LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FINEST HOUR/DURAN DURAN





How does it feel out on the ice?
You speak to the crowd but nobody hears
It's not a dream and you are no prize
And you're not alone come in from the fear

Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

When did our choice become erased?
Where is the violence in this crowd?
Now that our voice has been replaced
With a silence that screams out loud

Gonna take it back
Take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack
But now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back
You've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand
The finest hour that we see

The finest hour that we see
We're gonna make this stand
The Finest Hour that we see

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)/SIMPLE MINDS





Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on call my name
Will you all my name?

POST-IT: THOM YORKE & ATOMS FOR PEACE




ATOMS FOR PEACE

Atoms For Peace: si chiamerà così il supergruppo di Thom Yorke, che comprende Flea dei Red Hot Chili Peppers, il produttore Nigel Godrich, il batterista Joey Waronker ed il polistrumentista Mauro Refosco. Il nome riprende il titolo di uno dei brani che compongono il disco solista di Yorke, The Eraser, che costituisce la gran parte del repertorio della band fresca di nomina. Il battesimo è avvenuto mediante un post sul Dead Air Space, il sito ufficiale dei Radiohead, contestualmente all'annuncio di un mini tour americano.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DEL MONDO/C.S.I.





E' stato un tempo il mondo giovane e forte
Odorante di sangue fertile
Rigoglioso di lotte, moltitudini
Splendeva pretendeva molto
Famiglie donne incinte, sfregamenti
Facce gambe pance braccia

Dimora della carne, riserva di calore
Sapore e familiare odore
E' cavità di donna che crea il mondo
Veglia sul tempo lo protegge
Contiene membro d'uomo che s'alza e spinge
Insoddisfatto poi distrugge

Il nostro mondo è adesso debole e vecchio
Puzza il sangue versato è infetto

E' stato un tempo il mondo giovane e forte
Odorante di sangue fertile
Dimora della carne, riserva di calore
Sapore e familiare odore
Il nostro mondo è adesso debole e vecchio
Puzza il sangue versato è infetto

Povertà magnanima, mala ventura
Concedi compassione ai figli tuoi
Glorifichi la vita, e gloria sia
Glorifichi la vita e gloria è

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD/U2





Haven't seen you for quite a while
I was down the hole just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world

Love, love, love, love...

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world

Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
With the birds I'll share this lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I'll share this lonely view
With the birds I'll share this lonely view
With the birds I'll share this lonely view

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DOWN IS THE NEW UP/RADIOHEAD





Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without a warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup
Down is the new up, is the new up

Your services are not required
Your future's bleak, you're so last week

Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flopped?
Down is the new up
Down is the new up
Down is the new up, is the new up

You crawled off and left us
You crawled off and left us
You bastard
You bastard

You're on Candid Camera
The chink in your armor
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town

You crawled off and left us
You crawled off and left us
You bastard
You bastard
You crawled off and left us
You crawled off and left us

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: A PLACE TO HIDE/WHITE LIES





Could I sit alone and ask about my future
When you replied I'd just turn away
I've been searching through my books to try and
Find some truth
Perhaps disguise is a mysterious way?
And if I made a promise
Could I stay by your side?
Would you guarantee my safety?
And say that I'b be alright?
And if judgement day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright girl

I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains
Screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in
I need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times when I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still
remember
So I think my friend these sins are here to stay
And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind
But if judgement day started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright girl

I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains
Screaming I'll be back
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in
I need a place to hide
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL MY LIFE/FOO FIGHTERS





All my life I’ve been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies, but I’m getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around and it’s taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down, don’t you resist
You’ve such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in there?
To give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
One by one hidden up my sleeve
One by one hidden up my sleeve

Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight, keep pinning me down
Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight, keep pinning me down

Will I find a believer?
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I got nothing to hide
On and on I got nothing to hide

Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight, keep pinning me down
Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight, keep pinning me down

All my life I’ve been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies, but I’m getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around and it’s taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
Then I’m done done, on to the next one
Done done, and I’m on to the next one
Done I’m done and I’m on to the next
Done done on to the next one
Done I’m done and I’m on to the next one
Done done on to the next one
Done I’m done and I’m on to the next

Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight, keep pinning me down
Hey don’t let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight, keep pinning me down

Done done on to the next one
Done I’m done and I’m on to the next

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WAHT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE/DINAH WASHINGTON





What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT)/RADIOHEAD




Diretto da JONATHAN GLAZER

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole

And fade out again
And fade out

This machine will
Will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under

And fade out again
And fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole

And fade out again
And fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPLITTING THE ATOM/MASSIVE ATTACK




