 Bashana Haba'Ah (Anytime Of The Year)

 Music by Nurit Hirsh, lyrics by Ehud Manor

Bashana haba'ah
Neishev al hamirpeset
V'nispor tziporim nod'dot

Y'ladim b'chufsha
Y'sachaku tofeset
Bein habayit l'vein hasadot

Od tir'eh od tir'eh
Kama tov yihiyeh
Bashana bashana haba'ah (2x)

Anavim adumim
Yav'shilu ad ha'erev
V'yug'shu tson'nim lashulchan

V'ruchot r'dumim
Yis'u el eim haderech
Itonim y'shanim v'anan

Od tir'eh od tir'eh
Kama tov yihiyeh
Bashana bashana haba'ah (2x)

Bashana haba'ah
Nifros kapot yadayim
Mul ha'or hanigar halavan

Anafa l'vana
Tifros ka'or k'nafayim
V'hashemesh tizrach b'tochan

Od tir'eh od tir'eh
Kama tov yihiyeh

Bashana bashana haba'ah (2x)

English Translation

 Next year we will sit on the porch
And count all the birds.
Children on vacation will play catch
Between the house in the fields.
 
You will see how good it will be
Next year.
 
Red grapes will ripen by evening
And be served cold to the table.
Pleasant breezes will blow on to the roads
Old newspapers and clouds.
 
Next year we will spread out our open hands
Into the bright white light.
A white branch will spread force in light its wings
And the sun will rise in their midst.

Damiano Mazzone

In this edition of Angel Watchers I am featuring Damiano Mazzone who is from Naples, Italy.  Both of his parents are professional musicians, so it's not surprising that Damiano is bursting with talent.  Damiano's stage presence is so powerful, that it seems at times, that his spirit will just explode out of his skin.  The only other young singers today who have that kind of explosive emotional power are Valentin Vierling, Afanasy Prokhorov, Razvan Dobai ,and Yura Demidovich.  These five singers, taken together form a musical pantheon, that won't be equaled for at least fifty years or more.  It is very unusual to have that many extremely talented new young singers on the musical scene at one time.  I am presenting Damiano to you in an exciting double-play.  In the topmost video  Damiano sings for you the rollicking "A Città 'e Pulcinella (The City of Pulcinella)".  Pulcinella, often called Punch in English, originated in the Commedia dell'arte of the 17th century, and became a stock character in Neapolitan puppetry.  Pulcinella is always dressed in black and white, which symbolizes and moderates life and death.  In the bottom video, Damiano sings the incredibly passionate "Ddoie Regine", that was composed by Gianni Fiorellino.  Unfortunately I could not find a translation of the title of this song as it seems to be in a form of Italian dialect.

Anna e Marco │ Matteo Martignoni

 

In this edition of Angel Watchers I am featuring an incredible new singer from Italy by the name of Matteo Martignoni.  Matteo does a very beautiful cover of the late great Lucio Dalla's haunting "Anna e Marco (Anna and Mark)".  Matteo gives a superb performance that just melts the heart.  One might say that he truly sings with angel fire love.  As a bonus I added a fun clip of Matteo doing imitations, "Imitazioni (Imitations)".  Please click on this link to watch "Anna e Marco". This song will make you look at the world, and life, differently.   It is so good.  Safe journeys to all the fans of Angel Watchers, wherever you may be.
