- I made a synth cover of this Italian song of 1977 by Angelo Branduardi, the most gifted Italian pop musician in my opinion. The song in Italy is so popular that is used as a lullaby for children. Contrary to my habits I'm not subbing the text in English because it's an iterative nursery rhyme that in spoken Italian sounds enthralling but in written English may appear dull and tasteless.
However I'm giving below the lyrics both in Italian and English
Here you can hear the original acoustic version:
• Angelo Branduardi - La...
I claim no ownership on this song that I’m only playing for entertainment, with no commercial purpose
La Pulce D'acqua
E` la pulce d'acqua
che l'ombra ti rubò
e tu ora sei malato
e la mosca d'autunno
che hai schiacciato
non ti perdonerà.
Sull'acqua del ruscello
forse tu troppo ti sei chinato,
tu chiami la tua ombra,
ma lei non ritornerà.
E` la pulce d'acqua
che l'ombra ti rubò
e tu ora sei malato
e la serpe verde
che hai schiacciato
non ti perdonerà.
E allora devi a lungo cantare
per farti perdonare
e la pulce d'acqua che lo sa
l'ombra ti renderà.
The Water-Flea
It's the water-flea
that stole your shadow
and now you are ill,
and the autumn fly
That you crushed
won't forgive you
On the water of the brook
maybe you stooped too forward,
you call your shadow
but she won't come back.
It's the water-flea
that stole your shadow,
and the green snake
that you trod on
won't forgive you
Then long you have to sing
to obtain forgiveness,
and when the water-flea
will acknowledge it
will give you your shadow back. - Hudba
