I should have listened to the english version first. My Italian is pretty rusty.
Like Patton's Mondo Cane, for example, I don't always need a translation to super dig what's being done. Sometime's I dread a translation, because I've drawn a conclusion to what the song is about by tone and presentation, and often I'm dead wrong. Allow me to go off topic to illustrate:

I dug this tune forever before bothering to look up a translation. Man did I get it wrong !

"The rosebush is dying
No longer green the flowers
Also my life is running out
For lack of their love

When you gave me The first date
At the foot of that cute rose
I cut three flowers for the virgin
Then you gave me a little kiss

You swore to love me in front of a virgin
And you left the flowers
Tis oaths do not comply
I offered you my love
Also the flowers

What you did put
Todita stamped out
Oaths do not fulfill them
And your soul will be condemned"

I wouldn't have guessed that either.

I like how they are all dressed up except the one guy in shorts and a wife beater.

When you're a legend, you can wear what you want. :lol:

Ahhh, I'm somewhat surprised you didn't recognize multi grammy award winner Little Joe. I'm guessing it's the shades. 8-)



THis is pretty good....until Willie jumps in. :cuss:

Looks like Willie is rubbing off on him. What with that beard and all.
