umbertino Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Have been loving his songs for decades There's a festival here in Italy in his name looking for, selecting and awarding quality artists every year One of the best songwriters this country has ever had...JMHO Quando la sera me ne torno a casa When I come home in the evening non ho neanche voglia di parlare I'm not even in the mood to talk tu non guardarmi con quella tenerezza Don't look at me with that tenderness come fossi un bambino che ritorna deluso like a child that comes back disappointed si lo so che questa non è certo la vita Yes, I know this surely ain't the life che hai sognato un giorno per noi you once dreamed about for us vedrai, vedrai you'll see, you'll see vedrai che cambierà you'll see it will change forse non sarà domani maybe not tomorrow ma un bel giorno cambierà but someday it will change vedrai, vedrai you'll see, you'll see non son finito sai I am not done here, you know non so dirti come e quando I don't know how or when ma vedrai che cambierà but you'll see it will change preferirei sapere che piangi I'd rather know you're crying che mi rimproveri di averti delusa than to reproach me that I've let you down e non vederti sempre così dolce and not to see you this sweet again accettare da me tutto quello che viene accepting anything coming from me mi fa disperare il pensiero di te I get crazy thinking of you e di me che non so darti di più and thinking that I don't know how to give you more vedrai, vedrai you'll see, you'll see vedrai che cambierà you'll see it will change forse non sarà domani maybe not tomorrow ma un bel giorno cambierà but someday it will change vedrai, vedrai you'll see, you'll see no, non son finito sai no, I'm not done here non so dirti come e quando I don't know how or when ma un bel giorno cambierà. but someday it will change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Tenco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Special ( at least to me) song & lyrics ...Despite the enormous desperation it exudes........To some people life can indeed be (too) hard at times ...I do understand ( and respect) that Incredibly modern and profound ....Even though it was written in 1966...Many Italian artists rec'd versions of it but this is the original...... Perry Como made an English rendition of this one To me one of the most special Italian songs of all time.... I'd say this one is likely (imho) his most intense song emotionally A day after another One day after another time goes by the streets are always the same, the same houses. One day after another and everything is as before one step after another, the same life. And the eyes looking around for that future they dreamed of but dreams are still dreams and the future is now almost past. One day after another life goes by tomorrow will be a day like yesterday. The ship has already left the port and from the shore it seems a distant point someone again this evening goes slowly back home disappointed . One day after another life goes by and hope by now is a habit. umb's note...And yes it does move me...Very much so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Far away Far away in time Something In the eyes of another will make you rethink of my eyes My eyes that loved you so much And far away in the world In a smile On the lips of another You will find that shyness of mine for which you'd make fun of me a little Would hold a little 'around And far away in time The casual expression On a face will make you remember my face That sad expression that you loved so much And far away in the world One evening you will be with another And suddenly who knows how and why You'll find yourself talking to him about me Of a love by now too far away His was a tormented life....He killed himself in the end...Some said he got killed To me it's indeed a honor to play his music and try to make him known to non-Italians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 He used to have a profound and tormented face expression...The way his life was..... I Fell In Love With You I fell in love with you because I had nothing to do the day I wanted to meet someone the night I wanted to dream someone I fell in love with you because I could not be alone anymore the day I wanted to talk about my dreams the night wanted to talk about love And now that I'd have a thousand things to do I feel my dreams fading away but I do not know what to think anymore other than of you I fell in love with you and now I do not even know what to do myself the day I regret that I met you the night I come looking for you Back then (60's)...His committed lyrics were totally different from the usual silly & stupid tunes & song lyrics of the time ( at least here in Italy)...So he was not understood nor appreciated...He was too ahead of his time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
