So here’s a little variation in the Litobag series. This is a daily blog post from the Participatory Lithology project, giving you each morning before 9AM (CET) a song related rocks, stones, or minerals.
The playlist we created is now reaching 50 tracks, and every other day or so we are adding new entries. These are either dug out by the Jug Band Colline Metallifere (Metalliferous Hills Jug Band) , or proposed by one of our project’s resident-at-home DJs. We are today out with episode 10, so yo have some sense of our timeline. The little variation is that we would also like to consider artist who have references to stones, minerals, or rocks in their names. So, enter…Joss Stone.
This is also a song mentioning stone, so this is a sort of Lithobag squared! Go Joss, go!
I’ve got a right to be wrong | ho il diritto di avere torto
My mistakes will make me strong | i miei sbagli mi renderanno più forte
I’m stepping out into the great unknown | sto uscendo verso grandi incognite
I’m feeling wings though I’ve never flown | sto sentendo le mie ali, anche se non ho mai volato
I’ve got a mind of my own | ho una mia intelligenza
I’m flesh and blood to the bone | sono di carne e sangue fino all’osso
I’m not made of stone | non sono fatta di pietra
Got a right to be wrong |
So just leave me alone | per cui lasciatemi stare
I’ve got a right to be wrong
I’ve been held down too long | sono stata schiacciata troppo a lungo
I’ve got to break free | mi devo liberare
So I can finally breathe | per potere infine respirare
I’ve got a right to be wrong |
Got to sing my own song | devo cantare la mia canzone
I might be singing out of key | potrei non cantare a tono
But it sure feels good to me | ma mi fa davvero stare bene
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone
You’re entitled to your opinion | tu puoi avere la tua opinione
But it’s really my decision | ma è in effetti una decisione mia
I can’t turn back I’m on a mission | non posso tornare indietro, sono in missione
If you care don’t you dare blur my vision | se ci tieni, non ti provare a offuscare la mia visione
Let me be all that I can be | lascia che sia tutto ciò che posso essere
Don’t smother me with negativity | non soffocarmi con la tua negatività
Whatever’s out there waiting for me | qualsiasi cosa ci sia, là fuori per me
I’m going to face it willingly | l’affronterò volentieri
I’ve got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I’m stepping out into the great unknown
I’m feeling wings though I’ve never flown
I’ve got a mind of my own
Flesh and blood to the bone
See, I’m not made of stone
I’ve got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone
I’ve got a right to be wrong
I’ve been held down to long
I’ve got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I’ve got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
I’ve got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone
