ALTERNATE DIALOGUE in AoD

Eugenio Finardi-Amami Lara Sanremo 1999

Hey there! Litfiba wasn’t the only Italian group who dedicated a song to our very favorite action heroine. There’s also this guy here, Eugenio Finardi, who, back in 1999 (yeah, just a while back) decided to write “Amami Lara” (Love me Lara) on the occasion of Sanremo, the most important song festival here in Italy. This one was a whole lot harder to translate so bare with me and enjoy the video! Fun fact: he wrote the song while watching his son playing Tomb raider as inspiration.

TRANSLATION 

Lara...fights on her own against the entire world,

She tries to feel it more realistic,

Lara wants to get to the bottom of everything.

Alone, lost in her own labyrinth,

She doesn’t know I can see her well,

She doesn’t know I’d like to tell her :

Love me Lara,

Love me some more,

Look into me just a moment,

Stop for a while, get out of the game,

Let me lend you a hand, don’t start all over again,

Give me a minute, let me save.

I believe in love’s strenght,

I demand more respect and attention,

But in the eyes of others,

All I see  is disappointment.

What I feel means nothing,

It’s just a dream, an illusion.

Love me Lara,

Love me some more,

Look into me just a moment,

Stop for a while, get out of the game,

Let me lend you a hand, don’t start all over again,

Give me a minute, let me save.

Alone in the indifference of time,

On the hunt for everything yet nothing remains,

Change modern ideals’s perspective,

All anorexic sentimentalists.

She doesn’t know I can see her well,

She doesn’t know I’d like to tell her :

Love me Lara,

Love me some more,

Look into me just a moment,

Stop for a while, get out of the game,

Let me lend you a hand, don’t start all over again,

Give me a minute, let me save.

Litfiba - Larasong (videoclip ufficiale)

I believe not many people know about this and that’s why I felt the need to address  it. This song was published back in 2003 , written by an Italian band named “Litfiba” to advertise the release of TR: AoD, which is the reason it contains videoclips from the game. Being a native Italian speaker I took the freedom to translate just for the fun of it. May not be 100% accurate but this is the best I could come up with. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

 TRANSLATION

Who knows if it’s me playing you,

Or if It’s you,you,you,you, who’s playing me.

You’re in trouble now and everything turns against you,

This time you’re on the run, fighting for the truth.

You’ll face ancient and weird looking creatures,

Hidden in the dark, among enigmas, signs and prophecies.

Here comes the Angel of Darkness,

(The Angel of Darkness)

A brand new identity,

Hallucination or reality?

(Who are You?)

Beyond the darkness You’ll uncover the truth.

Prejudice will fall upon your shoulders,

Accept this reality,

Doubting makes you fragile.

You’ll lose sight of yourself,

Looking for your true self,

And You will find your inner self once again.

Here comes the Angel of Darkness,

(The Angel of Darkness)

A brand new identity,

Hallucination or reality?

(Who are You?)

Beyond the darkness You’ll uncover the truth.  

Think about who You are (x3),

(Yes, You Know it!)

Think about who You are (x2)

Here comes the Angel of Darkness,

A brand new identity.

Who knows if it’s me playing you,
