Wendy found a learn a language app (Duolingo) and is trying to learn Italian. I hear her in the other room tu sei una ragazza which reminded me of this song. I have a rare Bowie album with the Italian version of Space Oddity on it. However, its not just a translation of the original song, the lyrics tell a different story. Its a love song. Per wiki: This special version of Space Oddity was commissioned for the Italian market and released in November 1969. Two Italian bands, Equipe 84 and The Computers, had recorded their own Italian versions of Space Oddity and Bowies record company probably felt that this threatened the chances of Bowies version in Italy. Instead of translating the lyrics of the original version Mogol wrote a love story about a young couple that meet on the top of a mountain, Ragazzo solo, ragazza sola meaning Lonely Boy, Lonely Girl. Enjoy
