Dear music lovers

This is my entry for this week. In the video I'm playing one of my favourite Italian songs by French-Italian singer-songwriter, Riccardo Cocciante. Please visit, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riccardo_Cocciante if you wish to know more about this great artist.

There are a few mistakes in the video but I still like it.

A big thank you goes to @edwardstobia for organising this music project and everybody else who is supporting it.

Italian

Margherita

Io non posso stare fermo
con le mani nelle mani,
tante cose devo fare
prima che venga domani
e se lei già sta dormendo
io non posso riposare,
farò in modo che al risveglio
non mi possa più scordare.

Perché questa lunga notte
non sia nera più del nero,
fatti grande, dolce luna,
e riempi il cielo intero
e perché quel suo sorriso
possa ritornare ancora,
splendi sole domattina
come non hai fatto ancora.

E per poi farle cantare
le canzoni che ha imparato,
io le costruirò un silenzio
che nessuno ha mai sentito.
Sveglierò tutti gli amanti
parlerò per ore ed ore,
abbracciamoci più forte
perché lei vuole l'amore, poi

corriamo per le strade
e mettiamoci a ballare,
perché lei vuole la gioia,
perché lei odia il rancore, poi
con secchi di vernice
coloriamo tutti i muri,
case, vicoli e palazzi,
perché lei ama i colori,
raccogliamo tutti i fiori,
che può darci primavera,
costruiamole una culla,
per amarci quando è sera, poi

saliamo su nel cielo
e prendiamole una stella,
perché Margherita è buona,
perché Margherita è bella,
perché Margherita è dolce,
perché Margherita è vera,
perché Margherita ama,
e lo fa una notte intera, perché
Margherita è un sogno,
perché Margherita è il sale,
perché Margherita è il vento,
e non sa che può far male.

Perché Margherita è tutto,
ed è lei la mia pazzia.
Margherita è Margherita,
Margherita adesso è mia,

Margherita è mia.

English translation

Margherita

I cannot stay still
with hand in hand (with idle hands)
So many things I must do
before tomorrow comes...
And if she is already sleeping
I cannot rest
I'll do such things that, when she wakes up
She won't be able to forget me anymore

In order that this long night
doesn't become blacker then black
Make yourself big, sweet Moon
and fill the entire sky
And so that that smile of hers
would come back again
Shine, sun, tomorrow morning
like you never did before

And then, to make her sing songs
that she has learned
I'll build for her a silence
that nobody ever heard
I'll wake up all lovers
I'll talk for hours and hours
Let's embrace more stronger
because she wants love

Then, let's run through the streets
and let's start dancing
Because she wants joy,
because she hates rancour
Then, with colored paint buckets
let's paint all the walls
Of homes, alleys and palaces
because she loves colors
Let's pick up all the flowers
that Spring can give us
Let's build a cradle for her
to love each other when evening falls

Then, let's climb to the sky
and catch a star for her
Because Margherita is good,
because Margherita is beautiful
Because Margherita is sweet,
because Margherita is real
Because Margherita loves
and she does it for the whole night

Because Margherita is a dream,
because Margherita is a life's salt
Because Margherita is a wind
and she doesn't know that she can hurt
Because Margherita is everything
and she is my madness
Margherita, Margherita
Margherita now...is mine

Margherita (now)...is mine - (the lyrics end with Margherita adesso...e mia)

We love how you make the guitar talk. You manage to transmit more than you can imagine with it. The words don't lack to know that the feeling it transmits, is alive. Thank you for being part of this great musical revolution again.
