I first sang this song in 2010 when my friend Mauro Durante invited me to perform with his band Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino at the festival Le Notte Bianca in Puglia. 'Bella ci dormi' was traditionally sung by musicians under the balconies of women who were being proposed to but the tradition of the serenade and the custom of paying a musician to sing as a gesture of love has all but disappeared. Even if the concept of the serenade could do with a little C21st tweaking, I can’t help thinking that making a mixtape or a digital playlist for someone doesn’t have quite the same romantic quality as being sung to under a balcony in the light of the full moon but I may be wrong! 
 
Mauro visited me recently at home as we were writing the lyrics for a song on the new album called Bring down the wall, my words in English, his in the Salentino dialect. In between writing lyrics, we also found the time to record together a new cover for Vol II of Songs I Love.

Here’s 'Bella Ci Dormi', as always it’s a simple, no frills recording with Mauro on violin and me on guitar. I really hope you’ll enjoy it!

El huracan - juan d'arienzo

Here we set our scene in the city of angels, poor little girl looks so pretty in high heels,
Waiting on a man who just couldn't give a damn, looking out the window wishing she could get.
Out of her own life where her soul could be free, break the status quo and and just take to the streets,
This city could save her it feels so right, she plans on leaving her life tonight.

In a hotel bar she finds herself sitting alone in search of thrill itself,
In walks a man what a sight to see, walks up to the bar and buys her a drink. 
She can't look away though she knows she should, she lived her whole life only doing good, 
But not this time she's become something else, this time she sets out to treat herself.

Temptation burns like a thousand fires, fueled by a whimsical heart's desire, 
It takes control of your mind and soul, leading you where every thought is not your own.
Insanity you beg for, please, bringing you to your knees,
Caress and squeeze is all you need, the rest will work itself out naturally.  

In the morning she wakes up in a hotel bed, remnants of last night in her head, 
She turns to see only empty sheets, leaving her with just some more shattered dreams,
She can't go back now she must move on, her old life is all but dead and gone,
She walks down stairs, to buy a drink, she smiles and says "ain't it good to be free?"

Temptation burns like a thousand fires, fueled by a whimsical heart's desire, 
It takes control of your mind and soul, leading you where every thought is not your own,
Insanity you beg for, please, Bringing you to your knees,
Caress and squeeze is all you need, the rest will work itself out naturally.
