Default Un Fine Settimana al Mare

Stephanie: Che cosa fai questo fine settimana?

Jeaniegina: Niente di speciale, e tu? Devi lavorare?

Stephanie: No, voglio fare un giro, forse visitare
una citta. Vuoi venire con me?

Stephanie: Perche no? Pero' fa un po' troppo caldo per passare il fine settimana in citta!

Jeaniegina: Ho un'idea! Perche non andiamo due giorni al mare? Possiamo prendere il
treno venerdi pomeriggio e tornare domenica sera.

Stephannie: E un'ottima idea. Possiamo andare a Lerici; conosco una piccola pensione
vicino alla spiaggia, e' tranquilla e costa poco. Devo prenotare due camere?

Jeaniegina: Si, e io compro i biglietti e prenoto i posti in treno.

Stephannie: Che bello! Possiamo andare in spiaggia, prendere il sole, nuotare, andare al
ristorante e poi voglio anche andare dalla mia amica Aliena. Non vedo l'ora!

(Lerici is a town and commune in the province of La Spezia in Liguria, part of the Italian Riviera.
Its nearest bay is the Bay of Lerici. The town is connected by ferry to the Cinque Terre and Portovenere.)

Ahhhhhhhh Lerici,

My wife and I stumbled upon this little haven of bliss while driving to Milan. We came up the coast from rome. We stayed at a great hotel overlooking all the small boats and the castle up on the left of the harbor. After we had a bottle of prosecco on our balcony we walked to dinner on the piazza. Great dinner and sunset. As we were walking around it was pretty dark and we heard some great music playing. Probably from some kitchen. And we started to dance in the dark. As we finished the song I remember dipping my wife and kissing her. It was then that we heard clapping from all the dark corners of the piazza. We were surprised but very happy. I shall always remember that night.

Mille Grazia Lerici!

So romantic, just like a scene from a movie...

This is an Italian classic from the 60s


Sapore di sale, sapore di mare
che hai sulla pelle, che hai sulle labbra
quando esci dall'acqua e ti vieni a sdraiare
vicino a me, vicino a me.
Sapore di sale, sapore di mare
un gusto un po' amaro di cose perdute
di cose lasciate lontano da noi
dove il mondo è diverso, diverso da qui.

Il tempo è nei giorni che passano pigri
e lasciano in bocca il gusto del sale
ti butti nell'acqua e mi lasci a guardarti
e rimango da solo nella sabbia e nel sole.
Poi torni vicino e ti lasci cadere
così nella sabbia e nelle mie braccia
e mentre ti bacio sapore di sale
sapore di mare, sapore di te

PS Take a look at the video too: So many years before MTV !

Classic!

Paolo, How about a complete translation into standard English.

A taste of salt, a taste of the sea
that you have on your skin, that you have on your lips
when you get out of the water and you come to sdraiare near me, me.

Sapore of salt, sapore of sea
a a little bitter taste of lost things
of things left far away from us
where various, various the world from here.
