Something completely unrelated, but it was pretty much the first time when I subconsciously decided to click on other people's profiles and I was blown away to find out many people that I've thought were much older than me, are actually younger or the same age as me and all in all, our forum is mostly populated by youngsters :d

 

True, I don't think there are many members older than 30.

Is it possible for me to represent :NZL Australia too? If not, then i would like to switch nationality and represent Australia instead of Germany.

Roberto Vecchioni (featuring Angelo Branduardi) - SAMARCANDA (Samarkand)

 

 

Lyrics (English translation)

Spoiler

 

Laughing, laughing and laughing once again,

war isn't scary anymore.

At night, uniforms burn in bonfires

and plenty of wine burns the throats,

sounds of tambourines until dawn,

a soldier who had been dancing all night long,

saw that lady in black in the crowd,

he saw she was looking for him and got frightened.


"Save me, save me, your Highness,

help me escape from here.

She was standing next to me during the parade

and she was giving me the evil eye".

"Give him, give him an animal

bred from lightning, worth of a king,

faster, faster, so that he can escape

give him the fastest steed".


"Gallop, horse, gallop, I beg you

I will guide you to Samarkand,

don't stop, fly, I beg you

run like the wind and I will be safe...

Oh oh horse, oh oh horse, oh oh horse,

oh oh horse, oh oh..."


Rivers, then fields and the dawn was purple

white were the towers he finally reached,

but that lady in black was in the crowd,

and he was tired of fleeing and bowed his head.

"You were there in the crowd in the capital

I know you were giving me the evil eye

I ran away among crickets and cicadas

I ran away and I meet you again here!"


"You are wrong, you are mistaken, you are wrong, soldier,

I wasn't giving you the evil eye

It was just an astonished gaze,

what were you doing there the day before yesterday?

I expected you to be here in Samarkand today,

you were so far away two days ago,

I feared you'd stay and listen to the band,

and you'd never arrive here on time."


"Samarkand is not so far away,

gallop, horse, gallop in that direction...

I have been singing with you all night long

run like the wind that will get there.

Oh oh horse, oh oh horse, oh oh horse,

oh oh horse, oh oh..."
