Well I won't back down

No I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

 

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin me down

gonna stand my ground

... and I won't back down

 

Chorus:

(I won't back down...)

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

(and I won't back down...)

hey I will stand my ground

and I won't back down

 

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

in a world that keeps on pushin me around

but I'll stand my ground

...and I won't back down

 

(I won't back down...)

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

(and I won't back down...)

hey I will stand my ground

(I won't back down)

and I won't back down...

 

(I won't back down...)

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

(I won't back down)

hey I won't back down

(and I won't back down)

hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

(and I won't back down)

hey I will stand my ground

(and I won't back down)

and I won't back down

(I won't back down)

No I won't back down...

VA PENSIERO

ZUCCHERO SUGAR FORNACIARI

COMPOSITORI: GIUSEPPI VERDI & MINO VERGNAGHI

PAESE: ITALIA

ALBUM: ONE WORLD TOGETHER AT HOME

ETICHETTA: POLYDOR

GENERE: BLUES

ANNO: 1997

 

    Sul canale YouTube della Global Citizien, organizzatrice dell'evento One World Together At Home, sono stati aggiunti alcuni nuovi video con esibizioni che non erano entrati a far parte della diretta streaming dello scorso 19 aprile.

       Tra i nuovi contributi filmati, compare anche la bella versione di "Va pensiero" cantata da Zucchero e che il bluesman emiliano ha condiviso anche sui suoi canali social.

         Non si tratta ovviamente di una novità assoluta, visto che Zucchero aveva già inciso una versione bilingue italiano-inglese, con il testo modificato in più parti nel 1997 per l'album The Best of Zucchero Sugar Fornaciari's Greatest Hits.

       La nuova versione è acustica ed eseguita con l'accompagnamento solo della chitarra.

Il cantautore emiliano aveva contribuito alla diretta dell’evento, con la cover di Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime dei Korgis.

         Adelmo Fornaciari Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [aˈdɛlmo fornaˈtʃaːri]; born 25 September 1955), more commonly known by his stage name Zucchero Fornaciari or simply Zucchero (pronounced [ˈdzukkero, ˈtsuk-]), is an Italian singer-songwriter and musician. His stage name is the Italian word for "sugar", as his elementary teacher used to call him. His music is largely inspired by gospel, soul, blues and rock music, and alternates between Italian ballads and more rhythmic R&B-boogie-like pieces. He is credited as the "father of Italian blues", introducing blues to the big stage in Italy. He is one of the few European blues artists who still enjoys great international success.

          In his career, spanning more than three decades, Fornaciari has sold over 60 million records around the world, and internationally his most successful singles are "Diamante", "Il Volo/My Love", "Baila (Sexy Thing)/Baila morena", and the duet "Senza una donna (Without a Woman)" with Paul Young. He has won numerous awards, including four Festivalbar, nine Wind Music Awards, two World Music Awards (1993, 1996), six IFPI Europe Platinum Awards, and a Grammy Award nomination. He has collaborated and performed with many famous artists, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian May, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, B. B. King, Sting, Bono, Dolores O'Riordan, Paul Young, Peter Gabriel, Luciano Pavarotti, and Andrea Bocelli.

        The discography of Zucchero, an Italian rock blues singer-songwriter, consists of 14 studio albums, one soundtrack album, seven compilation albums, two live albums and more than sixty singles. In 1993, Zucchero has also released a studio album with the band Adelmo e i suoi Sorapis, also including Equipe 84's Maurizio Vandelli and Pooh's Dodi Battaglia.

           Zucchero's first two studio albums didn't reach commercial success and failed to chart in Italy, while 1986's Rispetto entered the Top 10 in his home country, where it sold more than 300,000 copies. Its follow-up, titled Blue's, became the best-selling album in Italy of 1987, while 1989's Oro Incenso & Birra was certified eight-times platinum in Italy. For the latter as of 2015 are reported sales of over 8 million copies worldwide.

     In 1991, Zucchero released his self-titled compilation, featuring the English-language version of some of his biggest hits, including the single "Senza una donna (Without a Woman)", a duet with Paul Young which charted in the Top 5 in the United Kingdom and United States and topped the European Hot 100. The álbum Spirito DiVino, released in 1995, has sold more than 2,500,000 copies worldwide and was certified Platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for European sales exceeding 1,000,000 units. The following studio albums were also million selling.

       As of 2017, Zucchero has released 10 Italian number-one studio albums, including his last effort Black Cat, and 4 Italian number-one compilation albums, including 1996's The Best of Zucchero Sugar Fornaciari's Greatest Hits, which was certified triple platinum in Europe, and 2004's Zu & Co., which was also certified platinum in Europe.

       Zucchero has sold over 60 million records around the world.

 

Va pensiero sull'ali dorate

Cross the mountains and fly over the oceans

Reach the land find the place where all children grow

 

Every night after listening to this lullaby

There you find the heroes alive protecting the innocents

Bless them all, 'cause their simple song is so pure and wonderful

 

Va', pensiero, sull'ali dorate

L'aure dolci del suolo natal!

Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati

Perché muta dal salice pendi?

 

Lead them back to the light back to the light

Where they once used to belong

Where they carry me children as long as they want

 

Va pensiero sull'ali dorate

Va', ti posa sui clivi, sui coll

 

Reach the land find the place where all children grow

Every night after listening to this lullaby

Every night after listening to this lullaby.

I write you letters but I don't send them

I just can't figure out how to end them

I try to reach you you're right beside me

There's something missing and we can't deny that

 

We live together separately

We don't wanna fall apart

But every time we kiss

There's an emptiness

An absence of the heart

 

How did we lose it? Why did this happen?

When did we take it all for granted?

We sit in silence inside we're crying

How can we keep our love from dying?

 

We live together separately

We don't wanna fall apart

But every time we kiss

There's an emptiness

An absence of the heart

 

We live together separately

We don't wanna fall apart

But every time we kiss

There's an emptiness

An absence of the heart

 

We live together separately

We don't wanna fall apart

But every time we kiss

There's an emptiness

An absence of the heart

I write you letters but I don't send them.
