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

Here where the sea shines and the wind is strong on an old terrace infront of the Gulf of Sorrento (near Naples) a man hugs a girl after he has cried Afterwards he clears his voice and begins again to sing I care too much for u(Te voglio bene assaje) but, u know, a great deal at his point it has become a chain(e' una catena ormai) that melts the blood in the * veins u know He saw the lights in the middle of the sea he thought of the nights in America** but they where only the lights from the boats*** and the white trace of a propeller He felt the pain of music got up from the piano But when he saw the moon that was coming out from behind a cloud he thought that even death was sweeter He looked into the eyes of the girl those eyes green like the sea then suddenly a tear came out and he believed he was soffocating I care too much for u(Te voglio bene assaje) but, u know, a great deal at his point it has become a chain(e' una catena ormai) that melts the blood in the veins u know Force of the lirica where**** every drama is a false(ogni drama e' un falso) which with a little bit of make-up(che con un po' di trucco) and with the art of mimic u can become someone else but 2 eyes that are watching u(ma due occhi che di guardano) so close and different(eyes of different people)(cosi' vicini e vari) they make you forget the words(ti fan scordare le parole) i get mixed up so everything becomes small even the nights there in America u turn and see your own life(ti volti e vedi la tua vita) like the trace of a propeller but its the life that ends But he didn't think that much the opposite he was feeling already happy and started again to sing I care too much for u(Te voglio bene assaje) but, u know, a great deal at his point it has become a chain(e' una catena ormai) that melts the blood in the veins u know *some words are in naples's dialect **America=USA not the continent ***lampare r boats for fishing in the evening ****lirica=something between theater and opera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucio_Dalla

Old expression: Roma Caput Mundi (latin)....Meaning Rome head / capital of the world....Indeed a beautiful city A dedication to his hometown Saw him in concert in 1975 ( he was opener for jazz-rock band " Perigeo") and then again in 1976 ( Sung in Roman dialect which is very similar to proper Italian unlike other Italian dialects) How beautiful you are oh Rome in the evenings when the moon reflects itself inside the big fountain and the couples desert the streets How beautiful you are oh Rome when it rains How great you are oh Rome when it’s dusk and the orange turns red on top of your seven hills and the windows are like numerous eyes that seem to tell you: how beautiful you are! Today it feels like if time had stopped here I see the majesty of the Colosseum I see the sanctity of the big Dome and I am more alive and I am better no, I’ll never leave you Rome, head of this infamous world a carriage drives away two foreigners a second-hand dealer asks you if you’ve got some rags the bedraggled sparrows are nightingales I was born in Rome I discovered you this morning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonello_Venditti

Due explanation: For us Italians the idea of seaside-vacationing is strictly associated with the summer season... Out of that it's not really that hot weather...I know you guys in the States can consider going to sea almost in every period of the year ( Florida, California etc) For us here it's different.....So the thought of the sea in winter is kinda strange to us.....Kind of sad too.... The sea in winter is just a movie in black and white seen on TV. And inward, some cloud from the sky going down. Wet sand, a letter that the wind is taking away, invisible points chased by dogs, tired whirls of old seagulls. And me staying here looking for a cafe.. The sea in winter is a concept thought does not consider . It 's barely modern, it's something that no one ever wants. Hotels closed, advert posters already worn out cars trace grooves on roads where rain does not fall in the summer And I can not even talk to myself. Sea .... nobody ever comes here to drag me away. Sea .... nobody ever comes here to keep us company. Sea ... I can not stand seeing you like this because this wind stirs me too, stirs me too. the cold weather will come to pass and the beach will slowly acquire color The radio and the newspapers and meaningless music will spread '. New adventures, lit-up nightclubs full of lies. But around evening, a strange concert and a beach umbrella that stays open. I dive perplexed into already lived moments. Sea .... nobody ever comes here to drag me away. Sea .... nobody ever comes here to keep us company. Sea .... I can not stand seeing you like this because this wind stirs me too, stirs me too.....

