Manis.Sweet

Buah mengkudu kusangka manggis,
Manggis terletak di dalam cawan,
Gula madu kusangka manis,
Manis lagi senyummu tuan.

A bitter lemon I took for a berry,
A berry picked from a garden here,
Sweet I thought were sugar and honey,
But none so sweet as your smile, my dear.

And yes, it is because I'm not Italian that I can like Eros Ramazzotti's songs without losing much street cred. Bah!

Confession - I was ashamed by an Italian ex who gave me sooo much grief when he found a Ramazzotti CD in my shopping bag. I might have a search and put it on tonight. ;)

Hahaha! These Italians just go livid when they know that you listen to Ramazzotti don't they?

So a one and a two and a three!

"Piu' bella cosa non c'e'!
Piu' bella cosa di te
Unica come sei
Immensa quando vuoi
Grazie di esistere!"

But then, with lyrics like that, I guess I can understand why.
