Learn Italian in Song: Balla Linda
Another classic from Lucio Battisti.
Dance Linda
ritornello      refrain
Balla Linda balla come sai      Dance, Linda, dance as you know how
Balla Linda, non fermarti      Dance, Linda, don’t stop
Balla Linda, balla come sai      Dance, Linda, dance as you know how
Occhi azzurri belli come i suoi      Blue eyes like hers
Linda forse non li hai      Linda maybe you don’t have
Ridi sempre, non parli mai d’amore      You always laugh, you never speak of love
Pero’ non sai mentire mai.      But you never know how to lie
Mh Mh      Hmm hmm
Bella sempre, dolce come lei      Always beautiful, sweet as she
Linda forse tu non sei      Linda perhaps you aren’t
Tu non dici che resti insieme a me      You never say you’ll stay with me
Per non mi abbandoni mai      But you never abandon me
Tu non mi lasci mai      You never leave me
Ti cerco e tu, e tu ci sei      I look for you, and there you are
Ti cerco e tu mi dai quel che puoi      I look for you, and you give me what you can
Non fai come lei, no non fai come lei      You don’t do like her, no you don’t do like her
Tu non prendi tutto quello che vuoi.      You don’t take everything you can.
(repeat)
Chelsea Bluegrass
On our way to St. Barth’s, Ross and I stayed overnight with my classmate Sarah and her husband Dave, who met playing music. They treated us to a mini bluegrass concert in their Chelsea home, which Ross captured on my digital still camera.
You can see Sarah and Dave at the Bluegrass and Beyond Jam, held on the 1st, 3rd and the occasional 5th Monday of each month at Paddy Reilly’s Pub (519 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10016 — SW corner of 2nd Ave and 29th street) in Manhattan.
Not Returnable

Leaving St. Barth’s
It’s an exciting ride in a small commuter plane from St. Barth’s to St. Maarten – though not as exciting as the ride TO St. Barth’s…
