Negrita – In ogni atomo


Negrita

The band’s name comes from Rolling Stone’s song “Hey Negrita!”. It actually means little black girl in spanish. They did their best between 1997 and 2001, turning a bit too much to mainstream afterwards. But they are still a good band, really exceptional in live performances.

In ogni atomo was a hit single from their 1999 album Reset, published on the wave of the successful soundtrack they composed for the breakthrough movie by a popular comedian trio (Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo).

“In ogni atomo”

Hai le carte e passi
giocati i tuoi assi
punta pure cio’ che hai
pensi troppo a cosa fai
perche’ a quelli come noi
serve spazio ed aria sai
troppo poco quel che see’e’
troppo poco anche per te

Sei uguale a me
altro che no
sei come me
in ogni atomo

Maledetti fragili
che si fanno scrupoli
che si sciupano da se
siamo vuoti a perdere
Ma stavolta e’ colpa tua
prendi al volo e metti via
che di donne come te
lascia stare non ce ne’e’

Sei uguale a me
altro che no
sei come me
in ogni atomo

Sei uguale a me
altro che no
sei come me
in ogni atomo

Hai le carte e passi
giocati i tuoi assi
in due il rischio e’ minimo
siamo in condominio
Che chi mangia polvere
lascia i denti mordere
perche’ quelli come noi
non li schiacceranno mai
e se ti abbandonerai
io ti curero’
Medicine come noi
non le inventeranno mai
siamo soci
I’ll give you all my love

Sei uguale a me
altro che no
sei come me
in ogni atomo

“In every atom”

You got the cards and call.
Play your aces.
Let’s bet what you have
You think too much about what you do
because those like us
need space and air, you know.
Too little what’s there
too little for you too.

You are same as me
for real.
You are like me
in every atom.

Damned fragiles
that have qualms,
that spoil themselves.
We are one-way bottles
But this time it’s your fault
take it and put it away
that women like you,
forget it, there aren’t many.

You are same as me
for real.
You are like me
in every atom.

You are same as me
for real.
You are like me
in every atom.

You got the cards and call.
Play your aces.
When we are two the risk is minimum,
we are in condominium.
Because who eats the dust
leaves the teeth bite.
Because those like us,
will never be smashes.
and if you abandon yourself..
i’ll heal you.
Medicines like us,
they’ll never invent.
We are partners
I’ll give you all my love

You are same as me
for real.
You are like me
in every atom.

Negrita – Magnolia


Negrita

The band’s name comes from Rolling Stone’s song “Hey Negrita!”. It actually means little black girl in spanish. They did their best between 1997 and 2001, turning a bit too much to mainstream afterwards. But they are still a good band, really exceptional in live performances.

Magnolia has been one of their biggest commercial successes in Italy, but was never included in an album, except for a hits compilation in 2003.

“Magnolia”

Lentamente scivola
la tua mano su di te
quel tanto che basta per trasformare
ogni carezza in un gemito
ti guardo accaldata contorcerti
tra le lenzuola umide
golosa ed implacabile
forza fammi male finchè vuoi
lo sai…

Pioggia io sarò per toglierti la sete
e sole salirò per asciugarti bene
vento arriverò per poterti accarezzare
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
tra fango e neve, fango e neve impazzirò!

Ti ammiro per come ti approcci
a questi anni mutevoli
mi piace quel tuo senso pratico
la tua forza e l’ironia
i cieli neri intorno a noi
sono soltanto nuvole
che dolcemente soffi via
e niente può far male più, lo sai…
lo sai…

Pioggia io sarò per toglierti la sete…
e sole salirò per asciugarti bene…
vento arriverò per poterti accarezzare…
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
tra fango e neve, fango e neve impazzirò!
impazzirò

Finché pioggia diverrò per toglierti la sete…
e sole io sarò per asciugarti bene
vento arriverò per poterti accarezzare
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
tra fango e neve, fango e neve impazzirò!
impazzirò! e pioggia io sarò
per toglierti la sete, per asciugarti bene, per
poterti accarezzare
ma se vuoi, se tu vuoi
fino alla fine, fino alla fine del mondo

Vieni con me, vieni con me, vieni con me
ad insegnarmi a camminare, ad insegnarmi a respirare…
con le mani, con le mani, con le mani
con le tue mani potrei morire, sulle tue mani potrei…

“Magnolia”

Slowly slips
your hand on you
just enough to transform
every caress in a moan.
I watch you, flushed, writhe
in soaked bed sheets
greedy and relentless
Come on, harm me as long as you want
you know…

Rain i will be, to wrench your thirst
and sun i’ll grow up, to dry you well
wind i’ll come, to caress you
but if you want, if you want
between mud and snow, mud and snow, i’ll go crazy!

I admire you, for how you approach
these changing years
i like your gumption
your force and the irony
the black skies around us
are only clouds
that you sweetly blow away
and nothing can hurt anymore, you know…
you know…

Rain i will be, to wrench your thirst
and sun i’ll grow up, to dry you well
wind i’ll come, to be able to caress you
but if you want, if you want
between mud and snow, mud and snow, i’ll go crazy!
I’ll go crazy

Until i’ll become rain to wrench your thirst
and sun i’ll be to dry you well
wind i’ll come, to be able to caress you
but if you want, if you want
between mud and snow, mud and snow, i’ll go crazy!
I’ll go crazy! And rain i’ll be
to wrench your thirst, to dry you well, to be able to caress you
but if you want, if you want
until the end, until the end of the world.

Come with me, come with me, come with me
to teach me to walk, to teach me to breathe…
with the hand, with the hands, with the hands
with your hands i could die, on your hands i could…
