somwhere

Laddove volano gli uccelli della felicità...
Metamorfosi che porta a sognare, e perché no, anche a cercare.
Oggi la parola l'arcobaleno quasi quasi ti tinge di un certo colore politico, mentre nei miei ricordi i colori dell'arcobaleno erano tutta un'altra cosa, almeno così era nella mia gioventù.

E nella mia gioventù c'era anche questa bellissima canzone:

L'originale di 'The Wizard of Oz' di Judy Garland (Grand Rapids 19/6/1922 – Londra 22/6/1969 - facilmente reperibile sul Youtube, basta mettere il titolo sul ricerca Google)


Over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

Mentre formidabile è la versione medley di Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (Oahu 20/5/1959 – Honolulu 26/6/1997, anche essa facilmente reperibile sul Youtube)

Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world

Uh….

Uh…
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of once in a lullaby

Oh…
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind… me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that’s where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you when there
I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I… I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than
We'll know
And then I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind… me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you'll find me
Oh somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?
Uh….uh….uh….
