OT:

I was struck this evening particularly by the refrain of a song by Andrea Bocelli, just a moment of absolute beauty, almost an epiphany. In any event, the refrain to "Canto Della Terra" [Canto of the World] goes:

Guarda questa terra che
Che gira insieme a noi
Anche quando e buio
Guarda questa terra che
Che gira anche per noi
a darci un po' di sole, sole, sole.

[Regard this earth which--
Which carries us turning
Even when it's dark
Regard this earth which--
Which also turns for us,
To give us the sun, the sun, the sun.]

The words alone don't do the song justice, of course, and the translation (I adjusted some lines from the CD brochure, which was not a very good translation, frankly) fails to carry what the Italian does; and certainly it's missing plenty without Bocelli's incredible interpretation.

Just passing the time on a Sunday evening out west.