Diretto da EDOUARD SALIER

The baby was born
Nettles and ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
Don't lose it

Its getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box and they
Paper chase
It never stops
And we'll never learn
No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers have bailed
The mighty retreat
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it or leave
Or what you receive
To what you receive
Is eternited leave

It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
It's easy, don't let it go
Don't lose it

Incandescent light at doors
In adolescent menopause
In little clicks you got the music stops
The needle sticks and the penny drops
The summer's gone before you know
The muffled drums of relentless flow
You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo
The sun's still burning and dust will blow
Honey scars I'll keep you near
Our blood is gold nothing to fear
We killed the time and I love you dear
A kiss of wine we'll disappear
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SUBMISSION/DELPHIC





Always a new temptation
I am desire
Always in moderation
If it's a hunger from the heart
Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind
Out of sight and mind
Trying to work a reason why
I don't recognize myself

The less you expect from me
The less you get
Every test you give me
The more I can remedy myself
I can't keep giving into mistakes I've made
The mistakes I've made
I can't keep living life left behind
I don't recognize myself

Why?
I don't know

Always a new temptation
And no one hears me now
Always in moderation
If it's a hunger from the heart
Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind
Out of sight and mind
Trying to work a reason why
I don't recognize myself

Why?
I don't know

I don't recognize myself
Are you now are you now are you now?

Nothing is certain at this time of day
You could reverberate you could decay
The mouse and the model are laughing at us
We'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

By counting your blessings you wind up in debt
It starts with your family and ends in your bed
You Jekyll and Hide it when you could have left
Your guard down your dress up you must be upset

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

It's dark over here on the flipside of reason
The teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book
You're a crook you're a fake you committed
If you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll tax them relax them and make them forfeit
The vote by a landslide the Jekyll and Hide

People go dancing
In crowded rooms

At their only cause

Why won't it snow
Like they said it would
What is it that they know
That i really should

I check my look in the mirror
It don't glow
My face is getting thinner
Darkness shows
Children going cursing
At their only cause

Why won't it snow

What is it that they know

That i really should

Don't be so circumscribe, are you gonna do it?

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do?
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you won't be satisfied, until you do it

Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ISOLATION/JOY DIVISION





In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, Isolation, Isolation

Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, Isolation, Isolation

But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures a wayward distraction
This is my one broken prize

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SAVE IT FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES/THE LEISURE SOCIETY





Hunting spires
And an audience in the house of god
Such strange times
Pull me from my knees, genuflect and leave
Braving the weather, evading the stares
Save it for someone who cares

City life
In the glory of pink communal skies
Jostled bones
Hang in dying air breathed a million times
Down through the marching of beggars and heirs
Save it for someone who cares

We are the cats in the flea bitten folds
We will collapse with the weight of it all
Should we attack
Or be caught unawares
Save it for someone who cares

We get by
Swilling with the taste of the now and then
As we type
All our problems we will relive again
Echoes of violence, and office affairs
Save it for someone who cares

Hide no wrong
I love this place, the lights
Under this face
So dry

Only way to change
Give yourself away
Don't be ashamed
Next in line
Close one eye
Just walk by

In these days
I'm breathing stone, crying stone
I'll win this race
I'll leave alone, arrive alone
Love this place, the lights
Under this face, so dry

Stripped to the bone
I did no wrong
Truth is my name
Give yourself away

In the dark of night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious

Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me
Well I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOMEDAY WE'LL KNOW/NEW RADICALS





90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
I don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later
You're still on my mind

Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the 97th time tonight

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask god just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know that I was the one for you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HORCHATA/VAMPIRE WEEKEND





In december drinking horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

In december drinking horchata
Look down your glasses at that orxata
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
Boots and fists to pound on the pavement
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

You'd remember drinkin horchata
You'd still enjoy it with your foot on masada

Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
You had it but oh no you lost it
Lookin back you shouldn't have fought it

In december, drinkin horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Years go by and hearts start to harden
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
Falling down and nearing the rose beds
The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
You had it but oh no you lost it
You understood so you shouldn't have fought it

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LEAVE/R.E.M.





Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow?
To leave, leave
It's under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
Where do I go where the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believe

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind

Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I Suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness with an even extreme
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I'm a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
That never left the ground

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
Leave, leave it
Leave it all behind

Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself
I lost the heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in clarity
Memory, leave, leave

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind

Lift my hands, my eyes are still
I walk into the scene
Lift myself in a different place
Now leavin'
I longed for this to take me
I longed for my release
I waited for the calling
To leave, leave
Leave, leave
Leavin'
leavin'
Leavin'

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD/THE CURE





Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said
Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said
Sleep when I’m dead you angels
But until then

They told me I would live forever
If I kept it clean
They said I would be the chosen one
If I took one for the team
It’s the only way to be
Never think it isn’t fair
That’s a green eyed panic climb
To the edge of nowhere
Give it to the chicken
And see if it ticks
Give it to the kitten
And see if it sicks
Then give it to the wonderful
Wonderful me
And I will tell on my return
The way it is
With all the happy boys and girls
The whole happy world
And the love they feel for me
The love they feel for me

Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said
Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said

They told me I could run the world
If I kept it quiet
They said I could be the man
If I took it out of sight
In a monkey suit again
Having fun with all your friends
How a casual hour can pull
All this world to pieces
Give it to the bunny
And see if she kicks
Give it to the puppy
And see if he sticks
Then give it to the wonderful
Wonderful me
I’ll let you know when I get back
Just how it is
With all the other boys and girls
The whole fucking other world
And the way it stirs inside
And the why it never burns at night
And the way they make the climb
And the why they never pray for time
And the way I show surprise
And the why I never close my eyes
Just how it is

Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said
Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said
Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead I said
Sleep when I’m dead you angels
I’ll sleep when I’m dead
But until then

Well I should at least feel tired I think
Before I lay me down to dream

POST-IT: ROBERT SMITH NEL PAESE DELLE MERAVIGLIE





Che non si fossero mai incontrati, finora, sembra quasi impossibile, e non poteva che essere una delle storie più dark di tutti i tempi, Alice Nel Paese Delle Meraviglie, a far incrociare le loro strade: stiamo parlando di Tim Burton e Robert Smith. Il leader dei Cure, infatti, su richiesta di un amico, come si legge nel post sul sito ufficiale della band, ha registrato una cover del brano Very Good Advice (già presente nella versione Disney del 1951 del classico di Carroll) per il film girato dal regista americano (in uscita all'inizo del mese prossimo) che verrà inclusa in un album chiamato Almost Alice, che andrà ad affiancarsi alla colonna sonora originale, composta da Danny Elfman. Il disco, al quale partecipano, tra gli altri, anche Franz Ferdinand, Wolfmother ed Avril Lavigne, sarà pubblicato tra un mese esatto, il due marzo.

POST-IT: BANKSY/EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP





Si allarga il raggio d'azione di Banksy: il geniale e misterioso artista inglese, infatti, ha presentato al Sundance Festival il suo primo film, il documentario Exit Through The Gift Shop, un lungometragio di 85 minuti definito dall'autore come "un film su un uomo che cerca di fare un film su di me". E naturalmente, dato che si trovava da quelle parti (nello Utah, USA), il writer di Bristol ne ha approfittato per realizzare alcuni stencil in giro per Park City...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FIRENZE (CANZONE TRISTE)/IVAN GRAZIANI





Firenze lo sai non è servita a cambiarla
La cosa che ha amato di più è stata l'aria
Lei ha disegnato ha riempito cartelle di sogni
Ma gli occhi di marmo del colosso toscano guardano troppo lontano

Caro il mio Barbarossa, studente in filosofia
Con il tuo italiano insicuro certe cose le sapevi dire
Oh lo so, lo so, lo so, lo so bene, lo so
Una donna da amare in due in comune fra te e me
Ma di tempo c'è ne, in questa città
Fottuti di malinconia e di lei

Per questo canto una canzone triste, triste, triste
Triste, triste, triste, triste, triste, triste, triste come me
E non c'è più nessuno che mi parli ancora un po' di lei
Ancora un po' di lei
E non c'è più nessuno che mi parli ancora un po' di lei
Ancora un po' di lei

Ricordo i suoi occhi strano tipo di donna che era
Quando gettò i suoi disegni con rabbia giù da Ponte Vecchio
"Io sono nata da una conchiglia" diceva
"La mia casa è il mare e con un fiume no, non la posso cambiare"

Caro il mio Barbarossa, compagno di un avventura
Certo che se lei se n'è andata no, non è colpa mia
Oh lo so, lo so, lo so, la tua vita non cambierà
Ritornerai in Irlanda con la tua laurea in filosofia
Ma io che farò in questa città?
Fottuto di malinconia e di lei

Per questo canto una canzone triste, triste, triste
Triste triste, triste, triste, triste, triste, triste come me
E non c'è più nessuno che mi parli ancora un po' di lei
Ancora un po' di lei

E non c'è più nessuno che mi parli ancora un po' di lei
Ancora un po' di lei
