Albachiara (The Light Sunrise), sung by Vasco Rossi was played in the fifth episode of Musitaly: Night & Day.
This song is about a sort of platonic love felt by the singer. In Fact, this song is inspired by a thirteen-year-old girl, Giovanna, who lived in Vasco’s hometown in the late ’70s.
According to what the singer himself reported when Giovanna turned 18, Vasco told her that Albachiara was a dedication to her, and she got angry.
After this episode Vasco Rossi got inspiration for another song. In fact, then he wrote the song Una Canzone per Te, A Song for you.
Vasco Rossi – Albachiara [Original Version]
Respiri piano per non far rumore
ti addormenti di sera
ti risvegli con il sole
sei chiara come un’alba
sei fresca come l’aria.
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
e sei fantastica quando sei assorta
nei tuoi problemi
nei tuoi pensieri.
Ti vesti svogliatamentenon metti mai niente
che possa attirare attenzione
un particolare
solo per farti guardare.
Respiri piano per non far rumore
ti addormenti di sera
ti risvegli con il sole
sei chiara come un’alba
sei fresca come l’aria.
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
e sei fantastica quando sei assorta
nei tuoi problemi
nei tuoi pensieri.
Ti vesti svogliatamente
non metti mai niente
che possa attirare attenzione
un particolare
per farti guardare.
E con la faccia pulita
cammini per strada mangiando unamela coi libri di scuola
ti piace studiare
non te ne devi vergognare
E quando guardi con quegli occhi grandi
forse un po’ troppo sinceri, sinceri
si vede quello che pensi,
quello che sogni….
Qualche volta fai pensieri strani
con una mano, una mano, ti sfiori,
tu sola dentro la stanza
e tutto il mondo fuori.
Vasco Rossi – Albachiara [English Translation]
You breathe slowly so you won’t make noise
you fall asleep at night
you wake up with the sun
you’re so pure as the dawn
you’re as fresh as air.
You blush if someone looks at you
you’re fantastic when you’re all absorbed with your problems
with your thoughts
You’re negligent when you dress up
you never put on something that might get somenone’s attention
a detail, just to make yourself seen
And with your face clean you walk down the street eating an apple
with your school books
you like to study
you don’t have to be ashamed
And when you look with those big eyes
maybe too sincere,
it can be seen what you think
what you dream of
Sometimes you think strangely
with one hand you touch yourself
alone
inside the room
with all the world outside
