Nuvole barocche: Nuvole barocche - Baroque Clouds

Poi un'altra giornata di luce poi un altro di questi tramonti e portali colonne fontane. Tu mi hai insegnato a vivere insegnami a partir. Ma il cielo è tutto rosso di nuvole barocche sul fiume che si sciacqua sotto l'ultimo sole. E mentre soffio a soffio le spinge lo scirocco sussurra un altro invito che dice di restare. Poi carezze lusinghe abbandoni poi quegli occhi di verde dolcezza mille e una di queste promesse. Tu mi hai insegnato il sogno io voglio la realtà. E mentre soffio a soffio le spinge lo scirocco sussurra un altro invito che dice devi amare che dice devi amare. Nuvole barocche © 1961 Fabrizio De André/Gianni Lario/Carlo Stanisci "Nuvole barocche" was the first song written by De André and was the A side of the first 45 released by the Karim label, in 1961. The song had been written in 1958 and had more the vocal style of "Volare" by Domenico Modugno, a song that had taken the world by storm also in 1958. Official credits aside, the lyrics of the song were co-written by De André and Gianni Cozzo (Giannilario), and the music was written by Umberto Bindi. The song is far from trademark De André, who wrote this song off, along with "Fu la notte," as retro "sins of youth." "Volare," the smash hit of 1958 that probably indirectly influenced "Nuvole barocche."

Then another day of light, then another of these sunsets, and portals, columns, fountains. You taught me to live, teach me to leave. But the sky is all red with baroque clouds over the river that rinses itself under the setting sun. And while breath by breath the cool damp sirocco wind pushes them on, it whispers another invitation that says to stay. Then caresses, lures, moments of abandon, then those eyes of green sweetness, a thousand and one of these promises. You taught me the dream, I want the reality. And while breath by breath the cool damp sirocco wind pushes them on, it whispers another invitation that says you must love, that says you have to love.
