Sunday Song – Jovanotti – Ora - Le Tasche Piene Di Sassi -

 

 

Lorenzo Jovanotti is a very popular Italian singer, songwriter who was born in Rome on 27th of September 1966 and has been performing professionally since his first album was released in 1987.

I have featured Lorenzo Jovanotti before for Sunday Song and have included some links to them at the end of this post. I am featuring him again as this week I decided that I would feature whichever Italian artist was the highest in this weeks Italy Top Twenty Chart and at number two up one place from last week is Lorenzo Jovanotti singing Le Tasche Pieni Di Sassi - The pockets full of stones.

'Ora' – Universal 2011

This single is taken from his latest album 'Ora' which was released on January 25th 2011 and was much awaited by his fans as the last album Safari was released three years ago. 

The first single from 'Ora' was released before Christmas and went straight to the top of the Italian music charts Tutto L'Amore Che Ho – All The Love I Have.

Here is the latest single from the album, ‘Le Tasche Pieni Di Sassi’, which was at the Number Two slot in the Italy Top Twenty Chart  for April 10th 2011, will it make Number One this week I wonder.

Volano le libellule,
sopra gli stagni e le pozzanghere in città,
sembra che se ne freghino,
della ricchezza che ora viene e dopo va,
prendimi non mi concedere,
nessuna replica alle tue fatalità,
eccomi son tutto un fremito ehi.
Passano alcune musiche,
ma quando passano la terra tremerà,
sembrano esplosioni inutili,
ma in certi cuori qualche cosa resterà,
non si sa come si creano,
costellazioni di galassie e di energia,
giocano a dadi gli uomini,
resta sul tavolo un avanzo di magia.
Sono solo stasera senza di te,
mi hai lasciato da solo davanti al cielo
e non so leggere, vienimi a prendere
mi riconosci ho le tasche piene di sassi.
Sono solo stasera senza di te,
mi hai lasciato da solo davanti a scuola,
mi vien da piangere,
arriva subito,
mi riconosci ho le scarpe piene di passi,
la faccia piena di schiaffi,
il cuore pieno di battiti
e gli occhi pieni di te.
Sbocciano i fiori sbocciano,
e danno tutto quel che hanno in libertà,
donano non si interessano,
di ricompense e tutto quello che verrà,
mormora la gente mormora
falla tacere praticando l'allegria,
giocano a dadi gli uomini,
resta sul tavolo un avanzo di magia.
Sono solo stasera senza di te,
mi hai lasciato da solo davanti al cielo
e non so leggere, vienimi a prendere
mi riconosci ho un mantello fatto di stracci.
Sono solo stasera senza di te,
mi hai lasciato da solo davanti a scuola,
mi vien da piangere,
arriva subito,
mi riconosci ho le scarpe piene di passi,
la faccia piena di schiaffi,
il cuore pieno di battiti
e gli occhi pieni di te.
Sono solo stasera senza di te,
mi hai lasciato da solo davanti al cielo
vienimi a prendere
mi vien da piangere,
arriva subito,
mi riconosci ho le scarpe piene di sassi,
la faccia piena di schiaffi,
il cuore pieno di battiti
e gli occhi pieni di te.

Flying dragonflies,
over ponds and puddles in the city,
think we cheaters,
wealth now comes and goes after,
I do not take me for granted
no replies to your fate,
hey here I am all a quiver.
They spend some of the music,
but when they pass the earth will tremble,
explosion seem unnecessary,
but in some hearts will be something,
do not know how to create,
clusters of galaxies, energy,
men playing dice,
remains on the table a surplus of magic.
I am alone tonight without you,
you left me alone in front of sky
and I can not read, Find me, take
I acknowledge I have a pocket full of stones.
I am alone tonight without you,
you left me alone in front of school
I feel like crying,
comes immediately,
I acknowledge I have shoes full of feet,
a face full of slapping,
a heart full of beats
and eyes full of you.
The flowers bloom,
and give all I have freedom,
give are not interested,
of rewards and all that comes,
murmurs murmurs people
flaw silent practicing cheer,
men playing dice,
remains on the table a surplus of magic.
I am alone tonight without you,
you left me alone in front of sky
and I can not read, Find me, take
I acknowledge I have a coat made of rags.
I am alone tonight without you,
you left me alone in front of school
I feel like crying,
comes immediately,
I acknowledge I have shoes full of feet,
a face full of slapping,
a heart full of beats
and eyes full of you.
I am alone tonight without you,
you left me alone in front of sky
Find me, take
I feel like crying,
comes immediately,
I acknowledge I have shoes full of rocks,
a face full of slapping,
a heart full of beats
and eyes full of you.
