questa sera ho un umore splendido senza alcun motivo, avevo in testa una canzone da tutto il pomeriggio, me la canticchiavo inventandomi le parole, allora sono andato a cercarla, che mi son guardato anche il testo, ho scoperto che è bellissimo. per chi conosce le faccende tra kafka e milena, e per chi non le conosce, la cultura è a portata di tutti sui motori di ricerca, andate a cercare. comunque, sono raccolte in un libro, le lettere a milena. per darvi un’idea, lui le scriveva delle cose come “se vieni da me, salti nell’abisso”.
e niente, la canzone ve la metto qui.
tonight I got a great mood for no reason, I had a song in my head for all the afternoon, I was singing it but not knowing the words, then I went to look for it. I looked for the lyrics, I discovered that it is beautiful. for those who know the facts between kafka and milena, and for those who don’t know about them, culture is within everyone’s reach on search engines, go and look for it. however, they are collected in a book, letters to milena. to give you an idea, he used to write her things like “if you come to me, you’ll jump into the abyss”.
and so, I just want to leave this song here.
Our Love, Rhett Miller
Richard Wagner’s letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
He should have quit before he had written the address
They made love on the mezzanine, her husband was his friend
Vienna in a fugue-state working on a thing
That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing
He still found time to write to her his heart-exploding words
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love’s all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love our love
Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive
But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive
Their rendezvous was singular, her husband was his friend
She is a living fire she is a reason to live
She is killing me burning only for him
I’ll spend my whole life loving her my heart exploding words
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love’s all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love our love our love our love
