Lucio Battisti A WOMAN AS A FRIEND (1977) - Una donna per amico

"Una donna per amico" in inglese di Lucio Battisti

A WOMAN AS A FRIEND (1977)
(Una donna per amico)
(Battisti-Mogol-Musker)

It could be that I don't know what I'm doing
to have you for a friend could be my ruin
but I just want to live my life in freedom
and leave, the joys of love to those who need them!
I love you for your strength and for your weakness
a woman as a friend can be still strangeness!

Excitement and intrigue becomes a passion
and though I know that it's the latest fashion.
The consequences always let me suffer
in turns, we talk about, each other's lovers.
It seems to be that you've got plenty of them
a woman as a friend can be a problem.

You say you're falling in love?
Babe I know you made me start to cry!
This is the third time in a week
And I suspect it´s just another hype!

All that you do as you please!
You never listen to me anyway!
Go on just do as you please!
I´ll see you later... in the usual place!

This friendship is a silly fine disaster!
I chose you for a friend and not a master!
Oh no matter what you say it's an illusion
and all it does it's spinning with confusion!
I tell myself I love you like a brother
and all the time I want you as a lover!

You think I'm falling in love?
It's nothing that I can't rise above!
I know you think that men are all fools!
And jealousy is against the rules!
So now you see what I am
just another man.
Don't want to hear what you've done!
Instead of having hurts
we could be having some fun!

This friendship is a silly fine disaster!
I chose you for a friend and not a master!
Oh I just want to live my life in freedom
and leave, the joys of love to those who need them!
I love you for your strength, and for your weakness
a woman as a friend, is simply pointless!

a danielaa70....

quello che canta é comunque Battisti eh ;)

attenti a sparare :D

[cicciorinaldi]

era un esperimento. Io ho il l.p. originale acquistato in un piccolo negozio aa Londra in Portobello, e posso dirti che è per me una gran bella cosa.

[danielaa70]

@lucareale ops hai ragione. Ad un secondo e piu' attento ascolto, hai ragione. Pensavo fossi tu a cantare .

Ciao

@notonlyonce colpa di mogol!!

[gpaspan]

@danielaa70 dovresti chiederlo a Battisti .... se fosse possibile ahimè

[notonlyonce]

Con tutta l'ammirazione che ho per Battisti, forse sarebbe stato meglio evitare le cover in inglese. Pronuncia a parte, anche i testi tradotti sono davvero maccheronici.Terribili.

[danielaa70]

Non mi piace: non sai cantare in inglese, hai un forte accento italiano.

Per il resto: non mi trasmette nulla. Mi domando cosa volevi trasmettere con questa rivisitazione.

[mpetrizzelli]

non c'e niente da fare. l'italiano e' la piu bella lingua al mondo. la musicalita' che si riesce ad esprimere con la nostra lingua e' unica ed irripetibile
