The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Gigi" by Fabrizio Bosso.
Lyrics
ascoltavo un signore che aveva una voce cosi'
non capivo che lingua parlasse ma mi era simpatica
e riempiva la stanza di note e di poesia
tu eri li' con me che cercavi d’insegnarmela
ml dicevi hai le mani ancora piccole
ma che accordi complicati il Sud America
certo che a vedere te sembrava facile
era il tempo in cui cominciavo a sentire musica,
insieme a te.
Ti ricordi quella velina sopra il pettine
ci cantavo e venivano suoni un po' kasoo
tu suonavi Bill Evans dicendo quest’uomo e' un fenomeno certamente ma qui ce
n’e' un altro e sei proprio tu e stavi li' con me a giocare con la musica
e pensavo: la mia vita forse e' questa qui
ma tu giurami che un giorno suonero' cosi'
suoni cosi' bene che mi vien da ridere
era il tempo in cui cominciavo ad amar la musica
e amavo te.
Adesso sono grande. E' un bel lavoro fare musica
sempre in giro come adesso che sto a Napoli
se vedessi quanto affetto non lo immagini
e' una festa e poi sentissi come cantano
che sorpresa vederti arrivare ma un po' ti aspettavo siediti qui
Ma da quando tu sei partito non c’e' piu' musica
sta tranquillo lo so che col tempo mi passera'
scrivo molto ma quello che scrivo e' cosi malinconico
come questa canzone chissa' se ti piacera'
dimmi dove sei
suoni ancora ma per gli angeli
e ti siederanno intorno li farai cantare
suona forte cosi ti potro' sentire
noi quaggiu' col naso in su a capire cosa sia
sara' il tempo in cui finalmente farai il tuo concerto, anima mia
Lyrics translation
I was listening to a gentleman who had such a voice.
I didn't understand what language he spoke, but I liked him.
and filled the room with notes and poetry
you were there with me trying to teach me that.
you said your hands were still small.
but what complicated agreements South America
of course it seemed easy to see you
it was the time when I started to hear music,
with you.
Do you remember that tissue above the comb
I used to sing there and there were sounds a little kasoo
you were playing Bill Evans saying this man is a phenomenon of course but here's
there's another one, and it's just you, and you were sitting there with me playing music.
and I thought, maybe this is my life.
but you swear to me that one day I will sound like this
you sound so good, I'm laughing.
it was the time I started loving music
and I loved you.
I'm big now. It's a good job making music
always around like now I'm in Naples
if you could see how much affection you can't imagine
it's a party and then I could hear them sing
what a surprise to see you arrive but I was waiting for you sit here
But since you left, there's been no music.
don't worry, I know I'll get over it in time.
I write a lot, but what I write is so melancholy.
like this song Who knows 'if you'll like it'
tell me where you are
sounds still but for the Angels
and they will sit around you and you will make them sing
play loud so I can hear you
we're down here with our noses up to figure out what it is.
it will be the time when you will finally do your concert, my soul
