One of the most powerful and great love song ever.


Franco Battiato - La cura - Libero Video



La cura

Ti proteggerò dalle paure delle ipocondrie,
dai turbamenti che da oggi incontrerai per la tua via.
Dalle ingiustizie e dagli inganni del tuo tempo,
dai fallimenti che per tua natura normalmente attirerai.
Ti solleverò dai dolori e dai tuoi sbalzi d'umore,
dalle ossessioni delle tue manie.
Supererò le correnti gravitazionali,
lo spazio e la luce
per non farti invecchiare.
E guarirai da tutte le malattie,
perché sei un essere speciale,
ed io, avrò cura di te.
Vagavo per i campi del Tennessee
(come vi ero arrivato, chissà).
Non hai fiori bianchi per me?
Più veloci di aquile i miei sogni
attraversano il mare.
Ti porterò soprattutto il silenzio e la pazienza.
Percorreremo assieme le vie che portano all'essenza.
I profumi d'amore inebrieranno i nostri corpi,
la bonaccia d'agosto non calmerà i nostri sensi.
Tesserò i tuoi capelli come trame di un canto.
Conosco le leggi del mondo, e te ne farò dono.
Supererò le correnti gravitazionali,
lo spazio e la luce per non farti invecchiare.
TI salverò da ogni malinconia,
perché sei un essere speciale ed io avrò cura di te...
io sì, che avrò cura di te.



Traduzione:


I will protect you from the
Fears of hypochondry
From the struggles that from
Now on you will find on your way
From the unfairness and
The deceits of your time
From the failures that
Your nature would appeal
I will set you free from your
Pains and your changes of mood
From the obsessions of your manias
I’ll overcome the gravitation flows
The space and the light
Avoiding you to grow older
And you will be heal
From all of the illness
Because you are a special being
And I will take good care of you
I was drifting by the
Fields of the Tennesse
Who knows the way I arrived there
Don’t you have white flowers for me?
Faster then eagles my dreams
Crossed the sea
I’ll give you mainly the
Silence and the patience
We will walk together through the
Roads that leave to the absence
The smells of love will invade our bodies
The wealth of August won’t
Calm down our senses
I’ll weave your hair like
The storyline of a song
I know the laws uf the universe
And I will gift them to you
I’ll overcome the gravitational flows
The space and the light
Avoiding you to grow older
And you will be heal
From each depression
Because you are a special being
And I’ll take care of you
Yes I do, I’ll take care of you.

Yes, great song, how to sing about immense love without being cheesy or banal. Most Italian singers should learn from Battiato!
If I'm not wrong I also put it in my 15 great Italian songs list made for who wants to know Italian Music a little more.

EDIT: Yes, I found it there. I made a translation too, I post it to compare
Mine was far less literal, I have this policy regarding songs of trying to save the musicality of lines even by a different choice of words than the first entry on the dictionary


I'll protect you from the fear of hypocondrias
From the anxieties you'll find on your way
From the injustices and the deceptions of your time
From the failure that you normally will attract

I'll pick you up from pains and mood changes
From obsessions and manias
I will win gravitational streams
Space and light, not to make you grow old
And you'll be cured from all illnesses
Because you're a special being
And I'll take care of you

I was wandering through the fields of Tennessee
I don't know how I got there
You don't have white flowers for me
Faster than hawks my dreams cross the sea

I will bring you especially silence and patience
We will walk together on the roads which lead to essence
The smells of love will inebriate our bodies
The wind of August will not settle down our feelings
I'll weave your hair as with the lines of a song
I know the rules of the world and I'll give them to you

I will win gravitational streams
Space and light, not to make you grow old
I'll save you from all sadnesses
Because you're a special being
And I'll take care of you

Thanks a lot for your different translation
Non c'è niente da fare... con la traduzione questa canzone inevitabilmente perde magia, atmosfera, sfumature... e mi dispiace per chi non è italiano perchè non può assaporare appieno la dimensione di questa canzone.

Infatti è così, si sa la traduzione non può mai restituire le stesse emozioni del testo originale, ma le parole in questo caso sono così belle che traspira comunque la magia che c'è sotto
