song list next song Sting: Letter L Sting: The Living Sea Sting: Acoustic Live In Newcastle Sting: Soul Cages Mad About You
(Sting)
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And through a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you    I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you    I'm mad about you

And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer?    How much longer?

They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you    I'm mad about you

And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no vitories
In all our histories, without love

A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And through a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you    I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust,
My enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you    I'm mad about you

(Little Wing sung in Spanish)
(words & music Jimi Hendrix)
Yo la veo caminar
Por las nubes ya
Dondre andara
Mariposa libre que suena
Que quiere ser
Y no piensa en nada mas
Solo en vivir

Si estoy triste viene a mi
Mil sonrisas trae
Las da porque si
Y me dice esta, bien, todo bien
Estoy aqui y soy de ti,
Soy de ti
song list next song previous song Sting: Bring On The Night Sting: Dream Of The Blue Turtles Moon Over Bourbon Street
(Sting)

This song was inspired by the Anne Rice's book: Interview With the Vampire
There's a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street

It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over bourbon street
song list next song previous song Moonlight
(John Williams/Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman)
(released on a single, October 1996)
In the moonlight
When the shadows play
When the thought of what could happen
Takes your breath away
Sighs and whispers
Quiet laughter in the air
Unspoken invitations everywhere

In the moonlight
All the words you say
Make it relatively easy
To be swept away
In the half-light
Can we trust the way we feel
Can we be sure that anything is real?

Stars keep secrets as they wander indiscretely
While the echoes of a song go drifting by
We must be careful not to lose our way completely
Or the magic that we seek here
We can't be sure will be here

In the morning
With the moon away
And if in each other's arms
Is where we're meant to stay

In the love light
When our eyes have grown accustomed to the daylight
We'll see what waits for us to share
For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight
Will be there
song list Sting: Letter N previous song Sting: The Living Sea Sting: Acoustic Live In Newcastle Sting: Soul Cages Muoio Per Te
(words & music Sting/translation into Italian by Zucchero Fomaciari)
A un passo da Gerusalemme
E a un solo un miglio dalla luna
Sotto un cielo di milioni di stelle
Ho il cuore perso in un pianeta lontano
Che gira intorno e cade gui'
Con archi di tristezza,
Io muoio per te, muoio per te!
E se il mio regno diventa sabbia
E cade in fondo al mare:

Io muoio per te, (io) muoio per te!

E dalla fonde oscure valli
Canzoni antiche di tristezza
Mo ogni passo io pensavo a te
Ogni passo solo te
Per ogni stella un granello di sabbia
Gli avanzi di un asciutto mare
Dimmi, quanto tempo, quanto ancora!

C'e' una citta nel deserto e riposa
La vanita di un antico re
Ma la citta riposa in pezzi,
Dove il vento urla all'avvoltoio
Quello che ha fatto l'uomo
Con l'ambizione, e tutto questo
Faro prigione la mia vita
Se sei la sposa per un altro
Che i miei nemici siano liberi,
Io cado e sono qui,
Che muoio per te, muoio per te!

E solo come mai,
Cosi solo come ora mai!

Con tutti i miei domini
Cosa sono qui
Sono niente cosi
Non ci son vittorie
Nelle nostre storie, senza amor!

A un passo da Gerusalemme
E a un solo un miglio dalla luna
Sotto un cielo di milioni di stelle
Ho il cuore perso in un pianeta lontano
Che gira intorno e cade gui'
Con archi di tristezza,
Io muoio per te, muoio per te!

E anche se hai le chiavi
E distruggi quel che ho
Ogni prigione in polvere
Nemici piu non ho
(E) i regni miei di sabbia mare,
Io muoio per te, muoio per te!
