The Riddle; Gigi D’Agostino

This song is a cover by the Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino for his third studio album released 1999 named “L’Amour Toujours”. The original melody and lyrics was composed by the English pop singer Nik Kershaw in 1984, but instead whistlings he put the sound of several flutes at the end of the song. So the only one that counts is the Gigi’s cover. However, there is below the original song and its music video:

Here with D’Agostino there is a new eletronic song full of whistlings! All along the entire song we can hear the original riff being whistled, very well whistled I have to say. It would be Gigi himself who whistles on it? I’d like to know...

I got two strong arms.
Blessings of Babylon time to carry on
and try for sins and false alarms
so to American the brave wise man save.

Near a tree by a river there’s a hole in the ground.
Where an old man of iron goes around and around.
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night.
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he’ll never never fight over you.

I got time to kill.
Sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours.
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill.
Thanks to the calling of the wild
wise men’s child.

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It’s not me you see.
Pieces of valentine
And just a song of mine.
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold.

Near a tree by a river there’s a hole in the ground.
Where an old man of iron goes around and around.
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night.
For a strange kind of fashion there’s a wrong and a right
But he'll never never fight over you.

I got time to kill.
Sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours.
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill.
Thanks to the calling of the wild
wise men’s child.
