Steemit Open Mic Week 96 - Uomini soli by Pooh - Cover by Donatello

in #openmic6 years ago

Dear music lover

This is my contribution to this week's open mic.
I love this song but only lately I resumed to play it. In the video I had trouble with the autoscroll and I was having problems reading the lyrics on the screen. Overall I like the rendition and I hope you do too.

"Uomini soli" by Pooh was the winning song of the 40th annual Sanremo Music Festival and was released in 1990.

Italian

Uomini soli

Li incontri dove la gente
viaggia e va a telefonare
col dopobarba che sa di pioggia
e la ventiquattro ore
Perduti nel Corriere della sera
nel va e vieni di una cameriera
Ma perché ogni giorno viene sera?

A volte un uomo è da solo
perché ha in testa strani tarli,
perché ha paura del sesso
o per la smania di successo,
per scrivere il romanzo che ha di dentro,
perché la vita l’ha già messo al muro
o perché in mondo falso
è un un uomo vero

Ritornello:
Dio delle città e dell'immensità,
se è vero che ci sei e hai viaggiato più di noi -
vediamo se si può imparare questa vita
e magari un po' cambiarla prima che ci cambi lei.
Vediamo se si può farci amare come siamo
senza violentarci più con nevrosi e gelosie,
perché questa vita stende e chi è steso
dorme o muore, oppure fa l'amore

Ci sono uomini soli per la sete d'avventura,
perché han studiato da prete
o per vent'anni di galera,
per madri che non li hanno mai svezzati,
per donne che li han rivoltati... e persi
o solo perché sono dei diversi

Ritornello:
Dio delle città e dell'immensità,
se è vero che ci sei e hai viaggiato più di noi
vediamo se si può imparare queste donne
e cambiarle un po' per loro, e cambiarle un po’ per noi
Ma Dio delle città e dell'immensità
magari tu ci sei e problemi non ne hai
ma qua giù non siamo in cielo e se un uomo
perde il filo è soltanto un uomo solo

English translation

Lonely men

You find them where people
Travel and go to make phone calls
With an aftershave lotion that tastes of rain
And their briefcase
Lost in the 'Corriere della Sera'
in the coming and going of a waitress
Why does evening come every day?

Sometimes a man is alone
Because there are strange thoughts in his mind
Because he is afraid of sex
Or because he craves for success
Because he wants to write the novel he keeps inside
Because life has him over a barrel
Or because in a false world
He is a true man

Chorus:
O God of cities and of immensity
If it is true that you exist and travelled more than we did
Let's see if one can learn this life
And change it a bit, perhaps, before it changes us
Let's see if it's possible that we love ourselves as we are
Not raping ourselves with obsessions and resentments
Because this life knocks down and who has been knocked
Sleeps or dies, or makes love

There are men who are alone for thirst for adventure
Because they studied to become priests
Or because they spent twenty years in jail
Because of mothers who never weaned them
Because of women who flipped them over, and lost them
Or just because they are different

Chorus:
O God of cities and of immensity
If it is true that you exist and travelled more than we did
Let's see if one can learn these women
And change them a bit for their sake, change them a bit for ours
But, o God of cities and of immensity
Perhaps you exist and have no problems
But down here we are not in heaven and if a man
Loses the thread, he is only a lonely man
