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
[...]
