Stanotte sono stato svegliato da mia figlia che voleva l'acqua e, non riuscendo a riprendere sonno, mi e' venuta un'idea.
Ogni volta si fanno liste di preferenze di musiche e canzoni varie, ma non ricordo topic relativi ai testi. Che ne dite di indicare i testi secondo voi piu' belli, magari tradotti se in lingua straniera e con un commento?
Io comincerei con
Time - Pink Floyd
Il testo e' meraviglioso, spiega come si puo' perdere il tempo della propria vita e ritrovarsi con poco o niente di quello che si desiderava da ragazzo. Diciamo che mi ci rivedo molto.
La traduzione ve la posto in seguito perche' ora devo proprio staccare
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
