Words © 2021 by John Tabacco
Music © 1973 by George Harrison

I always loved George Harrison's song "Who Can See It?" from his great 1973 album "Living In The Material World". The melody of which always sounded quite operatic. I wonder what it would sound like with a female soprano singing it but in a foreign language. Since I was never able to secure such a session I took it upon myself to sing it. I tried to translate George's lyrics into Italian but they would not flow). So, of course I came up with the next best thing: A bunch syllabic nonsense that sings well but doesn't mean anything to anyone. My apologies all you Beatle fans out there.

lyrics

Mi so del lawn
Mi so del shawn
Mi sol wan e-vana mor
Raychell raymone
Un alda yates das iz born

Me seldom quan
Das ova yore
Candulo san morte mor
Del mondo key
Va utta shedda lung be lore su tu who
Be lung be lore su tu
Vel veeda torn

Grazie mel dorn
Grazie mel tween
Grazie in for-nature zeen
Vai in payturb
En ull das haave dayken burn

Mi so del weese
Mi so del splene
E-va va jewel parascene
For if par whurl
Va utta chetta lung be lore su tu who
Be lung be lore su tu
Vel veeda torn
Be lung be lore su tu
Vel veeda torn
