很多人喜欢意大利咖啡，特拉米苏，和有关那里的一切。意大利歌剧享誉世界，其流行歌曲也非常了得！且看这些不同时期的MV，《绵延的爱情故事》，《卡罗索》，《你好，生活》等等十首，喜欢足球的球迷，一定知道歌手Gianna Nannini。 歌词英文翻译来自网络，见附录，YouTube 视频也拍得相当不错。也许您对这些歌曲已经耳熟能详，都是讲述“爱”的。
“爱”不是几首歌或者几篇文章能够说的清，弗洛姆的《爱的艺术》算一本权威专著，有人称它为“广义成熟的爱”。意味着，还未成熟之前，爱的旅程已先行一步了，这就是为什么类似的歌曲如此多的原因之一吧。最近，在微信群里朋友圈看到复旦的一位教授开设“爱情”课程的视频自我介绍，South China Morning Post （Alice Yan, 2021/09/08）还专门报道了这事。教授的初衷不错，不过，最终有可能说不明，道不清，人生的体验可教否？心生好奇。
爱是广义的。其中一首Nonno Hollywood，是关于爷爷的歌。疫情前，很幸运，回家乡看望父母，期间，问过父亲，爷爷是谁？因为在自己记忆里，没有一点痕迹，父亲只说，你们一家已经写进家谱中了，然后，他从书架上拿出来一本类似县志的书，指着其中一页上一个名字说，“你爷爷叫…”，第一次知道爷爷叫什么名字，书上的只言片语也没有回答自己的疑问，感觉父亲欲言又止，只提到家乡的小学想恢复过去的校歌，同时翻到另外一页，指着说: “这个校歌是你大伯公写的，曲谱已经失传，学校联系上我，凭记忆恢复了曲谱。” 这也许是父亲要给我看的重点，看着父亲欣慰的样子，乘机问，爷爷长什么样，父亲说，“个头高大，平时很严肃…。” 我从父亲身上，看见爷爷的样子。
爱是一种平衡，失去平衡的爱是残缺的。平衡点在哪里？够人去捉摸阵子，且可接受的平衡方法也千差万别，其中，不乏一种可能，心里渴望遇到合适的人，结果“把自己变成了合适的人”。当然，也不缺乏一开始就遇到了合适的人，实属幸运。
“如果爱一个人，就爱其所爱”，这句话印象深刻，记不出自哪本读过的书，也算是一种寻找或者达到平衡的方法之一。于是，懂得了，经历了，下面这些意大利歌曲也就没有白唱了 。

（0）《盐的味道》（Sapore di sale - taste of salt, 1963 ），Gino Paoli新推出了Jazz 版本(2018)，老歌新唱，怀旧味道十足。Jazz风格，岁月悠悠，不枉此生否。
…
盐的味道，海的味道
失去的、远离的
有些苦涩
往事如风
时光悠悠
留下咸的记忆

被制作精美MV所吸引，黑白颜色让织构纹理变得清晰，如清晰的记忆一样，五线谱似的皱纹留在Gino Paoli的脸上。点击下面YouTube视频截图也可以打开音乐MV……
（2）Lucio Dalla—Caruso
Lucio Dalla为意大利男高音歌唱家Enrico Caruso（1873-2 ～ 1921-8） 创作了名曲《卡罗索》(Caruso,1986)。如果一个著名男歌手没有唱过这首歌，难以想象。包括Josh Groban, Julio Iglesias, Luciano Pavarotti，Andrea Bocelli等，很多女歌手也加入其中，比如Lara Fabian, Paula Seling（见下面YouTube视频）等。卢乔·达拉(Lucio Dalla)被赞誉为最具影响力、且赋有创意的意大利音乐人之一，他曾经在一次采访中谈起这首歌背后的故事，他的MV再现了采访内容（这里没有用这个YouTubeMV），视频里的，旅店房子里的钢琴上就放着Caruso的照片，其中穿插一些纪录片片段，故事里的故事一定有些凄凉，不论是男歌手还是女歌手演绎这首歌，还是单纯的音乐（如Chris Botti 的小号，豪哥Hauser的大提琴），都有一种无法抗拒的魅力，“如歌如泣”不过如此。

