喜歡咖啡和音樂…
在時間裏加點糖…
圖一，家附近的一個國家公園，寧靜中隻有湖水和微風帶來的聲音。
很多人喜歡意大利咖啡，特拉米蘇，和有關那裏的一切。意大利歌劇享譽世界，其流行歌曲也非常了得！且看這些不同時期的MV，《綿延的愛情故事》，《卡羅索》，《你好，生活》等等十首，喜歡足球的球迷，一定知道歌手Gianna Nannini。 歌詞英文翻譯來自網絡，見附錄，YouTube 視頻也拍得相當不錯。也許您對這些歌曲已經耳熟能詳，都是講述“愛”的。
“愛”不是幾首歌或者幾篇文章能夠說的清，弗洛姆的《愛的藝術》算一本權威專著，有人稱它為“廣義成熟的愛”。意味著，還未成熟之前，愛的旅程已先行一步了，這就是為什麽類似的歌曲如此多的原因之一吧。最近，在微信群裏朋友圈看到複旦的一位教授開設“愛情”課程的視頻自我介紹，South China Morning Post （Alice Yan, 2021/09/08）還專門報道了這事。教授的初衷不錯，不過，最終有可能說不明，道不清，人生的體驗可教否？心生好奇。
愛是廣義的。其中一首Nonno Hollywood，是關於爺爺的歌。疫情前，很幸運，回家鄉看望父母，期間，問過父親，爺爺是誰？因為在自己記憶裏，沒有一點痕跡，父親隻說，你們一家已經寫進家譜中了，然後，他從書架上拿出來一本類似縣誌的書，指著其中一頁上一個名字說，“你爺爺叫…”，第一次知道爺爺叫什麽名字，書上的隻言片語也沒有回答自己的疑問，感覺父親欲言又止，隻提到家鄉的小學想恢複過去的校歌，同時翻到另外一頁，指著說: “這個校歌是你大伯公寫的，曲譜已經失傳，學校聯係上我，憑記憶恢複了曲譜。” 這也許是父親要給我看的重點，看著父親欣慰的樣子，乘機問，爺爺長什麽樣，父親說，“個頭高大，平時很嚴肅…。” 我從父親身上，看見爺爺的樣子。
愛是一種平衡，失去平衡的愛是殘缺的。平衡點在哪裏？夠人去捉摸陣子，且可接受的平衡方法也千差萬別，其中，不乏一種可能，心裏渴望遇到合適的人，結果“把自己變成了合適的人”。當然，也不缺乏一開始就遇到了合適的人，實屬幸運。
“如果愛一個人，就愛其所愛”，這句話印象深刻，記不出自哪本讀過的書，也算是一種尋找或者達到平衡的方法之一。於是，懂得了，經曆了，下麵這些意大利歌曲也就沒有白唱了 。

（0）《鹽的味道》（Sapore di sale - taste of salt, 1963 ），Gino Paoli新推出了Jazz 版本(2018)，老歌新唱，懷舊味道十足。Jazz風格，歲月悠悠，不枉此生否。
…
鹽的味道，海的味道
失去的、遠離的
有些苦澀
往事如風
時光悠悠
留下鹹的記憶

（1）Gino Paoli — Una lunga storia d’amore - (a long love story） (視頻搬不過來，隻有點擊下麵鏈接欣賞，精美之作）
被製作精美MV所吸引，黑白顏色讓織構紋理變得清晰，如清晰的記憶一樣，五線譜似的皺紋留在Gino Paoli的臉上。點擊下麵YouTube視頻截圖也可以打開音樂MV……
（2）Lucio Dalla—Caruso
Lucio Dalla為意大利男高音歌唱家Enrico Caruso（1873-2 ～ 1921-8） 創作了名曲《卡羅索》(Caruso,1986)。如果一個著名男歌手沒有唱過這首歌，難以想象。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（見下麵YouTube視頻）等。盧喬·達拉(Lucio Dalla)被讚譽為最具影響力、且賦有創意的意大利音樂人之一，他曾經在一次采訪中談起這首歌背後的故事，他的MV再現了采訪內容（這裏沒有用這個YouTubeMV），視頻裏的，旅店房子裏的鋼琴上就放著Caruso的照片，其中穿插一些紀錄片片段，故事裏的故事一定有些淒涼，不論是男歌手還是女歌手演繹這首歌，還是單純的音樂（如Chris Botti 的小號，豪哥Hauser的大提琴），都有一種無法抗拒的魅力，“如歌如泣”不過如此。

（0）Gino Paoli—Sapore di sal（試英譯中）
Taste of salt, taste of sea
鹽的味道，海的味道
that you have on your skin, that you have on your lips
你肌膚的味道，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，躺在沙灘上
靠近我，靠近我
Taste of salt, taste of sea
鹽的味道，海的味道
a taste a bit bitter of lost things
失去的、遠離的
of things left far away from us
有些苦澀
where the world is different, different from here.
往事如風
The time is in the days that pass lazily
時光悠悠
and leave in the mouth the taste of the salt
留下鹹的記憶
you jump in the water and you leave me to watch you
你擁抱大海，我在遠方凝視著你
and I stay alone in the sand and the sun.
陽光沙灘上留下孤影
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，柔軟的沙灘我的懷抱
親吻你，
鹽的味道、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
