Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Forse la mia canzone italiana preferita.

Anche perchè, nonostante la cosa sfugga a tiffany , la concorrenza è scarsa.

grande Cianby

quoto

soprattutto perchè in ItaGlia più del solito commerciale "sto male d'amore" c'è poca roba e poca decente.

E' tutto un Sanremo style.

Se escludiamo l'autore di questa canzone e CapaRezza ce ne sono pochi che fanno buona musica con buoni testi.

Mimmo Cavallo non è male, soprattutto per i testi "graffianti"

Peccato risulti quasi sconosciuto, fatta eccezione per questi due pezzi (piuttosto datati a dire il vero...)

Mimmo Cavallo - Siamo Meridionali
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=erJNjDEg2r4

siamo meridionali
e abbiamo stati tutti quanti abituati male
sospettate di noi, sospettate
fate fate pure, fate come vi pare

siamo meridionali
dovete costruire le centrali nucleari
stiamo qua noi approfittate di noi
che fate non ne approfittate

siamo mezzi marocchini e che vuoi
teniamo l'africa vicino
e stampiamo creature brutte, nere, arricciolate
ci vengono naturalmente affumicate

siamo meridionali
e teniamo tutti quanti la terza elementare
approfittate che non abbiamo arte ne parte
e siamo abituati a perde'...

ghetto! allora e' un ghetto!
ghetto! oh no no no, ghetto!
ghetto! ma ci va stretto...
salvateci dal ghetto!

siamo meridionali
siamo fatti alla maniera tradizionale
carddinali e vescovi mezzi bianchi e mezzi neri
e quelli che non son preti? so' carabinieri!

sentie come parlamm' male ah...
abbiamo nati a 'nu paise meridionale
Se ci date aiuto ci basta nu mese
mparamm' tutti quant' u piemontese..ne!

nui meridionali stamm' dappertutto
se ci danno 'na mano ci pigliamo tutto
siamo neri, brutti, inutili nei
e rumpimm 'e palle ..... pe' l'ebrei

nui meridionali sozzi comm' e ragni
coltiviamo pomodori dint' e vasch' e bagni
la fatica non ammazza chi la odia e chi la apprezza
e a nui meridionali ci puzza pecche' pecche'

siamo meridionali
e teniamo 'na resistenza eccezionale
digiuniamo tutto ilmese e chi se ne importa
campamm' cu' e canzune e con la buona sorte

ghetto! allora e' un ghetto!
ghetto! oh no no no, ghetto!
ghetto! ma ci va stretto...
maledetto!

siamo meridionali...
... e stiamo bene uguale...!

e stiamo bene uguale senza neanche una lira
e gia' la polizia arresta chi respira
so chiacchiere che dio si e' scordato di noi
noi staimo bene uguale lo scrivono i giornali

e stiamo bene uguale in questa condizione
disperatamente alla ricerca di un nuovo padrone
fa bene alla psiche stare come gli animali
noi stiamo bene uguale, noi staimo bene uguale,
il sud e' una famiglia parastatale !

ghetto! allora e' un ghetto!
ghetto! oh no no no, ghetto!
ghetto! ma ci va stretto...
ghetto!


Mimmo Cavallo - Uh, Mammà 
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=dzDBB3iWL ... re=related

stanno già  arrivando, uh mammà 
non è vero niente, figlio mio non ti agitare
eppure sento che sparano, uh mammà 
son fratelli a noi, ci vengono a liberà 
son fratelli a noi, son fratelli a noi, son fratelli a noi, ci vengono a liberà 
son fratelli a noi, ci vengono a liberà 
stanno già  morendo, uh mammà 
muoiono i liberatori per poterci liberà 
ma mamma sparano su di noi, uh mammà 
lo so figlio mio, ma lo fanno per necessità 
tieni a mente sempre
son fratelli a noi, son fratelli a noi, son fratelli a noi, ci vengono a liberà 
ci stanno occupando, uh mammà 
il fatto è temporaneo poi ci dovrebbero lasciare
hanno aggiunto alla bandiera uno stemma blu, uh mammà 
e non sei più contento, mo' teniamo un colore in più
e scrivo una canzone, uh mammà 
bravo, sfogati figlio mio, che questo lo puoi fare
e scivi una canzone evasiva, uh mammà 
ma non metterci opinioni
fai la musica quella di evasione
tieni a mente sempre
son fratelli a noi, son fratelli a noi, son fratelli a noi, ci vengono a liberà 
son fratelli a noi....
e scappo via da casa uh, mammà 
che vai a fare sopra ai monti se neanche sai sparar
quelli mo si mettono d'accordo uh, mammà 
è destino della vita nostra sopporta'
oh mamma ciao, so' fratelli a noi...oh mamma ciao, so' fratelli a noi...
oh mammà  ciao, so' fratelli a noi ci vengono a liberà ....

