Привет иэ Белграда!
I’m new here... I have studied Russian at high school, I was happy to finally be able to read Есенин in original! I understand this language more than I can speak, I hope to improve that with you!
I’ve been translating this 8 minutes tv report for fans on Patrizio Buanne’s forum, and I thought I would ask someone for the oppinion as I am mostly intrigued by several words and phrases! So I came up to this site on Google!
Parts that I’m not quite (or at all) sure about I put in bold text. It is a humorous story, I’m sure you will enjoy it!!!))
Anyway, I’ll be seeing you around!
Спасибо!!!

MY TRANSLATION...
...... ... ....
After the break, about the voice that sings of love!
The countryman of Pavarotti and Celentano, one more star has appeared – Patrizio Buanne. He is only 26, and in Italy is already called the national hero. Only in Naples there are more than 30 of his fan clubs organised, and similar registered organisations in USA, Mexico, Toronto are the proof of international recognition. Mister Buanne triumphs ”My first international tour, the promotion of my album The Italian, was a whirling success and everywhere people were thanking me for bringing back good old schlagers of the sixties.” Wonderful time that was, the time of romantics. Enchanted with classic, Patrizio Buanne, in the history of Ivan Kanavaljcov.
(Il Mondo starts...)
Sweet-voiced bird of some other youth, hot blooded, old time elegancy. No torn trousers, no hard rythm, no bitter lyrics... Complete retro schick with Italian accent. Where did he come from anyway, that Patrizio Buanne!? How can naphthalened oeuvre of the sixties be popular at the beginning of the 21st century at all!? The world’s music press is in dilemma, but he doesn’t sleep. During the last month only, young singer gave interviews to 15 heavy magazines, 8 radio stations and 3 tv channels. Ratings are increasing.
“I only do what I love and I’m glad people like it! If I see that nobody needs me any more I will go back to Naples and work in the pizzeria of my parents. They love Italian romantic songs, old American musicals... They say they enjoy cooking for people as much as to sing for them! I remember how long ago dad would join visitors to amuse them, at those days restaurant was overfilled with people, the two of us struggling with all the orders. Now I seldom go home, but homeland lives within me in memories of my childhood.”
Three tickets in economy class on airplane Naples – Vienna, and a big basket with bread, cheese and tomatoes... Fifteen years ago parents told to Patrizio they’re taking him to study music. As little Pat’s was best at making pizza, Maria and Salvatore had chosen music and taste. However, hardly that the city of Strauss attracted them for its musical culture only, the licence to open a restaurant was the main reason of this visit. As they say, voice is voice and, business is business.
“I could have studied in Naples, Rome, Milano, but someone said to dad that in Austria one could make a business on Italian exotics. He believed it and moved our business across the border. Luckily, dad estimated well! Soon after we had so many clients that we couldn’t take a break. Teachers from conservatorium where I studied also were coming. My school-master suggested that I should take part at international contest of young talents. I sang one of the Neapolitan romantic songs and won. I didn’t have the least idea of what proposition would come out of that event!”
85000 spectators came to meet the Roman Pope, and the performance for the pontificate during his stay in Warsaw was the main prize of the contest that Patrizio Buanne had won. Polish producers asked him “What would you like to sing in honour of Pope John Paul II?” “Every time I listen to ‘Parla Piu Piano’ I cry” said the trembling youngster and sang... “Divine melody!” agreed Polish, Pope will surely be pleased! It was not until during the concert that Slavic brothers realized what a mess they had done! The “divine melody” turned out to be the main theme of Francis Ford Coppola’s movie ‘The Godfather’. Thank goodness, father of the Roman Catholic Church had never seen his bloody work. Impropriate allegory could have easily end career of all participants of the performance. That’s why today this song is the gem of the repertoire of Patrizio Buanne.
“I’ve always wanted to be a singer, but once I almost obandoned that road. My uncle is a producer at Italian television and once he suggested I should host a music program in the style of 60s. I was aware that I’ve never done anything alike, but I couldn’t resist the challange! It was a nightmare. It turned out that to sing well and to talk well is not the same. But I had to dedicate to something, and work. After half a year I somehow got into the thing, and even had somewhat rating, but that was torment. Even my uncle said he overestimated both his and mine possibilities. So at the ending of the contract he sugested I should record an album. Even then he wan’t dissapointed in me!”
Yes, it went wrong for this fellow and uncle, but there were no hard feelings. It wasn’t his failure alone anyway... actually, nor did producer of sound at legendary Abbey Road studios in London think it was. He worked there with The Beatles, and knew well what it takes for good music. The voice, the skill, the repertoire. All in style of golden era of show business. Romantic sixties, mixed with aromas from dad’s pizza - album The Italian became one of the rare ...???
The best debut it had last year in Austria, England, Spain, France and, naturally, Italy.
On the wave of popularity of their son, his parents opened another pizzeria in Naples. Who would have missed such a promotion! Nowdays one can stay at the Buanne corporation only with reservations made, and don’t hope you will manage that when after his international tour, to Italy flies Patrizio! A peaceful restaurant transforms into a special service! Just as back in good old times numerous relatives gather at the table and start a loud Italian dinner party, singing and dancing till dawn... Because business is business, and family is sacred, as old Salvatore had always tought his son. Classical upbringing, and what’s the result?
