Another Monday, morning of sunshine, a promise of a warm day, calls for a beautiful song ...

I discovered Adelmo Fornaciari, better know as Zucchero, by accident. And a fortunate one it was. The gods of music were smiling down on my that day. A local dj snuck on "I Lay Down" one afternoon, a beautiful ballad and duet. I immediately recognized the gravelly voice of the mighty John Lee Hooker, but I had no idea who the other person singing was. At the end the dj announced it was Zucchero, an Italian singer. I was blown away!

This song makes me think of salvation from a broken heart. I like the Italian version best - "Ali d 'Oro (Wings of Gold)."

"I lay down
With an angel
I lay down
With an angel
‘cause she treat me kind sometimes

Come in me (Vieni in me)
Take me home (Portami via)
Wings of gold (Ali d’oro)
Come in me (Vieni in me)
Make me fly (Fammi volare)
Heaven below (Mio cielo)
Thieves in the night
Gettin’ so high
Sweet soul of mine, oh mine.

I lay down
With an angel
I lay down
With an angel
I lay down
I lay down thinking
More than I could
Really say.

Stay in me (Stai in me)
Keep me flyin’ (Continua a volare)
Wings of gold (Ali d’oro)
Thieves in the night (Siamo l’inganno)
Gettin’ so high (Baciami il cuore)
Makin’ out so good, so good (Anima mia, oh mia)

I see the sun rise up in your eyes (Vedo nel sole dei tuoi occhi)
Another sun starts to fall (Un altro sole cadere)
We’re at good-bye but not the end no (Siamo l’addio e non la fine)
Have no fear. (Senza ricordi ne’ paure)
Ooh, babe keep takin’ me high (Uh baby, portami via)
Wings of gold (Ali d’oro)

I lay down with an angel ..."
