Matilda de Angelis is an Italian singer and actor.

This version of the song was on the soundtrack of 

the Film “Robbing Mussolini “. The film is a bit of

 a Farce and certainly not historical

Paint it Black was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

and released in 1966. It was a tremendous hit all over the world.

It is such a powerful song.

That same year 1966 Italian ” Caterina Caselli ” released a version

of the song. It was a Bullet to number One on Italian charts.

The song has been translated into sixteen different languages

around the world…all being a hit in their various countries.

Add to this … the extraordinary number of English language 

covers by various bands, again all over the world, and you 

begin to see the respect that this song has as driving beat.

Matilda’s version has a slightly different meaning in it’s words.

I added the English Translation of her lyrics below,

lyrics of the song (translated from Italian):

At night the starless sky is all black, the same (for) my heart till the last thought. My life, without you, has no colour any more: There is an eternal, desperate night inside me. The white walls of the room are black. Where is the light that renders the existence beautiful? Those who walk towards me in the streets look and don’t know that, for my sight, even the sun will be black. And, like a newborn baby looks for the world, I look for the love that I lost and am crying. How will I face life if I am missing you, if the white morning dawn I will see it in black? Of black ink has become the green sea since I came to know that you won’t ever be able to come back. Every day will always be the hour of the sunset. My world is black like the darkness is black. At night the starless sky is all black, the same (for) my heart till the last thought. My life, without you, has no colour any more: There is an eternal, desperate night inside me. Mm mm mm mm mm mm… And, like a newborn baby looks for the world, I look for the love that I lost and am crying. Mm mm mm mm mm mm….

If you ever wonder why they call the Rolling Stones 

the number one Rock and roll Band in the world…

Just listen
