Hallelujah
(cover di Leonard Cohen)
I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Well there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Well, maybe there is a god above
But all I’ve ever learnt from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Rock your soul
The more I think the less I see
When I'm able to walk
I'm the queen of my world
I let it rain on my skin
I don't let myself down
I don't let myself down
Wanna be one with you
I wanna be one with you
So, the more I think the less I do
When I'm able to talk
I'm the queen of my world
I let it rain on my skin
I don't let myself down
I don't ask myself why
I wanna be one with you
I wanna be one with you
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
I feel closer to the clouds
I'm touching all the highest leaves
On top of the trees
My desires release
So we let it rain
On our skin
You’re holding my hand
I’m holding your life
'n I feel like I'm one with you
And I wanna be one with you
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
I think that I have to give you something more
And soI show you my dreams
Just to make 'em my dreams
Won't you just be?
I am what you see
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
And all I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
All I want is to rock your soul
Together with the Sun
We shine (all the way) we shine... we shine...
Together with the rain
We fall (in the air) we fall... we fall...
Together with the Sun
We shine (all the way) we shine... we shine...
Together with the rain and the Sun
With the rain, the rain and the Sun... we are
Together with the rain and the Sun
Only with the rain, with the rain and the Sun...
Anf the Sun.. and the Sun...
Broken
Hard times flowing and my eyes couldn’t see stars shining
My heart couldn’t feel the beauty of the rising sun
And I’m lost like a bottle that floats in the sea for ever
Will somebody pick up my hope?
Will somebody try?
Will I realize?
’ cause it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting, hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
Time will heal
Just pieces of truth that I chose to keep and
No matter if now they are gone
No matter if I am alone
Still I can get back on my feet and walk on
As I know there was something to learn
I know there will always be more worth moving on for
Though, it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
’ cause it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
I’d love to be one of those colorful early summer days
When everybody is happy that you came
Everybody smiles back at you as soon as your eyes cross their eyes
But something has to happen first
I know winter has to come before it blossoms
So it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
‘ cause it’s broken broken
Something got broken like stolen
Stolen, like if it was stolen
And hurting hurting
I have been hurting and now
Only time will tell
Time will heal
Femme fatale
(cover dei Velvet Underground - Lou Reed)
Here she comes
You’d better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two
It's true
It's not hard to realise
Just look into her false colored eyes
She’ll build you up just to put you down
What a clown!
Everybody knows
The things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You're put down in her book
And you are number 37, have a look!
She's going to smile to make you frown
What a clown!
Little boy, she's from the street
So before you start you're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool
You can see it's true
Everybody knows the things
The things she does to please
She's just... just a little tease.. oh, she is just..
See the way she walks
Do you hear the way she talks?
Everybody knows the things
The things she does to please
She's just... just a little tease.. oh, she is just..
Do you see the way she walks?
Do you hear the way she talks?
She sings.. la la la la la...
She's le femme fatale
(and she sings)
She's le femme fatale
(and she sings)
She's le femme fatale
(and she sings)
She's le femme fatale
(and she sings)
She sings..
Sleeping in your hand
Now just let me sleep
I don't want to talk
I have nothing nice to say
I'm just sleeping in your hand
Don't wake me up to soon!
I don't want to see the world
I need to be no-one
All I want is just to be
We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we love
Even when we lie
Here be conscious of my love, please be..
Be conscious of my love
Would you please just let me float?
Nothing matters less than time
My thoughts are so remote
But your hand is open wide.. (it's there for me)
We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we love
Even when we lie
We can be so strange
We can be so wild
Even when we touch
Even when we die
I am
(sleeping in your hand)
I am
(sleeping in your hand)
I am
(sleeping in your hand)
I am
(sleeping in your hand)
I'm sleeping in your hand
(sleeping in your hand)
Sleeping in your hand
(sleeping in your hand)
In your hand
(sleeping in your hand)
(sleeping in your hand)
(sleeping in your hand)
(sleeping in your hand)
(sleeping in your hand)
You'll be conscious of my love.. please be...
Be conscious of my love
Labyrinth
Just like a spy through smoke and lights
I escaped through the backdoor of the world
I saw things getting smaller
Fear as well as temptation
Now everything is reflection
As I make my way through this labyrinth
And my.. my sense of direction
Is lost like the sound of my steps (yes, it is lost.. yes, it is lost...)
Is lost like the sound of my steps (yes, it is lost.. yes, it is lost...)
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
I see my memories in black and white
They are neglected by space and time
I stored all my days in boxes
And left my wishes so far behind
I find my only salvation
