Sarah Brightman -- Guardami
(With one look - Italian version) Guardami No andare via Guardami Non vorrai di più
Non lasciar che così sia Con un si vedrai Quello che vorrai
Guardami Sono solo io Quella che Ti porterà via
La mia anima è con te Non saprai di più
Mai più vedrai La scena che faro E non fingero Di saper di più
Tu sai che io È lì che finirò Mentre guardo te Di dirò cosa è
Guardami Già non parlo più Sento ormai Che t'arrenderai
Piano piano tra di noi È la musica che ti fa sognar
Guardami Non ne posso più Questa si è la vita mia
E nell'ombra Troverai Tutto quel che vuoi
Una dolce melodia Che qualcuno a vrà Cantato giù
Guardami Una fiamma ormai Come me non ci saranno mai Sono ancora qui tra voi
Sento che adesso Io rimarrò qui Solo adesso Sento che con te Sono io Guarda
Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics: Don Black and Christopher Hampton, with Amy Powers. Italian lyrics: Marco Sabiu and Graziano Mallozzi. Show: "Sunset Boulevard" (1993). This is the Italian translation of "With one look" from "Sunset Boulevard". This song was originally written for the role of Norma Desmond, the aging and reclusive star of the silent screen, and therefore was composed for a far different voice from Sarah's. But an early sketch of the melody reminded me that I had an idea to use it in a version of "The Little Mermaid" and of its potential for soprano. This project was never persued. Somehow the words didn't fit well at all in a high key in English, a problem I have had with "Memory". One sing-through with an Italian translation solved the problem. [from the CD-booklet] From: Surrender, The unexpected songs (1995). Source of the lyrics: Melissa Hofmann (hofmannm@tcnj.edu), who also sent me a literal translation in English made by Dr. Paola Blelloch, Professor in the Modern Languages Department at The College of New Jersey; this translation is not complete yet near the end (the professor couldn't make much sense of it): Look at me Look at me Don't go away Look at me You will not want more
Do not allow this With a yes you will see What you will want
Look at me It's only I Who will Take you away
My soul is with you You will not know more
Never again you'll see The scene I will do And I will not pretend To know more
You know that I Will end there While I look at you And will say what it is
Look at me Already I am no longer speaking I feel now That you will give in
Slowly, slowly between us There is the music that makes you dream
Look at me I cannot resist any longer This is really my life
And in the shadow You will find Everything you want
A sweet melody That somebody will have Already sung.
Look at me [...] I am still here
I feel I will Stay here Alone with you [...] Look
