The Ballad Of Blind Love

I've had this one song stuck in my head for literal weeks, so here's art (2 versions cause I couldn't decide on the colors)

Fellow italians, I'm sorry for turning a 60's song gay

(song's "La Ballata Dell'Amore Cieco" by Fabrizio De André btw)

More details and variants here

It is Sunday morning, the rain is cooling everything down nicely and I'm going to turn a halfmade half failed Victorian chemise into a half lenght Italian 17th century chemise

"WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS" THIS IS NOT AN EXACT TRANSLATION, THIS IS AN ADAPTATION (AND ONE THAT STILL NEEDS TONS OF FIXING AT THAT)

You know what? Since Tumblr decides not to let me post in text you'll get screenshots if it works, if not I'll get even angrier at a site and look stupid

There’s no such thing as “weird.” Everyone’s normal in their own way.

"THE BALLAD OF JANE DOE" THIS IS NOT AN EXACT TRANSLATION, THIS IS AN ADAPTATION (AND ONE THAT STILL NEEDS TONS OF FIXING AT THAT)

I started this at the beginning of June, forgot about it, remembered it, that happened like thrice, opened yesterday my notes app, found the beginning of it, ended it, polished it up, kept on polishing it up this morning, didn't give a single fuck about the syllable unless once or twice, tried my best with the rhymes but massively fucked up, so here you have this little shit!

ASK ME FOR PERMISSION BEFORE USING THIS, DO CREDIT ME IF YOU EVER USE THIS (I doubt you will it’s impractical and still needs so much fixing it’s unbelievable) AND TELL ME/LINK WHATEVER YOU USED IT FOR USING REBLOGS (because for some reason Tumblr doesn’t like comments with links and while I do think I understand why I don’t always like it)

(the apostrophes [or however �� is called] are used to shorten the number of syllables often in poetry so I’m obviously abusing that power.)

Alcuni diran che ne siam fuori Muovendo margherite, dopo che muori Ma i vermi necessitan dei nostri cuori C'è solo una paura ricorrente Qui, l'anima mia, è presente O sta marcendo in trappola tra i miei pori? Anima mia Anima mia Anima mia Anima mia Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah Ahh-ahh-ah Senz'anima mia, corp'innominato Niente storia, che peccato Crudel'esistenza fu sol'una farsa Oh, San Pietro, famm'entrar Saprai dove la mia testa può star Non mi dirai infine chi son io? Chi son io Chi son io Chi son io Chi son io Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ahh Ahh-ah-ah E dal terreno, dove vivrai Sento l'angoscia di chi non sai ('N cor che completo è mai) E com'una vecchia dimenticata melodia Una canzone che nessuno sa Dimenticato come fa Solo John ed io Sempr'e per sempre una, Jane Doe E mi chiedo, "Perché, Dio? Se quest'è come muoio, Dio Perché rimaner senza famiglia E amici?" (Ooh) Non'ho avut'una celebrazione Solo 'sta consolazione Crono mangia tutt'i suoi figli alla fine 'Na melodia l'aria'ttraversa Quando cade il silenzio, chi s'interessa? (Chi s'interessa?) 'N'altra triste, dimenticata melodia 'N'altra canzone che nessuno sa Quindi quell'è come fa Solo John ed io Sempr'e per sempre una, Jane Doe E ti chiede, "Perché, Dio?" (Perché, perché, perché, perché?) "Non'è modo di morir, Dio!" (Nessun'a cantar, nessun'a sospirar) Ora che tutt'è dett'e fatto Non c'è nessuno a dirmi chi sono io? Niente canzoni di celebrazione Solo 'sta triste speculazione Come John, sarò eternamente Un nome dimenticato, che qualcun'ha'bbandonato Solo "Jane" Jane Doe ('Na melodia l'aria'ttraversa) (Quando cade il silenzio, chi s'interessa?) (Jane) (Doe)

So, direct translation! (used in this [and in this sometimes!] to specify the meanings and explain certain word choices)

Some might say we're out Moving daisies, after you're dead But we all know the worms need our hearts There's just one reoccurring fear Here, my soul, is it present Or is it rotting trapped within my pores? My soul My soul My soul My soul Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah Ahh-ahh-ah Without my soul, unnamed body Wihout a story, what a shame Cruel existence was only a farce Oh, Saint Peter, let me in You must know where my head could be(/stay/reside) Won't you tell me at last who I am? Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ahh Ahh-ah-ah And from the terrain, where you will live I hear the anguish of who you don't know (A choir that's never complete) And like an old forgotten tune A song that no one knows Forgot how it goes(/does) Just John and I Forever eternally(/Forever and for forever/forever and ever) a, Jane Doe And I'm askin', "Why, Lord? If this is how I die, Lord Why remain with no family And no friends?" (Ooh) I haven't had a celebration Just this (but a "this" you say in a quick way [because 'sta is short for questa, yup you take away one entire syllable], almost angry or if you're without patience or at times simply because it's shorter) consolation Chrono (get it? Because they say time [but for time in italian you'd better use an article (]a, an, the, those ones) or it'll sound weird] and Chrono wasn't the Titan of Time? And didn't he eat his all his children-Zeus? I might be wrong [I doubt though] but I think this works ok) eats all his children in the end A melody passes through (it literally throughs the air how do I say that) the air When silence falls, who's interested (in it)? (Who's interested?) Another sad, forgotten tune Another song that no one knows So that's how it goes(/does) Just John and I (to try to rhyme it []rather uselessly because it wasn't needed but it's alright anyway] with Doe and God [in Italian it's Dio]) Forever eternally(/Forever and for forever/forever and ever) a, Jane Doe And she's askin' you, "Why, Lord?" (Why, why, why, why?) (why not put the "Oh"? Because in Italian Why [Perché] has two syllables and I need to try my best to fit everything [I literally haven't counted the syllables for anything but oh well]) "("This" is implied) is no way to die, Lord!" (No one to sing, no one to sigh) Now that all is said and done Isn't there anyone to tell me who I am? No songs of celebration Just this (the "this" in Italian, just like the last time in a similar verse, is missing a syllable) sorry speculation Like John, I'll be eternally A forgotten name, that someone abandoned Just "Jane" Jane Doe (A melody passes through [is "throughs the air"something you can say?] the air) (When silence falls, who's interested [in it]?) (Jane) (Doe)

OG LYRICS (if you’re seeing this I doubt you don’t know them, but here they are anyway):

Some might say we're released Pushing daisies, deceased But we all know the worms must be fed There's just one lingering fear Oh, my soul, is it here Or is it rotting somewhere with my head? Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah Ahh-ahh-ah Oh, no soul, and no name And no story, what a shame Cruel existence was only a sham Oh, Saint Peter, let me in You must know where I've been Won't you tell me at last who I am? Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ahh Ahh-ah-ah And from the ground, beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street (A choir never complete) And like an old forgotten tune A song that no one knows Forgot how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And I'm askin', "Why, Lord? If this is how I die, Lord Why be left with no family And no friends?" (Ooh) I've got no celebration Just this consolation Time eats all his children in the end A melody floats through the air When silence falls, does no one care? (Does anyone care?) Another sad, forgotten tune Another song that no one knows So that's how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And she's askin', "Why, Lord?" (Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?) "This is no way to die, Lord!" (No one to sing, no one to sigh) Now that all is said and done Isn't there anyone to tell me who I am? No singing songs of celebration Just this sorry speculation Like John, I'll be eternally A forgotten name, some lost refrain Just "Jane" Jane Doe (A melody floats through the air) (When silence falls, does no one care?) (Jane) (Doe)
