Pazzi per Sting


E anche questo compleanno.... E così, come anticipato, il post di oggi è il post post concerto di giovedì. Grande prova di Sting all'Ippodromo del Visarno di Firenze. E come faccio dopo ogni concerto ecco un brano del protagonista. Ho scelto "Mad about you" dall'album "The Soul Cages" del 1991. Vincent sicuramente avrebbe fatto riferimento alla cover / duetto di Zucchero che l'ha incisa col titolo "Muoio per te" e così lo brucio direttamente nel post ma avremo modo di riparlarne... Buon sabato!Mad about you (Sting)A stone's throw from JerusalemI walked a lonely mile in the moonlightAnd though a million stars were shiningMy heart was lost on a distant planetThat whirls around the April moonWhirling in an arc of sadnessI'm lost without you I'm lost without youThough all my kingdoms turn to sandAnd fall into the seaI'm mad about you I'm mad about youAnd from the dark secluded valleysI heard the ancient sighs of sadnessBut every step I thought of youEvery footstep only youAnd every star a grain of sandThe leavings of a dried up oceanTell me, how much longer? How much longer?They say a city in the desert liesThe vanity of an ancient kingBut the city lies in broken piecesWhere the wind howls and the vultures singThese are the works of manThis is the sum of our ambitionIt would make a prison of my lifeIf you became another's wifeWith every prison blown to dustMy enemies walk freeI'm mad about you I'm mad about youAnd I have never in my lifeFelt more alone than I do nowAlthough I claim dominions over all I seeIt means nothing to meThere are no victoriesIn all our histories, without loveA stone's throw from JerusalemI walked a lonely mile in the moonlightAnd though a million stars were shiningMy heart was lost on a distant planetThat whirls around the April moonWhirling in an arc of sadnessI'm lost without you I'm lost without youAnd though you hold the keys to ruinOf everything I seeWith every prison blown to dust,My enemies walk freeThough all my kingdoms turn to sandAnd fall into the seaI'm mad about you I'm mad about you
