Va ti aspettero
[Go, I will wait for you]
Il fiore nel giardino segna il tempo
[The flowers in the garden mark the time]
Qui disegnero il giorno poi del tuo ritorno
[Here I will draw the day of your return]
Sei cosi sicura del mio amore
[You are so sure of my love]
Da portarlo via con te
[You take it away with you]
Chiuso nelle mani
[Cupped in your hands]
che ti porti al viso
[when you touch your face]
Ripensando ancora a me
[As you still think of me]
E se ti servira lo mostri al mondo
[And if you need to, you can show the world]
Che non sa che vita c’e
[The world that doesn't know what life there is]
Nel cuore che distratto sembra assente
[in an uncaring absent heart]
Non sa che vita c’e
[Doesn't know what life there is]
In quello che soltanto il cuore sente
[In that only the heart can feel]
Non sa.
[Doesn't know.]

Qui ti aspettero
[Here I will wait for you]
E rubero i baci al tempo
[And steal kisses from time]
Tempo che non basta a cancellare
[Time is not enough to erase]
Coi ricordi il desiderio che
[The memories and the desire that]
Resta chiuso nelle mani
[Remains closed in your hands]
che ti porti al viso
[That you bring to your face.]
Ripensando a me
[You still think of me]
E ti accompagnera passando le citta da me
[It will follow you and passing me in the city]
Da me che sono ancora qui
[I'll still be here]
E sogno cose che non so di te
[Dreaming of things that I don't know about you.]
Dove sara che strada fara il tuo ritorno
[Where is the road that you will take on your return]
Sogno
[I dream]

Qui ti aspettero
[Here I will wait for you]
E rubero i baci al tempo
[And steal kisses from time]
Sogno
[I dream]
Un rumore il vento che mi sveglia
[A noise, the wind awakens me]
E sei gia qua.
[And you're already here.]

Composer / Performer: Servillo, Giuseppe / Andrea Bocelli
First Released: 1999
Album: Sogno
Genre: Opera / Pop Opera
First heard in: Andrea Bocelli’s album. Don’t remember where I first heard Andrea Bocelli. all I know is, he rocks!
Why I Love It: It’s just…dreamy. Andrea Bocelli’s voice is just dreamy. Sorry about the video, you don’t really have to watch it, just listen.
Also Listen To: Let’s change things a bit. Don’t listen to “The Prayer.” Not that it’s a bad song, it’s just that there are other Andrea Bocelli songs, you know.

Wicked Girls Saving Ourselves
by Seanan McGuire
(2008)

Wendy played fair, and she played by the rules that they gave her;
They say she grew up and grew old -- Peter Pan couldn't save her.
They say she went home, and she never looked back,
Got her feet on the ground, got her life on its track.
She's the patron saint priestess of all the lost girls who got found.
And she once had her head in the clouds, but she died on the ground.

Dorothy just wanted something that she could believe in,
A gray dustbowl girl in a life she was better off leavin'.
She made her escape, went from gray into green,
And she could have got clear, and she could have got clean,
But she chose to be good and go back to the gray Kansas sky
Where color's a fable and freedom's a fairy tale lie.

Dorothy, Alice and Wendy and Jane,
Susan and Lucy, we're calling your names,
All the Lost Girls who came out of the rain
And chose to go back on the shelf.
Tinker Bell says, and I find I agree
You have to break rules if you want to break free.
So do as you like -- we're determined to be
Wicked girls saving ourselves.

Alice got lost, and I guess that we really can't blame her;
They say she got tangled and tied in the lies that became her.
They say she went mad, and she never complained,
For there's peace of a kind in a life unconstrained.
She gives Cheshire kisses, she's easy with white rabbit smiles,
And she'll never be free, but she's won herself safe for a while.

Susan and Lucy were queens, and they ruled well and proudly.
They honored their land and their lord, rang the bells long and loudly.
They never once asked to return to their lives
To be children and chattel and mothers and wives,
But the land cast them out in a lesson that only one learned;
And one queen said 'I am not a toy', and she never returned.

Mandy's a pirate, and Mia weaves silk shrouds for faeries,
And Deborah will pour you red wine pressed from sweet poisoned berries.
Kate poses riddles and Mary plays tricks,
While Kaia builds towers from brambles and sticks,
And the rules that we live by are simple and clear:
Be wicked and lovely and don't live in fear --

For we will be wicked and we will be fair
And they'll call us such names, and we really won't care,
So go, tell your Wendys, your Susans, your Janes,
There's a place they can go if they're tired of chains,
And our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost,
But we'll walk on them willingly, knowing the cost --
We won't take our place on the shelves.
It's better to fly and it's better to die
Say the wicked girls saving ourselves.
