Renato Russo

I saw from the cathedral
You were watching me
And I saw from the cathedral
What I should be

So take my lies
And take my time
'Cause all the others want to take my life

And I watch, with an intent, basic
It's the same for you
You hold your hand
And it's all fine - laced and
What would you make me do

So take my lies
And take my time
'Cause all the others want to take my life

Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
Whole cotton whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be a place to go

You saw me, from the cathedral
Well, I'm an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
And here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are

And I saw from the cathedral
You were leaving me
And I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others want to take my life

So tired of broken hearts, of losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance
You are my destiny, I can't let go baby
Can't you see
Cupid please take your aim at me

Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
Cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
Perish the thought
Of ever leaving I never would

I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can't hide the need for two hearts that bleed
with burning love
That's the way it's got to be
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't understimate my point of view

Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
Cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
Perish the thought
Of ever leaving I never would

Who ? You ! Can't get away, I won't let you
Who ? You ! I could never forget to

Cherish is the world I use to remind me of
... your love

Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't understimate my point of view

Give me strength
Give me joy my boy
I will always
Cherish you

Dolce Maria,
dimentica i fiori
dipinti dal tempo, sopra il tuo viso,
e gli anni andati via
seduta ad aspettare
una lunga, lunga via
nessuna da incontrare...
Non voltarti piu
e il giorno arrivera, vestito di poesia
ti parlera di sogni, che non ricordavi piu,
e ti benedira Dolcissima Maria.
Dolce Maria,
dagli occhi puliti, dagli occhi bagnati
e tempo da andare; e presto sentirai
profumo di mattino, e il tordo cantera
volandoti vicino...non voltarti piu.
E qualcuno se vorrai, vestito di poesia
ti coprira d'amore
senza chiederti di piu e t'accarezzera
Dolcissima Maria

If I loved you
Time and again
I would try to say,
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an
Easy way
Round in circles I'd go
Longing to tell you
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances
Pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go
In the mist of day
Never never
To know
How I loved you
If I loved
You

Volevo dirti quello che
non sono riuscita a dire mai
ed ho tenuto chiuso in me
da troppo tempo ormai
ma c'e un amore che non so
piu nascondere perche
adesso ha bisogno anche di te
Volevo dirti solo che
sei sempre tu la mia allegria
che quando parli insieme a lei
diventa folle gelosia
per tutto quello che mi dai
anche quando non lo sai
questo io volevo dire a te
Di come quando non ci sei
io mi perdo sempre um po'
e poi mi accorgo che non so
piu divertirmi senza te
invece quando stai con me
anche il grigio intorno a noi
si colora della vita che gli dai
com'e difficile
dire tutto questo a te
che d'amore non parli mai
non ne parli mai con me
forse perche
hai paura come me
di una risposta che
ancora tu non sai qual e
volevo dirti quello che
non son riuscita a dire mai
ed ho tenuto chiuso dentro me
ma c'e un amore che non so
piu nascondere perche
adesso ha bisogno anche di te.

Sister, you've been on my mind
Sister, we're two of a kind
So sister, I'm keepin' my eyes on you
I betcha think I don't know nothin'
But singin' the blues
Oh sister, have I got news for you
I'm somethin'
I hope you think that you're somethin' too
Scufflin', I been up that lomesone road
And I seen a lot of suns goin' down
Oh, but trust me
Now low life's gonna run me around
So let me tell you somethin' sister
Remember your name
No twister, gonna steal your stuff away
My sister
Sho' ain't got a whole lot of time
So shake you shimmy,
Sister
'Cause honey I sure is feelin' time

scrivimi
quando il vento avra spogliato gli alberi
Gli altri sono andati al cinema
ma tu vuoi restare sola
Poca voglia di parlare
allora scrivimi
Servira a sentirti meno fragile
quando nella gente troverai
solamente indifferenza
tu non ti dimenticare mai di me
E se non avrai da dire
niente di particolare
non ti devi preoccupare
io sapro capire
A me basta di sapere
che mi pensi anche un minuto
perche io so accontentarmi
anche di un semplice saluto
Ci vuole poco
per sentirsi piu vicini
Scrivimi
quando il cielo sembrera piu limpido
Le giornate ormai si allungano
Ma tu non aspettar la sera
se hai voglia di cantare...
Scrivimi
anche quando penserai che ti sei innamorata
Tu scrivimi

Isn't it rich, are we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns
Send in the clowns

Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted
Was yours
Making my entrance again with my
Usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there

Don't you love farce,
My fault I fear,
I thought thar you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns

What a surprise!
Who could foresee
I'd come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now I see
That you've drifted away?
What a surprise...
What a cliche...

Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late
In my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care
Someday, somehow

We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care
Someday, somehow

We'll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a time for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday, somewhere
