Te la ricordi Lella - Schola Cantorum

Lella - Edoardo De Angelis e Stelio Gicca Palli (1971)

Do you remember Lella that rich lady
the wife of Proietti the usurer
who has the store at Triton
Do you remember four years ago
I showed her to you incredulous
that she was really with me
Do you remember after
when she was gone
and the people and the police
believed that she was eloped
jointly to one with more money than her husband

And I want to say you
that I was the one who killed her
keeping myself this secret since four years
I want to tell you but do not reveal around
do not tell anyone keep it within yourself

She liked going to the beach in winter
to make love in the coldness
but never took off her stockings
At the mouth of stream where there is a small bar
between fishing nets and abandoned boats
under the gray sky to make as roof
the morning of the last day of the year
she said to me with her straight face
- I get bored of this story so now stop
take me up the zipper of the dress -

And I want to say you
that I was the one who killed her
keeping myself this secret since four years
I want to tell you but do not reveal around
do not tell anyone keep it within yourself

Maybe you will not believe
but then I've lost my mind
I grabbed her neck gripping strong
no stopping until she fell to the ground out of breath
Up there a tear of sun pierced the clouds
and I've buried her with my hands
being careful not to dirty trousers
and after I went away without looking back
Now I don't feel any remorse
and sometimes even return there
not thinking about who lies under the sand
I come here just to watch the sea

And I want to say you
that I was the one who killed her
keeping myself this secret since four years
I want to tell you but do not reveal around
do not tell anyone keep it within yourself

grazie per la traduzione!

Chi è morto dei due? Chi muore ogni minuto da quattro anni?

Ed anch'io, da quarant'anni, quando ascolto questa confessione… vorrei poter ridar loro la vita.

Quanto lavoro rest'ancor da fare per render umani gli uomini…

[MrSONNYDEEP]

Questa canzone è meravigliosa, nonostante l'argomento sia davvero triste ! Eppure ha una sua forza , qualcosa di genuino, di vero !

[MrHommeinvisible]

il testo è triste, ma è tratto da un romanzo di Gadda..."Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana"