（0）Gino Paoli—Sapore di sal（试英译中）
Taste of salt, taste of sea
盐的味道，海的味道
that you have on your skin, that you have on your lips
你肌肤的味道，嘴唇的味道
when you come out the water and you come to lay near to me, near to me.
如出水芙蓉，躺在沙滩上
靠近我，靠近我
Taste of salt, taste of sea
盐的味道，海的味道
a taste a bit bitter of lost things
失去的、远离的
of things left far away from us
有些苦涩
where the world is different, different from here.
往事如风
The time is in the days that pass lazily
时光悠悠
and leave in the mouth the taste of the salt
留下咸的记忆
you jump in the water and you leave me to watch you
你拥抱大海，我在远方凝视着你
and I stay alone in the sand and the sun.
阳光沙滩上留下孤影
then you come back near and leave yourself fall down like this in the sand and in my arms
and while I kiss you taste of salt
taste of sea, taste of you
回到我的身旁，柔软的沙滩我的怀抱
亲吻你，
盐的味道、海的味道、你的味道

（1）Una lunga storia d’amore（A long love story）
When I saw you coming
beautiful as you are
it didn't seem possible to me that
you would notice me among so many people.
It was like flying
here in my room
as in your deepest sleep
I know you from the very beginning and I love you since never.
Pretend that you never leave me
even if it will have to end sooner or later
this long love story
now it's already late but it's early if you leave.
Pretend that it will pass only for the two of us
the time but it will not pass
this long love story
Now it's already late but it's early if you leave
It's too late but it's early if you leave.

（2）Lucio Dalla – Caruso
Here where the sea shines,
And the wind blows strong
On an old terrace
In front of the Gulf of Surriento
A man hugs a girl,
After she cries
Then he clears his throat,
And starts to sing again.
I love you very much
Oh so very much, you know
It’s now a chain
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea,
He thought of the nights there in America
But it was only the fishing lights
In the white wake of a propeller
He felt the pain in the music,
He got up from the piano
But when he saw the moon come out from behind a cloud
Even death seemed sweeter to him
He looked the girl in the eyes,
Those eyes as green as the sea
Then suddenly a tear fell,
And he thought he was drowning
I love you very much
Oh so very much, you know
It’s now a chain
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know
The power of opera,
Where every drama is a fake
With a little make-up and facial expressions
You can become someone else
But two eyes that look at you
So close and true
Make you forget the words,
They confuse thoughts
So everything becomes small,
Even the nights there in America
You turn around and see your life
Like the wake of a propeller
But yes, it’s life that ends,
But he didn’t think much about it
On the contrary, he already felt happy,
And his song began again
I love you very much
Oh so very much, you know
It’s now a chain
That melts the blood inside our veins, you know

(3) Hello life
Hello life
that is waiting for me
I have everything ready, steps through here
come, do not see that I'm lost
that's not normal at my age
I want to hear you give me an answer
that I can feel it and it comes inside me
for you I resist life
because I don't believe that God is already there
I'll hug you
so that you can't run away
don't say no to me
I'd like to love you like an idea
in these moments always remember that summer will arrive
and if you don't feel the heat
it is because it's already inside you
Hello world
what do you want me to say
of you I've only and always searched an escape
sometimes I listen to a falling leave
and the cement that knows how to wait for it
as the sun is resting in Winter
with the cold you are waiting for it
you discover yourself in Spring
because there is a flower there that wasn't before
And I'll hug you
so that you can't run away
don't say no to me
I'd like to love you like an idea
in these moments always remember that summer will arrive
and if you don't feel the heat
it is because it's already inside you
When I was 15 I was going to the park with headphones
now that's I'm 25 I'm going to the park with headphones
I like to start again from where I started
to be like the memory of my when I was a child
my dad said to me wake up and look for a good job
indeed I looked for it but then I lost who I am
I sat up at the piano and made a blood pact
to win I will have music
for her I shrugh my shoulder
Me, I'll hug you
so that you can't run away
don't say no to me
I'd like to love you like an idea
in these moments always remember that summer will arrive
and if you don't feel the heat
it is because it's already inside you
so don't be disappointed by yourself
because even the sea has to rest
and it's when it is calm that you'll enjoy

