DESPERATION

Edizioni Freedom, anno 1973

"Desperation" � un album molto particolare, sia perch� � l'unico nella discografia cantato interamente in inglese (esistono versioni in inglese di molte canzoni di Ivan: ad esempio "Il Campo della Fiera" � stata inizialmente in inglese, come "Il topo (Signore delle fogne)", ma non sono mai state registrate), sia perch� � l'unico in cui una canzone viene cantata da un "UFO" (non possiamo dire di pi�, provate a scoprire di che canzone si tratta e chi � "l'UFO"...).

"Desperation" � il cugino inglese de "La citt� che io vorrei", infatti, oltre a essere stato pubblicato nello stesso anno dalla stessa Casa Discografica, contiene una canzone, "Sometimes Mary Anna" che � la versione inglese di "A volte in primavera".

Sappiamo che in questo album mancano molti testi, ma, come avrete notato, � interamente cantato in inglese e la copia che abbiamo trovato si sente molto male. Se riuscite a capirci qualcosa, fatecelo sapere...

DESPERATION

(parole e musica di Ivan Graziani)

Per gent. conc. Edizioni Freedom

 

In the centre of Ceymon city

do you know what I mean?

living alone in a dark room

on a side walk in the bar

where I see down sea.

I was thinking about the good times

and the words of my uncle John

but this promise should be wrong, so

I sing a song: Desperation...

Desperation, Desperation...

And got no bread

do you know what I mean?

woman in black never sing

only dreams of a woman in love with me.

I was thinking about the good times

and the kiss of my mountain girl

I was sure I was doing well

in the grass with my old cow girl.

But I live in the Ceymon city

with the damp running down the wall

I don't think I can loose much more

no, I'm sure I can't loose much more

'cause I've already lost a war

I remember, I remember

And I remember, I remember

I don't remember...

But I live in Ceymon city

with the damp runnig down the wall

I don't think I can loose much more

no, I'm sure I can't loose much more

'cause I've already lost a war

I remember, I remember

I was thinking about the good times...

Desperation...

 

LIKE A BOY I CRIED

(parole e musica di Ivan Graziani)

Per gent. conc. Edizioni Freedom

 

When I found you're sad and blue

like a boy, like a boy, like a boy I cry.

When you said that we were true

you said you'd found somebody new

I think I'll soon be crying too...

When you told me you were true

like a girl, like a girl, like a girl you lie.

When I give my love to you

I know it wasn't really you

I know it wasn't really you

Making him happy

and making me fall for you

making him happy

and making me think you're true

think you're true...

THE MESSAGE

(parole e musica di Ivan Graziani)

Everybody is going to get a woman today.

Everybody is going to have some money today.

Money, woman, car and that's to travel away

drinking every even to the end of your days.

Everybody listen what I'm trying to say!

SOMETIMES MARYANNA

(parole e musica di Ivan Graziani)

Per gent. conc. Edizioni Freedom

 

Sometimes Mary Anna I really don't know why

that Lenin's revolution passed you by.

Listen Mary Anna, why don't you put a side

your pony tails and Elvis Presley stile.

I rember your lips with a sparklable whiteness above them

I rember the taste of the mint on your tongue

and the soap and the parsiment creams from the glossy magazine

and your picture of James Dean from the Metro Goldwin film

Good bye Mary Anna, good bye dusty girl

I leave you in your Boogie Boogie world

I rember your lips with a sparklable whiteness above them

I rember the taste of the mint on your tongue

and the soap and the parsiment creams from the glossy magazine

and your picture of James Dean from the Metro Goldwin film

Good bye Mary Anna, good bye dusty girl

I leave you in your Boogie Boogie world.

Good bye Mary Anna, Boogie Boo, Boogie Boo

Good bye Mary Anna, Boogie Boo, Boogie Boo...
