Oggi al mio paese c'era il mercatino dell'antiquariato, è un mercatino grosso, passando davanti a una bancarella ho visto questo 33 giri tutto solo (non è vero, era con un'altra decina di dischi). Io non ho il giradischi e non colleziono vinili, però non ho potuto lasciarlo lì da solo (again).
Che ce ne facciamo?
Be intanto posso verificare il testo di Alone Again (naturally) che c'è su cartoni.hlp (ci sono i testi dentro), mi pare già di aver visto qualche differenza e poi si vedrà
Testo rispetto a quello di Cartoni.hlp Christmas 2005 edition
La punteggiatura è assurda, ma io l'ho riportata, ho anche modificato la suddivisione dei versi.
In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour;
I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to who-
Ever what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch At a church
Where people saying: ‘My God
That's tough, she's stood him up
No point in us remaining we may as well go home’ As I did on my own;
Alone again, Naturally
To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay;
Looking forward to, well who wouldn’t do the role I was about to play:
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around;
And without so much,
As a mere touch
Cut me into little peaces:
Leaving me to doubt Talk about
God inhis mercy, who if
He really does exist
Why did he desert me (and)* in my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, Naturally.
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended:
What do we do?
What do we do?
(Alone again, naturally)*
Now looking back over the years, And whatever else that appears;
I remember I cried, when my father died, never wishing to hide the tears:
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand why
The only man
She had ever loved had been taken:
Leaving her to start
With (the)* a heart
So badly broken,
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken and when she passed away
I cried and cried all day;
Alone again, Naturally
Alone again, Naturally
Per essere esatti, ALONE AGAIN e GET DOWN sono state usate come sigle per 1 solo episodio in quanto, in quel periodo, GILBERT avrebbe dovuto collaborare per una produzione di un MUSICAL (!!) ispirato da MAISON IKKOKU.
In ogni caso, ALONE AGAIN in Italia ebbe il suo successo (la sigla fu ripescata per MAISON IKKOKU e non scritta per...), e pure GILBERT non era così sconosciuto.... ogni tanto in radio passano questa canzone...