The Police - Spirits in the material world

http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-Obdx0nnM0

There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But its the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If its something we cant buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover
Oh

The Police - Bombs Away

http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=XmUG8Ue3aYE

The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his officers stink
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

The President looks in the mirror and speaks
His shirts are clean but his country reeks
Unpaid bills
In Afghanistan hills

Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay

The general only wants to teach France to dance
His army life doesn't give him any romance
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his company stinks
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet

Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay

The Police - Shadows In The Rain

http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=O5mvYjtDDnk

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Don't know exactly where I am
And I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can

He claims I suffer from delusions
Yet I'm so confident I'm sane
It can't be no optical illusion
So how can you explain
Shadows in the rain

And if you see us on the corner
And we're dancing in the rain
I join my friends there when I see them
Outside my window pane
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Don't know exactly where I am
I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can

Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

The Police - On Any Other Day

http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=1EgbFdOg8z8

You got it.
There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it

There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it

And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay

Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?

My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day

Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me

The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery

My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day

And it would be O.K. on any other day

The Police - Peanuts

http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cy1FqY3dKk

It's all a game
You're not the same
Your famous name
The price of fame

Oh no
Try to liberate me
I said oh no
Stay and irritate me
I said oh no
Try to elevate me
I said oh no
Just a fallen hero

Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking
Don't wanna read about the love you're making
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking
Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking

You sang your song
For much too long
The songs they're wrong
The bread has gone

Oh no
Try to liberate me
I said oh no
Stay and irritate me
I said oh no
Try to elevate me
I said oh no
Just a fallen hero

Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking
Don't wanna read about the love you're making
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking
Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking

It's all a game
You're not the same
Your famous name
The price of fame

Oh no
Try to liberate me
I said oh no
Stay and irritate me
I said oh no
Try to elevate me
I said oh no
Just a fallen hero
(Oh, you're just a fallen hero)

Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking
Don't wanna read about the love you're making
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking
Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking

Don't wanna find out what you've been taking
Don't wanna read about the love you're making
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking
Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking

Don't wanna find out what you've been taking
Don't wanna read about the love you're making
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking
Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking

Peanuts, peanuts

Oh, no, no
Oh, no, no

Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=FXT1ten2S ... re=related

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the colour of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take 'till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you, and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

Billy Joel - Piano Man
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ1_M_L_R ... re=related

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
He says: "Son can you play me a melody?
I'm not really sure how it goes,
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
when I wore a younger man's clothes."
La la di di da
la la di di da
da dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
We're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drink for free
And he's quick with a joke
or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says: "Bill, I believe this is killing me,"
as the smile ran away from his face,
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
if I could get out of this place."
La la di di da
la la di di da
da dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davey
who's still in the Navy
and probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
as the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
We're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright
La la di di da
la la di di da
da dum
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
and the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me
they've been coming to see
to forget about life for awhile
And the piano sounds like a carnival
and the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
and say: "Man, what are you doing here?"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
We're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright
La la di di da
la la di di da
da dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
We're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright
and you've got us feeling alright

sfido chiunque ad abbassare il livello come lo sto facendo io


Kiss me out of the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor.
Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance,
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me

Ai miei cari amici forumisti: a questa canzone prestate particolare attenzione.

Se io fossi San Gennaro - Federico Salvatore http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=Iig9RPSiU ... re=related

Se io fossi san Gennaro non sarei cosi' leggero
Con i miei napoletani io m'incazzerei davvero
Come l'oste fa i conti dopo tanto fallimento
Senza troppi complimenti sarei cinico e violento

Vorrei dire al costruttore del centro direzionale
Che ci puo' solo pisciare perche' ha fatto un orinale
Grattacieli di dolore un infarto nella storia
Forse e' solo un costruttore che ha perduto la memoria

Nei meandri dei quartieri di madonne e di sirene
Paraboliche ed antenne sono aghi nelle vene
E nei vicoli dei chiostri di pastori e vecchi santi
Le finestre anodizzate sono schiaffi ai monumenti

