  • 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.
