This is a good song. It is actually inspired by The Police (Nek’s favorite band).

 

Lyrics:

Io oggi sto
per i cavoli miei
un perché non c’è
io ho staccato
già la spina e sono via
e che farò non so
mi lascio vivere
sdraiato nudo, così
e c’è chi solo non può
io invece no, io no, io no, io sto

solo
consideratemi sparito per un po’
ho cancellato questo giorno e gli altri no
e voglio scordarmi tutto
non fare nessun progetto
solo
consideratemi blindato a casa mia
sotto la doccia che i pensieri porta via
a cantare dietro la radio
o a fermare un’idea

e io così
mi ricarico un pò
si però
non è con voi che ce l’ ho
uno non è niente
se l’altra gente non si accorge che c’è
e ed io questo lo so
ma oggi no, io no io sto da

solo
consideratemi sparito per un pò
ho cancellato questo giorno e gli altri no
pensatemi che disegno
o semplicemente sogno
solo

e poi camminare scalzo
sui resti di un giorno perso
un morso di vita è andato via

solo
consideratemi sparito per un pò
ma non ci sto a guardare il mondo da un oblò
e voglio scendere per strada come sempre
cercare la gente

solo
consideratemi sparito per un pò
ho cancellato solo un giorno e gli altri no
che rinunciare neanche a un ora non si può
io no, io no.

 

Translation:

Today I will be
on my own
there is no reason why
I have already pulled out
the thorn and I am gone
and what I will do I do not know
I will let myself live
lying, naked like this
and there are those who cannot be alone
but not me, not me, not me, I am

alone
consider me all vanished for a little while
I have cancelled this day, the others not
and I want to forget about everything
not to work on any project
alone
consider me all shielded in my house
under the shower that takes away the thoughts
singing to the radio
or stopping an idea

and I, in this way,
recharge myself a bit
yes, but
it is not because of you
a person is not anything
if others do not take notice of him
and I know this
but today no, not me, not me, I am

alone
consider me all vanished for a little while
I have cancelled this day, the others not
think of me as I am drawing
or simply dreaming
alone!

and then walking barefoot
on the remains of a lost day
a bit of life has passed

alone
consider me all vanished for a little while
but I am not looking at the world out of a porthole
and I want to go into the streets like I always do
to look for people

alone
consider me all vanished for a little while
I have cancelled this day, the others not
it is not possible to renounce just one hour
not me, not me.

George Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008), one of the best stand-up comedians I know, has passed away. You may remember him as one of the most brilliant criticizers and debaters. He mostly talked about religion and human behaviors. Carlin was raised catholic but later became atheist and that made a large impact on his life.

This is the very first I heard of him about a year ago in school. Since then I was stuck and enjoyed listening to his talks.

 

Nickelback - Rockstar

Probably one of the best singers in Europe, perhaps the world, according to me. This song is the Spanish language-version of “Lascia che io sia”, sung by the same artist. Who am I talking about then? I’m talking about the Italian singer Nek (nome in arte di Filippo Neviani). There are a lot of videos on YouTube, both his Italian and Spanish songs. I strongly recommend this artist.  Well here’s “Para ti sería”, performed at Operación Triunfo (Spanish equivalent to Pop Idol) in Spain.

Para ti sería, I’m for you

This is a funny clip from a Spanish televison program called “El Intermedio”.

He says things he can’t understand. He’s in jail. Will he be released? Nah. Don’t think so.
