Canto una storia antica nata tra queste mura
dove ora c'è l'ortica viveva una signora
che amò fino a morire un giovane ammiraglio
lo attese notti intere seduta su uno scoglio
E il saggio le racconta di quanto è grande il mare
di come farà presto l'uomo a dimenticare,
ma il pazzo l'accompagna dove riposa il vento
e al mare di Bretagna lei canta il suo tormento

Mare prendi la vita, vento prendi il mio cuore
ma fate che il mio amore possa trovare
mare prendi la vita, vento prendi il mio cuore
fatemi col mio amore navigare

E il vento di levante incominciò a soffiare
d'un lampo il continente le fece attraversare
e il mare gentilmente si mise di bonaccia
la prese dolcemente tra le sue braccia,
finché in un bel mattino tra onde di cristallo
sotto un cielo turchino e un sole di corallo
scivolò all'orizzonte un candido vascello
e dritto sopra il ponte quell'uomo così bello

Lasciatele la vita, lasciatele il suo cuore
cantavan le sirene al vento e al mare
lasciatele la vita, lasciatele il suo cuore
cantavan le sirene all'imbrunire

Scordò l'impegno preso col mare e con il vento
e col fiato sospeso raggiunse il bastimento
ma appena sulla prua lui la provò a sfiorare
l'anima volò via e il cuore cadde in mare
Gridarono le stelle e immensa fu la pena
per quella dama bella che diventò polena
e lacrime di sale solcarono il suo viso,
scolpirono nel legno il suo dolce sorriso

Dio delle dolce brezze prendila per mano
che l'onda sia carezza non uragano
notte non la confondere, sole non la bruciare
che possa eternamente andare per il mare
che possa eternamente andare per il mare
che possa eternamente andare per il mare

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
