Description
Instrumental version of a song in Dorian mode originally written for alto voice and guitar (also with guitar chord names) written for a friend in her appartment in Ghemme, Northern Italy.
The words of the original song are partly in Italian and partly in English, as follows:
Qui e adesso amore mio.
A Ghemme non so che voglio.
[Here and now, my love.
In Ghemme I don’t know what I want]
Land of fuzzy fizzy foggy friendliness
Alpine heights and glowing plains
land of lovely people and fruitfulness
village feasts and bobbly trains
Qui e adesso amore mio.
A Ghemme non so che voglio
Italy, you land of musicality
Fill my soul and make it heard
Not with love if only love’s banality
For then ’tis best not to have sung a word
Qui e adesso amore mio.
A Ghemme non so che voglio
My love can hear the bells ring from your steeple
see the mountains in the sun
hear the singing language of your people
smile and dance and sing like none
Qui e adesso amore mio.
A Ghemme non so che voglio.
Amore mio dove sono Dove siamo?
[My love where am I? Where are we?]
