PINK FLOYD WISH YOU WERE HERE

Per le terze classi

WISH YOU WERE HERE
PINK FLOYD

So, so you think you can tell

heaven from hell?

Blue skies from pain?

Can you tell a green field

from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade 

your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war

for a lead role in cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year,

running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

WISH YOU WERE HERE
TRADUZIONE DI ALEXIA

Così, così pensi di poter distinguere

il paradiso dall'inferno?

Cieli blu dal dolore?

Puoi distinguere un campo verde

da un freddo binario d'acciaio?

Un sorriso da un velo?

Pensi di essere capace di distinguerli?

E ti hanno portato a barattare

i tuoi eroi con dei fantasmi?

Ceneri roventi per degli alberi?

Aria bollente con una fresca brezza?

Una magra consolazione per il cambiamento? 

E hai scambiato una parte da comparsa in guerra

con un ruolo di comando in gabbia?

Come vorrei, come vorrei che tu fossi qui.

Siamo solo due anime perse

che nuotano in una boccia per i pesci.

Anno dopo anno,

correndo sempre sul solito terreno,

cosa abbiamo trovato?

Le stesse vecchie paure.

Vorrei che tu fossi qui

PINK FLOYD

PER LE CLASSI TERZE

Pink Floyd were an English rock band. 

Founded in 1965, the band originally consisted of students Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. They first gained popularity performing in London's underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett's creative leadership they released two charting singles and a successful debut album. David Gilmour joined as a fifth member in December 1967, and Barrett left the band in April 1968 due to his deteriorating mental health.

After Barrett's departure, Waters became their primary songwriter and lyricist. Pink Floyd achieved critical and commercial success with the concept albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983).

The Wall is a concept album and deals largely with themes of abandonment and personal isolation.

 The album is a rock opera that centres on Pink, a character Waters modelled after himself, with some aspects based on the band's original leader, Syd Barrett. Pink's life experiences begin with the loss of his father during the Second World War, and continue with ridicule and abuse from his schoolteachers, an overprotective mother and finally, the breakdown of his marriage. All contribute to his eventual self-imposed isolation from society, represented by a metaphorical wall.

Non abbiamo bisogno dell’istruzione

Non abbiamo bisogno di controllo mentale

Nessun cupo sarcasmo in classe

Maestri lasciate in pace i bambini

Hei! Maestri! Lasciate in pace i bambini!

Dopo tutto è solo un altro mattone nel muro.

Dopo tutto sei solo un altro mattone nel muro.

Non abbiamo bisogno dell’istruzione

Non abbiamo bisogno di controllo mentale

Nessun cupo sarcasmo in classe

Maestri lasciate in pace i bambini

Hei! Maestri! Lasciate in pace i bambini!

Dopo tutto è solo un altro mattone nel muro.

Dopo tutto sei solo un altro mattone nel muro.
