Forse invecchierò cantando una sciocca canzone Ancora mi ricordo la prima fu una apparizione Da allora perdo tempo sulle corde a immaginare Rincorro la musica, e aspetto quel che può portare Che sia un verde campo O una pietra leggera Un ricordo passato Una storia sincera Spero in un viaggio Nel futuro, vedrai Forse in un posto Dove non son stato mai Così l'ho visto scritto, o detto non ricordo più Che puoi stringere il tempo, fermarlo nelle mani tu Ma è solo una illusione: tra la città e l'oceano C'è ancora troppa strada, se sopravvivi al traffico Ora che fai, dài, non Ricomincerai Stai coi piedi per terra Che E' il meglio che sai Forse una canzone, non può dire no non ti svolta proprio niente anche se è perfetta oh, Lo stesso son cresciuto, cantando una sciocca canzone Vabbè, dì pure che sto appresso alla perfezione E perdo sempre tempo, sulle corde a immaginare Rincorro la musica, e aspetto quel che può portare Che sia un verde campo O una pietra leggera Un ricordo passato Una storia sincera Spero in un viaggio Nel futuro, vedrai Forse in un posto Dove non son stato, non son stato mai mmm... non son stato mai Forse invecchierò cantando una sciocca canzone Ancora mi ricordo, la prima fu una apparizione

Maybe I'll grow older singing up this silly song Up to now, say I'm searching for the perfect one What does it all mean - losing time across the strings What does it all mean - looking what a song can bring Maybe a green field Maybe a stone Maybe a memory Lost and gone Maybe a trip The future to see Maybe the place Where you've never been So you've seen it written or you just have heard it said That you can feel the power, have the time right in your hand But it's an illusion, between the city and the sea There is so much a distance, if you survive the traffic beat Maybe you will, then, Start over again, maybe Feet on the ground Is the best that you can Maybe a song Just can't say a no Can't change a single thing, even The perfect one... The same I've grown older singing up some silly songs Maybe I am still searching for the perfect one What does it all mean - losing time across the strings What does it all mean - looking what a song can bring Maybe a green field Maybe a stone Maybe a memory Tought lost and gone Maybe a trip The future to see Maybe a place Where you've never You've never been Where you've never been I've grown older singing up silly songs Still sing up silly songs I am searching for the perfect one Perfect one

This is something really special Max! That guitar playing is so beautiful and the vocals...It really is nothing short of amazing. It sounds just perfect to me in Italian and I'm so glad you shared this one, it's brilliant!!!
Rock on!

[Redler]

Agree with Hook! Italian language is very beautiful! The vocalist has just a brilliant voice. It match well together with you guitar. Nice playing and fantastic song. Thanks for the translation, too... I love it!

Real nice playing and natural acoustic guitar sound Maxit! The female vocalist is in top form for this song. Thanks for the English translation......hearing it in Italian was  beautiful...........

thanks friends, you're too kind - and Giada will be happy of these comments! the acoustic guitar is DADGAD based, and I used some N. Drake chords and rolls in a different context.

[Ferryman_1957]

This is superb - fabulous vocals that are incredibly powerful in places and some lovely guitar playing.  I like the fact you've used some Nick Drake progressions here. I picked up a few hints of John Martyn as well (eg around 55 secs), which is guess is pretty similar to the wonderful Mr Drake anyway!

Superb music and a wonderful performance from both of you. You did well to record that vocal performance as it goes from quiet to incredibly powerful and yet it doesn't clip or lose precision. Well done!

Cheers,

Nigel

thank you Ferryman! you're sure right, cause I know they were somehow friends , or at least respectful to each other. It's time I go listen to John MArtin, also. I go ;-)

[Diego Ayala]

Totaly awesome song!  Since I am addicted to drop D, well it adds~~~~  Very crisp playing and chord progressions, and the voice and in italian sure adds depth to it.  After a long pause from the website - this sure is an excellent way to come back and listen...  Better than hot coffee in the arctic in a cold early morning.....
