The origin of love

Ancora nel 2011, avevo creato la pagina che porta il titolo La gioia di vivere, che costituisce una sorta di manifesto del blog. Come raccontavo in un post la settimana scorsa, una delle mie recenti (ri)scoperte musicali è stata Mika e, soprattutto, il suo ultimo album. Lungi dal voler fare pubblicità a un cantante che ci pensa benissimo da sé, posto qui sotto il video di una sua canzone che trovo possa dire molto sul tema della gioia, Origin Of Love. Ne approfitto per trascrivere anche il testo originale, che a mio parere è degno almeno di una lettura in allegria. Buon'ascolto!

Love is a drug and you are my cigarette

Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette

Love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes

I'm feeling sick, I've got to medicate myself

I want your love don't try and stop me

Can't get enough, still hanging on me

Your guilty heart, don't let it break you

And if you pray well no one's gonna save you

Like everyone that you fear and everything you hold dear

Even the book in your pocket

You are the sun and the light, you are the freedom I fight

God will do nothing to stop it

The origin is you

You're the origin of love

Love is a drug and you are my cigarette

Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette

Love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes

I'm feeling sick, I've got to medicate myself

Well if God is a priest and the devil a slut

Now that's a reason for loving

Like every word that you preach

Like every word that you teach

With every rule that you breach

You know the origin is you

From the air I breathe, to the love I need

Only thing I know, you're the origin of love

From the God above to the one I love

Only thing that's true, the origin is you

Padre nostrum, deus machismo

Padre deus, deus machismo

Dione madre, deus machismo

Deus esso sancto spirito

Like stupid Adam and Eve they found their love in a tree

God didn't think they deserved it

He taught them hate, taught them pride

Gave them a leaf, made them hide

Let's push their stories aside

You know the origin is you

From the air I breathe to the love I need

Only thing I know, you're the origin of love

From the God above to the one I love

Only thing that's true, the origin is you

[x2]

Some love's a pill and some love is a candy cane

It tastes so sweet but leaves you feeling sick with pain

Your love is air, I breathe it in around me

Don't know it's there but without it I'm drowning

Love

You're the origin of love

Love

You're the origin of love love love

Love love

[x4]

The origin of love love love

Love love

Thank God that you found me

Thank God that you found me

Thank God that you found me
