light in the piazza

The libretto is included with the CD, but I'm not sure if a translation is included for the lyrics for "Il Mondo Era Vuoto".

Synopsis: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?boardname=bway&thread=853320#1126153
Look for Barihunk's post 1/2 way down. Very detailed with songs included.

Word on the street is that lyrics aren't out online yet...

well if you search for 'piazza synopsis' there is a really well written one posted on the board.

i dont think anyones posted the translated lyrics for the songs- i know i only vaguely explained Aiutami a while ago.

VoiceofReason - looks like they're updating that site by the day! I looked a week ago and they only had 3 songs I think. yay :)

Well, just in case it can't be found, here's translation for the song portion Aiutami (the beginning is basically Fabrizio crying out how he's lost because Clara's gone), stanza for stanza, to the best of my ability:

Oh, what trouble!
What can I do?
Oh, somebody save me!
Where was my head? (sort of like he's lost his mind)
I've lost my love!

Then Giuseppe and Fabrizio repeat the same verse and go on:

For a kiss,
For a kiss,
What can I do?
Pity me!
What can I do?
I'm caught up in a catastrophe.

And that verse also repeats in the round.

Signor Naccarelli is saying:
Little one.
Poor one.
Everything will pass.

It sounds better in Italian.

yes, its- what did i do.

Thank you all so much for responding. Light in the Piazza has fast become one of my favorites... I have it on repeat on my CD player. It's so beautiful and Matthew Morrison and Kelli O'Hara seem to me the Barbie and Ken on Broadway... they are adorable together (okay, that comment is based patheticlly on pictures and the Tony awards)

Love to Me is really pretty. I'm also in love with Passeggiata- I get giddy everytime I listen to it- and Aiutami. And those are just SOME of my favorites.

I've never heard of this "Piazza" you speak of...

By any chance does anyone have the translation for Il Mondo Era Vuoto... I put it into BabelFish and this is what it spit out:

Fabrizio: The world was empty the shadows riempivan the not pariva light never Clara, the light in the public square Clara, my light, mine cor Hour that is wide awake To the shadow vo not to return I did not know to feel solo Lacking in the sense of the life Was cosi Clara Clara Clara, my light, mine cor the essence that lacked to me, six you It your light m' overflows But it cannot love to me Not therefore Or Not amera Clara a child cannot love a child God Papà I slept I did not know I am only Single in the buio I was not alive Not there was Clara But hour your light m' overflows Fabrizo: I must seem more like a man than succeeded, the more important, the more, more... more like Van Johnson! Mr.: Van Johnson? Fabrizio: , Van Johnson! Mr.: You want to assomiglaire to Van Johnson? Baudelaire wants to be Fred Astaire. Not! And too much late. You will remain in bohemian Fabrizio: It helps me, Papà! Mr.: Even tomorrow Fabrizio: Not, it cannot tomorrow be, dev' to be now! But it cannot love to me Not therefore Or Clara will not love a child cannot love a child God! Papà! Clara Clara Clara, my light, mine cor the essence that lacked to me, six you Six you Clara Clara, my light, mine cor the essence that lacked to me, six you Six you Clara Clara Clara, my light, mine cor in the buio I was not only alive Or God give my Clara to me Or, paddre, its light Mr.: Or, Madonna mine! OK, Van Johnson! Fabrizio: M' overflows

How does one access the Piazza livejournal community?

The Piazza livejournal community link is below.
I think someone actually put the translation of Il Mondo Era Vuoto up there. If not, I'm sure it can be requested.
