just one of the three of you is gonna die! She was mine... she isn't anymore. Now, none knows who she belongs to... Go away! Go away! Move! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucio_Battisti
