Sotto il cielo d'Italia - Under Italy's Sky (Text in English)

Sotto il cielo d'Italia - Under Italy's Sky (actually you realize your first voice after macaroni was me so enjoy Chinese yes it blame it all China)

[Verse 1]

Walking through memories
Under those stars you used to know
Whiskey kisses, love burning low
You can't hide from it, darlin'
Those embers still glow

[Verse 2]

Heartstrings playin' guilty pain
Thoughts of her, like drivin' rain
Ghost lovers of the past
Secondhand smoke
It clings, it lasts

[Bridge]

An old flame 
You stirred up again 
Like a Hurricane 
Let's give her a real name
Secondhand Smoke  
She's just secondhand smoke (smoke)


[Chorus]

Secondhand Smoke 
From a fire you’ve been 
tending all night 
It’s something you can’t deny
So don’t even try 
Secondhand Smoke


She's just secondhand smoke
From a fire you’ve been 
tending all night 
It’s something you can’t deny
So don’t even try 
Secondhand Smoke
She's just secondhand smoke


Why play with smoke when you can play with fire?
 Baby why?


[Verse 3]

 I'm haunted by her face
Like a melody that time can't erase
Her silhouette dances, in the moonlight's glow
Secondhand smoke
don't wanna let go
Secondhand smoke
 don't wanna let go.



{Verse 4]

I'm the fire you been tending all night
It's something you can't deny
So don't even try 
Secondhand smoke
It's just secondhand smoke

Why play with smoke when you can play with fire?






Secondhand Smoke

🌾🍇 SOTTO IL CIELO D'ITALIA 🍇🌾

Under Italy's sky so bright
All seems perfect, a lovely sight
But at night, there’s fear to feel
Hearts turn cold, as hard as steel

For a stranger, they lend a hand
For Italians, none will stand
At forty, life’s a stormy gale
Only dust and winds prevail

The favored and the kin
Claim they’ve got the skill to win
But beneath this clear blue dome
Work’s a dream, a mirage alone

People push and rob to live
Broken dreams are all they give
Fleeing shadows, fears compile
Under Italy’s sky so fragile

But I still dream of a land anew
Where all have worth, and dreams come true
A place for all, no one denied
A hope that keeps my heart alive

The favored and the kin
Claim they’ve got the skill to win
But beneath this clear blue dome
Work’s a dream, a mirage alone

People push and rob to live
Broken dreams are all they give
Fleeing shadows, fears compile
Under Italy’s sky so fragile

But I still dream of a land anew
Where all have worth, and dreams come true
A place for all, no one denied
A hope that keeps my heart alive

mirage alone
mirage alone

The favored and the kin
Claim they’ve got the skill to win
But beneath this clear blue dome
Work’s a dream, a mirage alone

Sotto il cielo d'Italia

RENDEZ-VOUS AU PARADIS (Inspiré par DAMGA)

Inspired by The Screwtape Letters and 
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
 Psalms 25

You say you've got demons deep in your head
is that so? 
They won't leave you alone
Let's invite them to lunch lets break some bread
Sit down at the table, let's examine the fables and lies they said


[Verse 2]
Pull up a chair let's hear them explain
why they wanted to cause you such pain 
No need to fear you are stronger than you think
Let them confess their dirty deeds through their teeth as they feast
One by one let your fears flee

[Pre-chorus]

Together we can stand as one
Facing demons till they're gone
every last one
every last one

[Chorus]
Face your demons one by one
pull the masks from their faces
look them in the eyes
Ask them why they fell from God's graces
The daylight exposes
this scurrilous bunch
Let's confront them at the demons' lunch

[Verse 3]
No more accusations in the dark
You've got questions, leave your mark
This won't be the first time they fall
Sort it out once and for all 

Pass the salt let's banish the pain
Seek the truth break every chain
Pour another goblet of honest 
Now you know what makes them tick
Understand they are powerless

[Pre-chorus]
Together we can stand as one
Facing demons till they're gone
every last one


[Chorus]
Face your demons one by one
pull the masks from their faces
look them in the eyes
Ask them why they fell from God's graces
The daylight exposes
this scurrilous bunch
Let's confront them at the demons' lunch


Hand them the tab
let the demons pay the bill
A hemlock feast for the wicked beasts
This will be their last meal
