different
In the heart of London, on a train
in the middle of the country
on the edge of a giant volcano
in the biggest church in the world
counting the columns
and staring up at the crucifixes
He traveled
Hey, Kid, give us a good tarantella
And you show me
how a tarantella goes paisa
America
Why the hell don't you get off?
Just once? One time?
See the world for yourself
with your own eyes?
You ever think about it?
You could do anything you wanted to
People would go crazy for you
You could make beaucoup bucks, man
Get yourself the finest house
Get yourself a wife
Why not?
God knows you can't
spend the rest of your life
traveling back and forth
like some yo-yo
The world is out there
Nothing but a gangplank to cross
And what's a gangplank?
A few stupid steps
Christ, everything is waiting
at the bottom of those steps
Why don't you just do it
one time?
Why don't you just get off?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I think land people
waste a lot of time wondering why
Winter comes
and you can't wait for summer
Summer comes
and you live in dread of winter
That's way
you never tire of traveling
Always chasing someplace far away
where it's always summer
Doesn't sound like a good bet to me
Hold it! Stop everything
Forgive me for allowing myself
to your music was so strong
You don't look too happy
to be going to America
It's not America
It's everything I leave behind
Until a few years ago
I know only my field
The world for me
started and ended there
in that little piece of the land
I never walked down
the main street of a city
Maybe you can't understand but
I understand perfectly
I know someone who
went through something very similar
And one fine day
did his field go dry too?
And did his wife
also run off with a priest?
And did the fever
take his five children?
No. But he ended up alone too
Then he is more lucky than me
I still have a daughter
The young one
She survived
And it's for her that I decide one
day to fight against my bad luck
and travel all over
without a destination
And then one day
when I go through one of the
many towns I never see before
I come to a hill
And then I see
the most beautiful thing in my life
The sea
The sea?
I never see it before
It was liek lightning hit me
Because I hear the voice
The voice of the sea?
Yeah, the voice of the sea
I never heard it
The voice of the sea
it is like a shout
A shout big and strong
screaming and screaming
And the thing it was screaming was:
You
with shit instead brains
Iife is immense
can you understand that?
Immense
I never think of it that way
A revolution was in my head
That's how I suddenly
decide to change my life
to start fresh
Change life. Start fresh
Tell that to your friend
Nineteen Hundred
Nineteen Hundred
It's Max Tooney, your friend
Come on out, Nineteen Hundred!
I'm your friend too
Even if we never met
Don't worry, no cops
You said something about a piano
Where was it exactly?
We found it over there
Nineteen Hundred
On the violin
yours truly, Bill Douglas
Tuba and bass, Freddie Loycano
Max Tooney on trumpet
And finally, on piano
Danny Boodman
T.D. Lemon Nineteen Hundred
the greatest
For the last time
Nineteen Hundred, just...
just the normal notes
End of the line
Where do yu get it?
What?
The music
I don't know. You see
that woman over there, for example?
She looks like someone
who's killed her husband
with the help of her lover
And now she's running off
with the family jewels
Don't you think this music's her?
Damn, it's true
You see that guy over there?
He can't forget a thing
Listen to his music
His nead bursts with memories and
there's nothing he can do about it
And look at that one there
She looks like a prostitute
who's thinking of becoming a nun
That's incredible
Now, look at this one
See how he walks?
I'd say he's in someone else's suit
judging by the way he wears it
I'd say he's a stowaway
slipped into first class
