Gabriel, Peter - Down The Dolce Vita Lyrics






"Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!
"Get back, we don't have time
'Cos I hear we're sending off the heroes
When the yera goes, (they're) out of the bay,
Trying to find a way
to make it alive"

"So long," said four men to their families
"Be strong till we get back home
And if not, take care of all the children
Until then just hope and pray
We're gonna find a way
to make it alive"

"You guys are crazy!"

They shout and then we leave the harbour.
In doubt, they're acting weird
And the sea is whipping up a welcome
If hell come we're all easy prey,
Trying to find a way
to make it alive"

"You guys are crazy!"

The captain's hand shook for
the guys to get in place
He said, "Let's look behind your face".
With each corner covered, they were all around
Waiting for the midnight bell to sound.

"Out of sight," cried Aeron through his glasses
"Don't fight" said Gorham's smile

All the while, his hand was on my shoulder
I was scared of being an easy prey,

Trying to find a way
to make it alive"

(I won't be easy prey trying to find a way to make it alive.)

    Por la dolce vita
    Peter Gabriel

    'Oye Mac, ¡nos vemos en la Dolce Vita!
    'Vuelve, no tenemos tiempo.
    Porque escuché que estamos enviando a los héroes.
    Cuando pasa el año, están fuera de la bahía,
    Tratando de encontrar un camino
    Para hacerlo vivo '

    'Tanto tiempo' dijeron pobres a sus familias,
    Sé fuerte hasta que volvamos a casa.
    Y si no, cuida a todos los niños.
    Hasta entonces solo espera y reza.
    Voy a encontrar una manera de hacerlo vivir '

    'Chicos, ustedes están locos'

    Gritan y luego salimos del puerto.
    En duda, están actuando raro.
    Y el mar está azotando una bienvenida.
    Si viene el infierno, todos somos presa fácil.
    Tratando de encontrar un camino
    Para hacerlo vivo '

    'Chicos, ustedes están locos'

    La mano del capitán tembló para que los muchachos se pusieran en su lugar.
    Él dijo: 'Miremos detrás de tu cara'.

    Con cada esquina cubierta, estaban alrededor.
    Esperando que suene la campana de medianoche

    "Fuera de vista", gritó Aeron a través de sus gafas.
    'No pelees' dijo la sonrisa de Gorham
    Por otra parte su mano estaba sobre mi hombro.
    Tenía miedo de ser presa fácil,
    Tratando de encontrar un camino
    Para hacerlo vivo '
    No seré presa fácil
    Tratando de encontrar un camino
    Para hacerlo vivo '

    Down the Dolce Vita
    Peter Gabriel

    'Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!
    'Get back, we don't have time
    'cause I hear we're sending off the heroes
    When the year goes, they're out of the bay,
    Trying to find a way
    To make it alive'

    'So long' said poor men to their families, 
    Be strong 'til we get back home.
    And if not, take care of all the children
    Until then just hope and pray
    Gonna find a way To make it alive'

    'You guys are crazy'

    They shout and then we leave the harbor.
    In doubt, they're acting weird
    And the sea is whipping up a welcome
    If hell come we're all easy prey,
    Trying to find a way
    To make it alive'

    'You guys are crazy'

    The captain's hand shook for the guys to get in place

    Waiting for the midnight bell to sound

    'Out of sight, " cried Aeron through his glasses
    'Don't fight' said Gorham's smile
    Other wise his hand was on my shoulder
    I was scared of being easy prey,
    Trying to find a way 
    To make it alive'
    I won´t be easy prey
    Trying to find a way 
    To make it alive'

  7. D.... J....

    Para mim, um flerte muitíssimo interessante com a disco. Poucos conseguem um feito assim...e a introdução deixa a música mais especial, com ar de suspense. Grande Peter!!!

  8. h.... ....

    Check out Phil Manzanera too.,

  9. E.... ....

    William Regal...

  10. J.... V....

    This kind of song should be used in that scene of a movie where all the action takes place, am I right???????

  11. S.... P....

    this tune is very strong

  12. S.... B....

    Had this in my head all day. Feels good to get off work and hear it.

  13. D.... S....

    dulce vita means sweet life and music makes it so!

  14. E.... H....

    J'adore l'intro de cette chanson

    E.... H....

  15. L.... S....

    Prog rock disco funk with a dash of orchestral flair. Love that Peter Gabriel

    L.... S....

    progressive symphonic disco funk-rock :D

  16. J.... N....

    This song just opened up mind.

  17. a.... ....

    Take the intro, decompress it slightly, add the outro and draw it out about 30-45 seconds, and you have an ideal intro music for a sports team- much better than tired rock and roll or hiphop...

  18. M.... P....

    This song is what I imagine God and his Orchestra sounds like.

  19. T.... M....

    The orchestral bits remind me of Michael Kamen. I know it wasn't him that did the arrangements on the song, but that's who it reminds me of.

  20. C.... W....

    Thanks for posting this, Renato. Great album!

  21. D.... S....

    I had actually never listened to any of Peter Gabriel's earlier work.  I discovered him with So, and listened to him from that point on.

    I'm only now discovering this and it is AWESOME.

    D.... S....

    +David St-Michel I did the same. It's a beautiful journey! After wearing out the vinyl So, I got PG'77 and Foxtrot, and went on from there.

    D.... S....

    i just discovered him this year and feels awesome

  22. C.... M....

    i will see u all down da dolce vita.

  23. G.... P....

    love this!!!!!