Is playing hide and seek in this labyrinth
Oh my.. my sense of connection
Is lost like the sound of my steps (yes, it is lost.. yes, it is lost...)
Is lost like the sound of my steps (yes, it is lost.. yes, it is lost...)
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Words sounds music and I'm spinning in
Words sounds music and I'm spinning out
I want to stay here
I'm waiting for the rain
I want it to wash away
Everything everything everything
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
Scent of dried flowers
And I'm walking through the fog
Walking through the fog
(we can find a way out)
(walking)
Beautiful night
A beautiful night’s a beautiful night
Its colorful soul’s embracing my song
And a cello’s playing in my head
Just for me
And a new desire is blowing sounds
In my ear
Shall I go for a smile? Shall I or
Shall I keep it to myself?
But I would share it with you
If you could understand...
A beautiful night’s a beautiful night
My happiness came like sand in the wind
Oh I think I saw a little poem
Falling off a star Oh, I think I saw it
Choosing your eyes as a place to spend time
Shall I go for a smile? Shall I or
Shall I keep this to myself?
But I would share it with you,
If you could understand
Can I... can I step into your world?
Can I... can I step into your world?
Can I... can I step into your world?
A cello's playing in my head
Just for me
And a new desire is blowing sounds
In my ear
And I think I saw a little poem
Falling off a star And I think I saw it
Choosing your eyes as a place to spend time
Shall I go for a smile? Shall I or
Shall I keep it to myself?
But I would share it with you,
If you could understand
Almeno tu nll'universo
(cover di Mia Martini, testo di B.Lauzi)
Sai? La gente è strana
Prima si odia e poi si ama
Cambia idea improvvisamente
Prima la verità e poi
Mentirà a noi
Senza serietà, come fosse niente.
Sai, la gente è matta
Forse è troppo insoddisfatta
Segue il mondo ciecamente
Quando la moda cambia
Lei pure cambia
Continuamente, scioccamente.
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai
Intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore tu..
Sai? La gente è sola
E come può lei si consola
Non far sì che la mia mente
Si perda in congetture, in paure
Inutilmente
Poi per niente.
Tu, che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai
Intorno a me, un sole
Che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell’universo
Non cambierai
Dimmi che
Per sempre sarai sincero
Che mi amerai davvero
Di più
Di più
Di più
Di più
Electricity
Your daughter.. she's a dancer
Living in Buenos Aires
Sleeping on a mattress on the floor
Yes, sleeping on a mattress on the floor
Did you ever ask her how she feels?
Did you ever ask her if she feels?
Electricity through her body
That one thing that can make one happy
Like electricity through a body
Your father he’s a rich man
And he’s got many questions
He always wakes up with you in his head
He always wakes up with you in his head
And did you ever ask him how he feels?
And did you ever ask him how he feels?
That electricity through his body
That one thing that can make one happy
Like electricity through a body
It’s that one thing that can make one happy, yeah
Your daughter is a woman living with her lover
And she’s trying to do the best that she can
Yeah she’s trying to do the best that she can
And did you ever ask her how she feels?
And did you ever ask her if she feels?
Electricity through her body
That one thing that can make one happy
Like electricity through your body
That one thing that can make you happy
And you don’t need to have more, oh no, oh no,
Oh no, you don’t need to have more
You don’t need to ask for more
You don’t need to ask for more
You don’t need to have more..
The marrige
This is the marriage of silence and love
Here is the temple where I come to learn
Here are those eternal little things I always loved
Here are all my tears just waiting for my return.
This the marriage of silence and love
This is the land of the gentle soul
Here sometimes I meet the man who can see what I see
Live what I dream and be the way he seems.
And I have no doubt, here I fall and rise
Here I can be poor and feel so rich inside
I come back to me, I come back to see
What he's doing now, what he's doing now.
I believe in the marriage of silence and love
I still need some patience to grasp it all
I hope I won't forget these feelings fading off in time
Trapped behind my face, they're burning in my mind.
No, I have no doubt, here I become wise
Here I can be poor and feel so rich inside
I come back to me, I come back to see
What he's doing now, what he's doing now.
At first, I've lost my direction but I was just glad to be alive
But then I had to meet myself and my depression and I,
And I should have swallowed all my pride
I just know it now, I know it now
I just want to know him now, 'cause
See what he's doing now
No, I have no doubt, here I live for now
Here I can be poor and feel so rich inside
Here I come back to me, I come back to see
What he's doing now, what he's doing now.
Here I come back to me, I come back to see
What he's doing now, what he's doing now.
And I just want to know him now.
Yashal
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to forget about you
Just little lies for myself
And you.. you were innocent and true as can be,
And now you are not here with me
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to forget about you
Just little lies for myself
You were innocent and true as can be,
And now you are not here with me
I can’t go on and keep on keep on
Crying inside and blame destiny...
I can’t go on and keep on keep on
Crying inside and blame destiny...
I need to know that you’ll come back to me... back to me..
And you'll come back to me
In my arms
Your name is Yashal

