supini nel campo, aspettiamo che il grano cresca per stare un po’ più comodi. penso di avere del tempo in più. mi fermo qui. se vuoi ascoltarmi ti aspetto. fingi (pure) di non venire, ma vieni presto.

English translation:
Backs lying in the field, waiting for the wheat to grow just so we can be more comfortable I think I have extra time. I'll stop here. If you want to listen I'll wait. You (also) Pretend to not come, but you arrive early.

    "Backs lying in the field, we wait for the wheat to grow so that we can rest a bit more comfortable. I think i have more time to spend. I'l stop here. If you want to listen to me i'll wait. You can (also) pretend to not come but (please) come soon!

    The last line makes me think of someone waiting for a girl (or a man) in a wheatfield like if they have decided to meet there. The man has something to say to the other one who's supposed to come "If you want to listen to me, i'll wait (you here in the field)" and also "i stop here" which sounds more likely "I seat there" as if the man started walking in that field and decided that it was enough and sat where he stopped walking. And the end "fingi pure di non venire ma vieni presto" sounds like "the person i had to talk with here, wants me to believe she/he will not come, but i know she/he will, so i'm saying "hurry here, i know you will come anyway"

    maybe :)

    I really love this song and especially the lyrics, they make me think of the wheatfields of my countryside that i see while travelling by train at the end of summer

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
