Io ogni mattina quando parto
lascio aperta la mia porta
se qualcuno verrà
e poi metto polvere di gesso
sul pavimento di casa
per i passi che farà
perché quando c'è una porta aperta
di sicuro, prima o dopo, si sa… *

The song "Polvere di gesso" is from Gianmaria Testa's album Lampo, which you can download from iTunes. He tours the U.S. (New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, possibly other cities) in November 2005. More on GMT here; other tour dates (Montréal in July!) here.
vilaine fille is taking the weekend off, hence the early posting. Happy listening!
* [Translation: Every morning when I leave, I leave my door open, in case someone comes. Then I put chalk dust on the floor for the steps that they'll take. Because when there's an open door, surely, sooner or later, you know…]
Whoa!
I'm in love, I think.