She has been one of our greatest female singers no doubt...Too bad she left us way too early....She had a very tormented and unlucky life unfortunately.....which ended tragically Her sister Loredana Berte' is a singer herself...But not as good as she.....Far from it You know, people are weird, first they hate each other, and the they love each other they change mind suddenly, first the truth and then lie without seriousness, as if it was nothing you know,people are crazy, maybe too unsatisfied follow the world blindly When the fashion changes they also change continuously and foolishly. You, you that are different, at least you in the universe a point, you know, that doesn't rotate around me ever a sun that shines only for me as a diamond in the middle of the heart You, you that are different, at least you in the universe you won't change, tell me that you'll be honest forever and that you'll really love me, more, more, more You know, people are lonely, they console as they can to not make my mind get lost in conjecture, in fear in vain, and then for nothing You, you that are different, at least you in the universe a point, you know, that doesn't rotate around me ever a sun that shines only for me as a diamond in the middle of the heart You, you that are different, at least you in the universe you won't change, tell me that you'll be honest forever and that you'll really love me, more, more, more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_Martini

From "Suddance" 1978 Sung in Neapolitan dialect... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osanna Translation ( w parts missing) https://flowlez.com/en/songs/o-napulitano-1197704/ Review by andrea In 1977, after the negative experiences of Uno and Città Frontale, founder members Lino Vairetti, Danilo Rustici and Massimo Guarino reformed Osanna with a new line up featuring Enzo Petrone on bass and Fabrizio D'Angelo Lancellotti on keyboards and synthesizers. "Suddance" was released in 1978, when the Halcyon Days of prog were coming to an end... This album could be very disappointing for old fans since Osanna here were trying to find a new musical direction blending rock, soul and jazz with the traditions of Naples, but in my opinion the result is not bad at all... "Suddance" is very different from Osanna's early works (the album features also some guest musicians like Benni Caiazzo on sax and Antonio Spagnolo on electric violin), nonetheless here you can find at least one outstanding track, the suggestive and melancholic "A zingara" (The Gipsy woman) featuring a mysterious mood... Lyrics are sung in the dialect of Naples and describe the desperate life of gipsy woman with "music and hope in her heart" who is rejected by the society... "She's a gipsy and she causes fear / That's why everybody avoids her in the street / She is so desperate to bang her head against the wall / But every time she asks for help people pretend they don't see her..."... There are other good tracks, like the opener "Ce vulesse" and the instrumental title track, more in a jazz rock vein, or the long and desperate "Chiuso qui" (the only one sung in Italian and featuring "claustrophobic" lyrics that describe the feelings of an inmate)... However, the overall sound is closer to the genre that is known as "Neapolitan Power" (very successful in the early Eighties and spearheaded by Pino Daniele) than to the peculiar prog of the early Osanna albums... Although it is not an essential album, at length "Suddance" is a good work released by an excellent group of musicians who were trying to explore new musical paths to go further... It's a pity that they had to stop!

In 1958 this song in its original Italian version sold a lot of copies in the US Then a lot of versions were rec'd in many languages..... As a result of his success, Domenico Modugno then made a US tour where he'd be called "Mr.Volare" Flying (In the blue painted blue) I think a dream like that will never return I painted the hands and the face blue Then suddenly I was taken by the wind And I started to fly in the endless sky Flying oh, oh Singing oh, oh In the blue painted blue Happy to stay up there And I was flying, I was flying happy higher than the sun And even more As the world was slowly disappearing so far away A sweet music was playing just for me Flying oh, oh Singing oh, oh In the blue painted blue Happy to stay up there But all dreams vanish at dawn because The moon brings them away when it sets But I keep dreaming in your beautiful eyes Which are blue like a sky dotted with stars Flying oh, oh Singing oh, oh In the blue of your blue eyes Happy to stay down here And I keep flying happy higher than the sun And even more As the world slowly disappears in your blue eyes Your voice is a sweet music that plays for me Flying oh, oh Singing oh, oh In the blue of your blue eyes Happy to stay down here In the blue of your blue eyes Happy to stay down here With you
