Hi Guys,
Anyone out there willing to translate this clip for us?

"The Moog ... British ... it's the business" is about all I got.
(British? I'm sure that was what it sounded like!)

Steve.

Predico che nel futuro ci sarĂ² un culto Mellotronists chiamato.
Adoreranno l'organo di wacky. Il loro dirigente culto, Sig. Smith
userĂ  il gas intestinale e la birra di controllare il gruppo.

Translation:
I predict that in the future, there I will be a cult religion
Mellotronists called. They will adore the organ of wacky. The
directing cult leader, Mr. Smith will use the intestinal gas and the
beer to control the group.

I have never heard the original Italian version from the album, Per un
Amico. I recall reading that Sinfield came up with new lyrics (no
translation). Makes me wonder what the original song was about. None
of the tracks on Per un Amico are titled Il Fiume Di Vita.

Orig.version entitled 'Appena un Poco', and sounds (IMHO) vastly better than Sinfield's string synth-heavy remix. Italian vocals are far less forced, it's a whole minute longer, and far more Mellotron!
