Jimi Bertucci - La merica

Translated lyrics

La merica

From the balcony I watch you
Do you remember that white guitar?
My father works in the mountains
To make money so we can eat
I was afraid of the night
On a ship that was larger
Than my eyes could see
Eleven days on the ocean
We left everything in search of
La Merica La Merica

I've been working on La merica and have finally completed the song. This pre-production version on Youtube will soon be replaced with the final product. I'm happy with the direction it's taking. I hope to make this a collection of tunes that represent my roots and in many ways some of the musical traditions of my homeland. My manager, Marisa, really encouraged me to do this project. As I started writing this CD I was overwhelmed with emotional spurts as I touched upon my youth, growing up in Serra San Bruno and then landing in La merica. It was truly the La merica dream.