E' come sputare in faccia ai D'angio' agli Aragona
Cancellare via le tracce di una Napoli padrona
E' lo sforzo di cagare dell'ignobile pappone
Sulle perle date ai porci da Don Carlo di Borbone

E' percio' che mi accaloro coi politici nascosti
Perche' solamente loro sono i veri camorristi
A cui Napoli da sempre ha pagato la tangente
E qualcuno l'ha incassata con il sangue della gente

E per certi culi grossi il traguardo e' la poltrona
E per noi poveri fessi basta solo un Maradona
E il miracolo richiesto di quel sangue rosso chiaro
Lo sa solo Gesu' Cristo che quel sangue e' sangue amaro

Lo sa il Cristo ch'e' velato di vergogna e di mistero
Da quel nobile alchimista principe di Sansevero
E con lui lo sa Virgilio il sincero Sannazzaro
Giambattista della Porta che il colpevole e' il denaro

E nessuno dice basta per il culto della festa
E di Napoli che resta sotto gli occhi del turista
Via i vecchi marciapiedi che hanno raccontato molto
Pietre laviche e lastroni seppelliamoli d'asfalto...
...l'appalto

Ma non posso piu' accettare l'etichetta provinciale
E una Napoli che ruba in ogni telegiornale
Una Napoli che puzza di ragu' di malavita
Di spaghetti cocaina e di pizza margherita

Di una Napoli abusiva paradiso artificiale
Con il sogno ricorrente di fuggire e di emigrare
E di un popolo che a scuola ha creato nuovi corsi
E la cattedra che insegna qual'e' l'arte di arrangiarsi

Io non posso piu' accettare l'etichetta di terrone
E il proverbio che ogni figlio e' nu bello scarrafone
E mi rode che Forcella e' la kasba del furbone
Che ti scambia con il pacco uno stereo col mattone

Se io fossi San Gennaro giuro che vomiterei
La mia rabbia dal Vesuvio farei peggio di Pompei
E poiche' c'ho preso gusto con la scusa del santone
Io ritengo che sia giusto fare pure qualche nome

Chiedere a Pino Daniele che fine ha fatto terra mia
Siamo lazzari felici quanno chiove 'a pecundria
Napule e' 'na carta sporca Napule e' mille paure
Ma pe' chhiste viche nire so' passate 'sti ccriature

Da Pontano a Paisiello Giulio Cesare Cortese
Da Basile a Totonno Petito fino a Benedetto Croce
Da Di Giacomo a Viviani poi Caruso coi Parisi
Da Toto' ai De Filippo fino a Massimo Troisi

C'e' passato Genovesi e Leopardi con orgoglio
La romantica Matilde e il mattino di Scarfoglio
Filangieri Cardarelli tutto l'oro di Marotta
C'e' passata la madonna che ora vedi a Piedigrotta

Un Luciano De Crescenzo Bellavista di Milano
E Sofia che da Pozzuoli oggi parla americano
Un Roberto De Simone che le ha preso pure il cuore
Ora cerca di sfruttarala Federico Salvatore

Ma non posso tollerare chi si arroga poi il diritto
Di cambiare e trasformare tutto cio' che e' stato fatto
Di chi vuol tagliar la corda con la vecchia tradizione
Di chi ha messo nella merda la cultura e la canzone

Io non posso sopportare che un signore nato a Foggia
Porta Napoli nel mondo e la stampa lo incoraggia
E che il critico ha concesso al neomelodico l'evento
Di buttare in fondo al cesso Napoli del novecento

Perche' ancora io ci credo e mi incazzo ve lo giuro
Che Posillipo e Toledo li divide un vecchio muro
Come quello di Berlino che ci spacca in due meta'
Uno e' figlio 'e bucchino l'altro e' figlio 'e papa'

Se io fossi San Gennaro giuro che mi vestirei
Pulcinella Che Guevara e dal cielo scenderei
Per gridare alla mia gente tutto cio' che mi fa male
E finire da innocente pure io a Poggioreale

Perche' come Gennarino sono vecchio in fondo al cuore
La speranza Iervolino puo' lenire il mio dolore?
Io ho capito che la vita e' solo un viaggio di ritorno
Che domani e' gia' finito e che ieri e' un nuovo giorno

Sembra un gioco di parole ma mi sento piu' sicuro
Coi progetti dal passato e i ricordi del futuro
E alla fine del mio viaggio chiedo a Napoli perdono
Se ho cercato con coraggio di restare come sono
