| Lucio Battisti – Mi ritorni in mente Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Very beaytiful Italian song... I'll try to translate it before to comment the lyrics... You return in my mind, beautiful as you are, maybe even more... You return in my mind, sweet as you never was, as you are not... An angel fallen in flight, this now you are, in all the dreams of mine how I would want you, how I would want you... But there's something I don't forget but there's something I don't forget I don't forget... That night you was dancing with me and you was keeping me tight suddenly, you asked me who was he who was he?? A smile, and I saw my end on your face our love to fade in the wind I remember, I was died in a moment... You return in my mind, beautiful as you are, maybe even more... You return in my mind, sweet as you never was, as you are not... An angel fallen in flight, this now you are, in all the dreams of mine how I would want you, how I would want you... But there's something I don't forget but there's something I don't forget I don't forget... But there's something I don't forget you're an angel fallen in flight... .... I tried to translate these beautiful lyrics, trying to preserve the disposition ow words and the true meaning of the Italian text... It's about the remembering of a past love, and of a moment that the lover can't forget, when his love had found another man to love, and leaved him all alone with a broken heart... There's a wonderful image of the angel fallen in flight, living in tre dreams of the writer... For ones that know the most beautiful language in the world (Italian of course... ;D)... read the lyircs in original language... extraordinary... also great Battisti in his interpretation of the song... |

| Nightwish – Ocean Soul Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Beautiful song, it reminds me of the legend of Sappho, who, in the Greek myth, committed suicide because of his love with Phaon, and died in the ocean... The lyrics are vey similar to the beautiful poem "Ultimo canto di Saffo" (Sappho's Last Song), by Giacomo Leopardi. Should I dress in white and search the sea As I always wished to be - one with the waves Ocean Soul Also I think Tuomas always considered himself like a beats, an ugly person, being in love with a beautiful woman (i guess, and I like to guess she was Tarja). But he never confessed his love to her, because he felt deep in himself that Tarja couldn't love one like him, so he never tried to confess his feelings to her. I only wished to become something beautiful Through my music, through my silent devotion... This is in my opinion the key to understand many Tuomas poems: he is a beast, that TRIES to become something beautiful through its art (another link to Sappho's Last Song), and this topic is present also in other songs, like Beauty of the Beast and Swanheart, some of Tuomas' most personal songs. Definitely, Ocean Soul is the clef-de-voute to understand all Tuomas' poetry, and it looks very strange to me that this song has such few comments, while it's one of the most difficult Tuomas' poems to undestand. Losing emotion Finding devotion These lines wanted to say, in my opinion, that Tuomas' love for Tarja, in the years he wrote Century Child, was not an emotion, but something more than it, a DEVOTION... he saw her like an angel sent on Earth, something like Beatrice in Dante's Divine Comedy, while he knew that this character of ethereal woman couldn't exist, and this topic (the fading of the angelic image) is the main topic of the album Once, that, on the artwork, shows what?? A fallen angel crying on a marble tomb... One last thing... I think that all Nightwish songs have great lyrics, that I like to comment and study like true poems, because Tuomas, in my opinion, is one of the best contemporary poets I ever read, and one of the few writers of these times that I like... But I think that all his songs are nothing that a great loveletter to Tarja Turunen, his one and only love... I started to think at it when I saw Ever Dream performed in End Of An Era, so I read all the lyrics and I found many refers to her, so I like to think it... it's so romantic... :D And... sorry for my English...
