It's an old Italian song that they've been singing for years called "Il fume amaro". Sound familiar?? Mir |

The correct spelling is 'Il fiume amaro' (the bitter river). I can remember the melody but only sparse words of the lyric. I will ask my wife. Stay tuned. Ciao Ezio |

From: Ezio My wife remembers only the first stanza: C'e' un fiume amaro dentro me Il sangue della mia ferita Ma ancora di piu' e' amaro il bacio Che sulla bocca mia mi ferisce ancor Translation: There's a bitter river inside me The blood of my wound But more bitter is the kiss that still is wounding my lips ---
Probably it was sung by a singer named Iva Zanicchi. We can't remember what's this lyric about. |

I also remembered just same words and the problem was that both me and Ezio remembered wrong: the mouth of the song is "your" (tua) not "my" (mia), which is quite strange. Correcting the spelling it is not so hard to find it in the web. The song was interpreted in italian by Iva Zanicchi (now one of the more passionated among Berlusconi's supporter on his TV:s) but it's greek, it was composed by Miki Theodorakis during the time he spent in the jail as politic prisioner. Is one of the more popular greek songs, in Greece, by summer, you can hear it in the most various versions in every bar or restaurant. Fiume amaro Iva Zanicchi È un fiume amaro dentro me, il sangue della mia ferita, ma ancor di più, è amaro il bacio che sulla bocca tua, mi ferisce ancor. Lunga è la spiaggia e lunga è l'onda, l'angoscia è lunga, non passa mai. Cade il mio pianto sul mio peccato, sul mio dolore, che tu non sai. E tu non sai che cosa è il gelo, cos'è la notte senza luna e il non sapere in quale istante il tuo dolore ti assalirà. Lunga è la spiaggia e lunga è l'onda, l'angoscia è lunga, non passa mai. Cade il mio pianto sul mio peccato, sul mio dolore, che tu non sai. |
