ROSI
Cornamusa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in the pouring rain alone
And I long to be with Rosi
Off the hook her phone
and I'm shiv'ring to the bone
Wond'ring why I'm suddenly
Useless like an exhaust on a glider
Rosi, walkin' in the rain
What a silly game,
open up your window
Rosi, I begin to freeze
Beggin' on my knees -
please let me in
Ah jea I know it's true -
I did too much boog-a-loo
Now and then I just can't help it
But I'll change my ways
and I promise here today
I will always stand by you
‘Cause, if love would be sand,
I'd be a desert -
Rosalie, don't you doubt it anymore
Rosi, walkin' in the rain
What a silly game,
open up your window
Rosi, I begin to freeze
Beggin' on my knees -
please let me in.

Bellissimo documentario. Che meravigliosi strumenti, meno male che ci sono ancora esperti che ne coltivano l'arte.

Perhaps it is all too obvious that the Italian bagpipe is the superior instrument musically.

Il "non a caso" è stato utilizzato scorrettamente, perché sembra contraddirsi, quasi fosse la zampogna a poter eseguire meno note della cornamusa in questione, quando invece è l'opposto.
Interessantissimo

Questo video è de vero bellisimo, mi è piaciuta di più l'ultima canzione suonata con le cornemuse italiane , Io sono di Cile e ho una cornamusa galiziana mi piacerebbe molto imparare a suonare la italiana ma non è possibbile comprarle qui a Santiago, dove posso ottenere una? ovviamente dovrei viaggiare alla Italia ma vorrei sapere essatamente dove dovrei andare, complimenti e grazie mille.

Prova a contattare gli artigiani che le costruiscono a Scapoli in provincia di Isernia, questa estate ho visto che le vendevano, chissà te la possono spedire
