Prima sigla per la versione italiana dell’anime “Lupin III”, un brano in inglese dall’inequivocabile sapore disco, ma dal piglio quasi epico, eseguito dal combo francese Daisy Daze & the Bumble Bees.
'Lupin III Planet O' testo (lyrics)
Testo: N. Cohen, S. Woods
Musica: Bumble Bees
Cantata da: Daisy Daze
Planet O, planet O.
Planet O, planet O.
We are pirates from the planet O.
We’ll enslave you. We will break your soul.
We will chain you, make you fall and bow.
We’ll defile, satisfy you.
Please don’t touch me. Don’t come near me.
We will rock you. We will shock you.
Please don’t touch me. Don’t come near me.
Please don’t touch me. Don’t you hear me?
I’m a lady, just a baby.
What’s a lady? What’s a baby?
Call me lady. Call me crazy.
I don’t want to go to planet O…
No, no, no, no, don’t touch me.
No, no, no, don’t come near me.
We’ll surprise, vandalize you.
We’ll surprise, vandalize you.
Mercy, mercy. Help me, help me. Call my Momma.
Call the USO(?).
Planet O, planet O.
Planet O, planet O.
We will break you, desecrate your soul.
We will shake you, overtake you.
Please don’t touch me, touch me, touch me.
Don’t come near me, near me, near me.
Hypnotize you. Neutralize you.
Crazed it made me. Serenade me.
Wake me. Take me… to the planet O…
We are pirates from the planet O.
We have come to capture you.
Please come peacefully.
We will tie you, sacrifice you.
Tie me, tie me. Halleluja.
Catch me. Take me… to the planet O…
E’ vero che questa è la sigla usata nel 1979 per Lupin III (io l’ho amata da subito e continuo ad amarla follemente anche adesso che ho 53 anni) ma se, pur avendo il testo, avete il coraggio di metterla tra le canzoni “per i bimbi”, può significare solo che non capite una singola parola di inglese.
Altrimenti, per voi anche “Relax” dei Frankie goes to Hollywood è per bambini……..