（4）Enrico Nigiotti, Gianna Nannini — Complici
Verse 1
Think
A bit like you think about it
Life has left us too much bruising
And the heart seems to have challenged boxers
After all, we've always been stupid
That's what made us free
That's what makes us look like
And even now still still, closed and fragile
Without doing anything
Believe me
A bit like you think, however, believe me
The time you forgot in this bed
At night he seems to strangle my neck
And I still can't breathe
Love I can't breathe
Thoughts that tell fears
Flavors that don't want to end
Chorus 1
Accomplices
Every time we run away it's to recover
How much desire that takes our breath away
Eat me and squeeze me
Beyond what will come
Verse 2
Words that seek words that find words
Who live to give but then remain words
That we can't say
Who can't explain
That everything is in charge
Everything is to be started again
That's what makes them useless
That's what makes us weak
Because I want you and I can only lose you
Another time and
Kiss me
A bit like you seem to kiss me though
Don't ask me to go because I stay
Needless to repeat a whim
I know too well how to get you
That if you get after a short time you cry
That if I try again then you squeeze me
You squeeze me
You squeeze me
Chorus 2
Accomplices
Every time we run away it's to recover
How much desire that takes our breath away
Eat me and squeeze me
Beyond what will come
Accomplices
We are small universes ready to merge
We are a game that burns us slowly
Eat me and squeeze me
Beyond what will come
Bridge
Accomplices
Without ever getting lost
Accomplices
Without ever getting lost
Accomplices
In thoughts that cannot hide
We are the new wind we are waiting for
Eat me and squeeze me
Na na na na naina
Na na na na naina

(5) Marco Mengoni — Ti ho volutes bene veramente (I've really loved you)
So I left for a long journey
Far away from the mistakes I've made
I've visited places not to see you again
And the further I went, the better I felt
And it was snowing heavily but I walked on
Sometimes I ignited a fire and thought of you cause of the cold
Daydreaming on a ferry's deck
I thought I was seeing your reflection in the sea
The lights in the harbour seemed distant
And I was feeling happy to make landfall
And my face was changing, my beard was getting longer
I spent entire days not saying a word
And how I wanted you there in those moments
Cause I really love you1
And there's no place where you don't come to my mind
I really wanted to have you
And not having to hear that I can't help it
I'd have found many more answers if I'd asked you
But it doesn't matter
I can't do it now that you're so far away
I'd feel like telling you that the journey changes a man
And the starting point seems so far away by now
Destination isn't a place, it's what we feel
And we don't know where nor when we get there
I spent entire days not saying a word
I thought you were really far away
Oh if we knew, before we leave,
That the journey's meaning is the destination, the enticement
Cause I really love you
And there's no place where you don't come to my mind
I really wanted to have you
And not having to hear that I can't help it
I'd have found many more answers if I'd asked you
But it doesn't matter
I can't do it now that you're so far away

(6) Tiziano Ferro — In Mezzo A Questo Inverno ( in the middle of winter)
Today everyone in the world talks about you
and people smile like at a party.
Today you're the only talk inside my head.
I minimise as long as you don't hear me
always in second place, the first of the losers.
I lost ideas, fantasies, self-control
and even your last 'Bah'.
There was you, there was you, there was you
in the middle of this winter
telling me 'Better a minute of happiness
than being sad forever".
But now, by chance or misfortune,
I'm really scared at the moment.
You've always been stronger.
I wonder how could I be it a bit more.
Life goes on, cheers to those who fight.
I'm leaving now, once and for all.
You only live for me for just a day, today
because I'm not coming back.
You said, 'When you're older the same problem
will seem very ridiculous'.
But the day in which you flew away
is precisely how I imagined it when I was young.
There was you, there was you, there was you
in the middle of this winter
telling me 'Better a minute of happiness
than being sad forever".
But now, by chance or misfortune,
I'm really scared at the moment.
You've always been stronger.
I wonder how could I be it a bit more.
I want that happiness back
and to laugh loudly out of the blue.
And I don't want this freedom
and may thy will not be done.
There was you, there was you, there was you
in the middle of this winter
telling me 'Better a minute of peace
than eternal war".
But now, by chance or misfortune,
I'm really scared at the moment.
You've always been stronger.
I'll probably have to be it a bit more.

(7) Ultimo — Tutto Questo Sei Tu (You are all this)
Now I need a dream
On this street that I remember
Now it's dark and it's empty around
And eventually you know I don't sleep.
But I'm afraid that
We may lose each other.
This living
Can turn us against each other.
I need an answer.
The sun is coming out in the storm
Don't lock yourself in a room
And find out your certainty
But I'm afraid that
We may lose each other.
This living
Can turn us against each other.
I need to love you
But not the way you want it
Complete your gestures,
And turn off the TV for you.
This sense of nothing
Passes if you're here.
What it is worth to have you in there
Is like the immensity
It's the same and different
You are all this
How time flies
See now I remember it
I would give you the cold (because) you like it
If only I had the winter in my pocket.
But I'm afraid that
We may lose each other.
This living
Can turn us against each other.
I need to love you
But not the way you want it
Complete your gestures
And turn off the TV for you.
This sense of nothing
Passes if you're here.
What it is worth to have you in there
Is like the immensity
It's the same and different
You are all this
The rain and the stars falling down
You are all this
The calm sea in your blue eyes
I need to love you
But not the way you want it
Complete your gestures
And turn off the TV for you.
This sense of nothing
Passes if you're here.
What it is worth to have you in there
Is like the immensity
It's the same and different
You are all this

（8）Tommaso Paradiso - Non Avere Paura（don’t be afraid)
When you look at me like that
When you touch me like that when
You move your mouth closer to my ear
It won't end well, but I beg you no
Don't stop, don't ever stop
The night is gasoline
The night chains up
The night is that face in the mirror
And now falls down
Even a tear
Meanwhile I am laughing
I hear a melody every time
That I am next to you when I lose you
And then I think about it as if it were the end of the world
No, don't be afraid
When you go to sleep alone
When the room looks empty
And when you feel the heart in your throat
Don't be afraid
I will take care of you
When I embrace you like that
When I hold you like that when
You lean your head on my chest
No photo no no
No nothing no no
There is only us
There is only us
I hear a melody every time
That I am next to you when I lose you
And then I think about it as if it were the end of the world
No, don't be afraid
When you go to sleep alone
When the room looks empty
And when you feel the heart in your throat
Don't be afraid
I will take care of you
No don't be afraid
When it suddenly gets dark
And the moon has not been switched on
And you would like a promise
But you have only a lipstick
I will take care of you
No don't be afraid
When it suddenly gets dark
And the moon has not been switched on
And you would like a promise
But you have only a lipstick
I will take care of you
No don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
When you go to sleep alone
Don't be afraid
You would like a promise
You would like a promise
Don't be afraid
I will take care of you

(9) Enrico Nigiotti — Nonno Hollywood（Grandpa Hollywood）
Certain things hurt
You can hold them back at all
There's no way to change
What doesn't go well for you
They say that with time everything passes,
But when is it that it passes?
Because it doesn't pass me
And right now I remember
Every time that you laughed
Every time that you stopped along the street and argued
With the people at the intersections
Who honked at you
Grandpa, you've left me in a world of piles
Shopping centers in place of courtyards
A generation with new discourses
They speak English more than our dialects
I miss your whistles while you're peeing
I miss the Livorno that you can tell stories of
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep,
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep,
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
And I don't know
How beautiful is the countryside, and how beautiful it is to drink wine
How many women have we seen, lowering the car window
The richness is in the simple...simple...
In the simple smile in a day that's not worth anything
It seems a bit like the second time
Of a finale to forget
Like a taxi at the station that you can't reserve
We're hostages of a net that doesn't catch fish...
But catches us
Grandpa, I always dream before sleeping
I search to find a way to understand
We run among the smiles of the straightened collars
But if we fall to the ground, then they're our fucks (to give)
Life is now a bridge that can collapse on us
Life is a new idol to get rid of
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep,
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep
I don't know
And then
I hold on tight to your advice
Because you know that it's never easy here
For those who face the other way, still
And then
For every time that I'll want to hear you
I'll close my eyes on this reality
Grandpa, you've left me in a world of piles
A generation that I don't know how to listen to
But deep down we're stories with a thousand details
Weak and beautiufl among our errors
I miss your whistles while you're peeing
I miss the Livorno that you can tell stories of
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep,
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep,
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
Tonight I close my eyes, but I won't sleep,
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
And I don't know
