Franco Battiato is one of the most important Italian songwriters of the last decades.

His lyrics have often something mysterious inside, and "La Cura" makes no exception. In fact you may find several blogs with opinions about the real meaning of this song...a love song?...a prayer?...who knows...

Ti proteggerò
dalle paure delle ipocondrie
dai turbamenti che da
oggi incontrerai per la tua via
Dalle ingiustizie e
dagli inganni del tuo tempo
Dai fallimenti che per tua
natura normalmente attirerai
Ti solleverò dai dolori e
dai tuoi sbalzi d'umore
dalle ossessioni delle tue manie
supererò
le correnti gravitazionali
lo spazio e la luce
per non farti invecchiare
E guarirai
da tutte le malattie
perchè sei un essere speciale
ed io
avrò cura di te
vagavo per i campi del Tennesse
come vi ero arrivato chissà !
Non hai fiori bianchi per me?
Piu' veloci di aquile i miei sogni
attraversano il mare
Ti porterò
soprattutto il silenzio e
la pazienza
Percorreremo assieme
le vie che portano all'essenza
I profumi d'amore
inebrieranno i nostri corpi
la bonaccia d'agosto
non calmera' i nostri sensi
Tessero' i tuoi capelli
come trame di un canto
Conosco le leggi del mondo
e te ne farò dono
Supererò
le correnti gravitazionali
lo spazio e la luce
per non farti invecchiare
Ti salverò
da ogni malinconia
perchè sei un essere speciale
ed io
avrò cura di te...
Io si
che avrò cura di te

Anyway, GianniC asked me to make together a cover of this great song, and it was a real pleasure for me.

GianniC: vocals (and my congrats to him, the middle part is a nightmare to sing...)
Myself: rhythm guitar (Godin Freeway); solo guitar (Gibson Les Paul); for the strings and the choral parts I've used my MIDI paraphernalia: YouRockGuitar + VST strings, and Godin ACS SA with the Roland GR-55
Bass, el. piano & drums: BIAB

Enjoy!

Great cover Alfredo and Gianni.

Since I have an infantile sense of humour I have to ask, what does "non farti invecchiare" mean?

Cool guitar solo by the way.

Paul and James, nothing to do with farts... ;D

that means: "I'll keep you forever young",

in Italian (anyway very complicated language)

non= not

fare + te ("farti") = make + you

invecchiare = to get old
