A friend of mine -a huge Azzurri fan- found a youtube video and asked me: Why is the Italian team singing this song, which seems to be a love song?

The song is Azzurro by Adriano Celentano. Youtube video under cut. I also added lyrics and English translation, just for the heck of it XD

( il treno dei desideri nei miei pensieri all'incontrario va )

So yeah, anyone know anything ? Why was this song in particular chosen? Is it just for the word, "azzurro"? ^_^;;

On a side-note, those guys sing pretty well ne, considering they're football players and not singr. some sing better than some johnny boys XD

Oh and, sending out some happy and positive vibes to Cannavaro. He hurt his ankle pretty bad in yesterday's training, and looks like he won't be able to play at all in this European Championship T__T Capitano! come facciamo senza di te! ♥

 
So, everyone around me is quite bummed about the results of the elections. That includes me too. There was a little bit of hope inside me all day. But numbers talk. And numbers announced a really sad reality today.

Anyho, cut the sadness and let's chin up. I just got this amazing video clip from O.Z. @FB (that was fun XD). Amazing for 2 reasons:
-, I was just thinking about this last night O___O
-, Not only does it depict the best 5 minutes of the whole World Cup 2006 (IMO, and I'm obviously biased), it does so accompanied by the wonderful comments of an ARABIC COMMENTATOR! don't worry, there are English subs (except for the parts said in Italian O__O) XD

( The German Mannschaft drowns in the blue ocean! )

btw, does anyone find the German team name disturbing?! XD

You thought I forgot about this didn't you !?! ^^ *points at a certain person*

No revealing of hidden projects, but.. I looked quite a bit for a translation of this song. All I could find was kana and romanization. I tried translating it myself, but I don't trust my limited Japanese knowledge enough so much as to post up my own translation (;^_^A

I'm only putting up the song, with its kana and romanization for now. Translation will follow later ^^
EDIT: solitair san kindly agreed to translate this song. You can find the translation here. (thank you solitair).
