Enrico Mercuri writes to BtP about two versions, seemingly, of A Salty Dog in Italian, one by 'Giliath' and one by 'Alibani' [see here]
'I think that Giliath and Alibani are the same person. In fact the two versions (one by Oro - Onde Radio Ovest - released in 1994 on Sugar/Rti records, catalogue number Sgr 4418-2, and one by Camaleonti - released in 2001 on Nar records cat.num. n. 503043-4) have minimal differences (for example: 'you' than 'me'). The text below is Camaleonti version. Musical editor is "Aromando s.r.l."(indicated on the Oro CD, but not on the Camaleonti release).'
Un Angelo in Più |
|
A New Angel |
"Come sarà, amore mio la mia vita senza te |
|
How will it be, my love, my life without you? |
non mancherà la compagnia dei tuoi ricordi in me. |
|
With the memories I hold of you I shall not be alone. |
Se te ne andrai dai giorni miei e come un angelo in più, |
|
If you go and leave me like a new angel, |
io pregherò per te se vuoi da una casa in mezzo al blu. |
|
I shall pray for you if you want, from a house in the midst of the blue. |
Come sarà, amore mio la mia vita senza te, |
|
How will it be, my love, my life without you? |
aspetterò che ci sia anche tu, poi mangerò da me, |
|
I shall wait for you to join me, then I shall eat alone, |
lavorerò, impiegherò, dietro ad una scrivania, |
|
I shall work, I shall toil, at a writing-desk, |
Non potrò buttarmi via, perchè amore eterno è. |
|
I shan’t be able to tear myself away, for love is everlasting. |
E piangerò davanti ad un film che parlerà di noi, |
|
And I shall weep before a film that speaks of us, |
di me e di te, di quelli che non si perderanno mai. |
|
Of you and of me, of those who will never be apart. |
E se lassù fra il cielo e Dio, c'è un'eterna casa blu, |
|
And if up there between the sky and God there is an everlasting blue house |
chi va sù, amore mio, il nostro angelo in più". |
|
Who goes up there, my love, our new angel. |
