Come canzone del lunedì è forse più nota “Tell me why (I don’t like Mondays)” dei Boomtown Rats di Bob Geldof, ma è una storia un po’ cupa. Nel conto alla rovescia verso il 17-18-19 dicembre non ci sta bene. Molto meglio questa:

[Intro]

(a capella):

Ba-da ba-da-da-da
Ba-da ba-da-da-da

(harpsichord, guitar, and bass enter)

F# F#sus F# F#sus
Ba-da ba-da-da-da

[Verse 1]

F# F#sus F# F#sus
Monday, Monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da) | lunedì, lunedì
F# F#sus F# F#sus
So good to me (ba-da ba-da-da-da) | per me è cosi buono
F# F#sus F# E
Monday mornin’, it was all I hoped it would be | lunedì mattina, speravo che fosse solo quello
A A6 Amaj7 A6 C#
Oh Monday mornin’, Monday mornin’ couldn’t guarantee (ba-da ba-da-da-da) | il lunedì mattina non poteva garantirmi
F# F#sus * F#
That Monday evenin’ you would still be here with me | che il lunedì sera saresti ancora stata con me

* vocal harmonies imply E/F#; keyboard plays F#sus4

[Verse 2]

Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day |lunedì, lunedì, non ti fidare di quel giorno
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way | lunedì, lunedì, a volte esce così e basta
Oh Monday mornin’ you gave me no warnin’ of what was to be | oh, il lunedì mattina non mi avvisasti di quello che doveva succedere
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me | oh lunedì, lunedì, come potevi andartene senza portare me

[Bridge 1]

G
Every other day (every other day), every other day | qualsiasi altro giorno
E
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah | della settimana va bene, sì
G
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes | ma quando viene il lunedì
F# D#
A-you can find me cryin’ all of the time | mi puoi trovare a piangere tutto il tempo

(key changes to G#)

Monday, Monday (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
Can’t trust that day (ba-da ba-da-da-da)