Crying inside and blame destiny...

Crying inside and blame destiny...

In my arms

You're name is Yashal
Strong like the mountain, Yashal
You’re soft like snow, Yashal
Strong like the mountain, Yashal
You’re soft like snow, Yashal

Stanger
Stranger, you look so different
Some other thoughts fill up your mind
And you made it all happen
Got me thinking of you in my life
And now I hope that my wish's not too weak
I hope that my will is enough, enough
'cause you made it all good for me
You made it all right
You made it all good for me
And fine
Stranger, can you forgive me if it sounds like I know you so well?
It's just that you... you have been like water when I was feeling so thirsty
And now, I think of you though you don't know
The reason why I love you so
But never mind
'cause you made me it all good for me, yeah
You made it all right
You made it all good for me
And just fine (just fine)
Yet I know it'd be too much to wait for your love
It'd be sad to wait for anything your anything..
And so I sing
I sing the words that I would say to you
I sing the time that I would spend with you
'cause you made it all good for me yeah
You made it all right
You made it all good for me, yeah
You made it just fine (fine)
I'm happy that I feel better?
Could I feel higher?
I could feel happier (happier)
Stranger you.. you look so different
Some other thoughts fill up my mind
Now you made it all happen
Got me thinking about.. you...
Luce (tramonti a nord est)
Parlami come il vento fra gli alberi
Parlami come il cielo con la sua terra
Non ho difese ma
Ho scelto di essere libera
Adesso è la verità
L'unica cosa che conta
Dimmi se farai qualcosa
Se mi stai sentendo
Avrai cura di tutto quello che ti ho dato?
Dimmi
Siamo nella stessa lacrima, come un sole e una stella
Luce che cade dagli occhi, sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni
Ascoltami
Ora so piangere
So che ho bisogno di te
Non ho mai saputo fingere
Ti sento vicino
E il respiro non mente
In tanto dolore
Niente di sbagliato
Niente...
Siamo nella stessa lacrima, come un sole e una stella
Luce che cade dagli occhi, sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni, in una lacrima
Come un sole e una stella
Siamo luce che cade dagli occhi, sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni
Il sole mi parla di te... mi stai ascoltando ora?
La luna mi parla di te... avrò cura di tutto quello che mi hai dato...
Anche se dentro una lacrima, come un sole e una stella
Siamo luce che cade dagli occhi sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni in una lacrima come un sole e una stella
Luce che cade dagli occhi sui tramonti della mia terra
Su nuovi giorni
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami
Ascoltami

Interlude
I wake up in the morning Sun
I work ‘til I’m done
I never look at the clock
I’m living out of time
In my cocoon
Smooth like water running down my throat
Days slide away
Drawing signs
I look ahead, and back behind
To see if my traces can make a straight line
The kids are laughing outside
No one looks at the sky
But it’s gonna rain and
It’s getting cold
The wind starts to blow while...
Something’s shaking my soul now
Like a tree
But this time I know
Yeah this time I know
It’s simply you
So I’ll see you soon
I'll keep waiting
I’ll see you soon
I’m here waiting.
A prayer
It’s crazy how slow it goes, when you’re waiting for something more
To warm you up when you feel cold, to calm you down and bring peace to your soul
It’s funny how fast it goes, love comes right when you don’t wait anymore
Its power takes over all, and you surrender you let go
Oh this frailty makes us so strong
Oh.. this fire will melt all the ice
And it’s all I want, all I need
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love.
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love.
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love.
Precious gifts, given in silence, look like the pieces of an unsolved puzzle
All to learn, all to know, so unexplained but so beutiful
And yeah, this frailty makes us so strong
And yeah, this fire will melt all the ice
And it’s all I want, all I need
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love.
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love.
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love.
So no matter how long I’ll wait.
Pain is nothing, but a scale for my will
And there comes a time when truth survives
All kinds of fear, all kinds of lies.
In a prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer for freedom, a prayer for love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer for freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer of freedom, a prayer of love...
A prayer for freedom, a prayer for love...
A prayer for freedom, a prayer for love...
A prayer for freedom, a prayer for love...
A prayer for love...
