NEW TROLLS - La Collina

The Hill

Where's gone Elmer
who allowed himself kill by fever?
Where's Herman burned in a mine?

Where are Bert and Tom
the first murdered in a brawl
the other released from prison already dead?

And what will become of Charley
who fell down while working
and flew off the bridge on the road?

Are sleeping sleeping on the hill
are sleeping sleeping on the hill

Where are Ella and Kate
both dead by mistake
the first of abortion the second of love?

And Maggie killed in a brothel
by the cuddles of an animal
and Edith worn out by a strange disease?

And Lizzie who pursued the life away
and from England was brought back here
in this lost edge of land?

Are sleeping sleeping on the hill
are sleeping sleeping on the hill

Where are the generals
decorated after the battles
with a cemetery of crosses on chest?

Where the children of war
left for an ideal for a scam
for a love gone wrong?

Their remains sent home
wrapped in the flags
bound so tight as to appear whole

Are sleeping sleeping on the hill
are sleeping sleeping on the hill

Where's the player Jones
caught by surprise at his ninety
when instead he wished still enjoy life?

He who offered his face to the wind
throat to wine and never a thought
about money love or heaven

Really seems to hear him
yet chattering of crap food
ate in street at wrong hours

Seems to hear him again
asking the merchant of liquor
" You that sell it - tell me -
what can buy better of? "

chiunque ha tentato di "interpretare" le magie di Fabrizio ha fallito (impossibile non stabilire paragoni ovviamente impietosi) qui invece suoni e voce sono estremamente credibili e coinvolgenti

ps da quale concerto sono tratte queste riprese ?

dacci qualche ulteriore dettaglio

I enjoy all your videos; you got me hooked with Leonard Cohen videos last year.

Now no matter the language I know the quality will be fantastic.

Grazie,Harvey

Non posso che aggiungermi al coro: grazie, non l'avevo mai sentita da una voce che non fosse quella di De André, ma in effetti è bellissima anche la versione di De Scalzi.
