Deciphering unknown languages with Michele Gorini

Just like the two other blogs, this blog will also have an index. I don't think it'll ever have a spoiler, because these analyses are unplanned, and even if there are some I'd like to post, I definitely won't plan an order for them. At the moment, i.e. as of posting the index, there are only two posts, and the blog was opened less than a month ago.

I remember seeing its lyrics in the songbook as far back as summer 2010, when I realized there was a verse 3 which apparently didn't fit the tune I knew. Considering that, as my video of the song shows, the tune changes drastically from verse 2 to verse 3, that is no surprise. Anyway, fast forward to Saturday, Sep 21 2019. I told this bit of the story in the other post: travelling back to L'Aquila, where I study, with my parents, who were coming to the SIF meeting that was to be held the following week, and the song somehow came up in our conversation.
