Gigi I'moroso - Dalida

Je vais vous raconter

Avant de vous quitter

L’histoire d’un p’tit village pres de Napoli

Nous etions quatre amis

Au bal tous les samedis

A jouer, a chanter toute la nuit

Giorgio a la guitare

Sandro a la mandoline

Moi je dansais en frappant du tambourin

Mais tous ceux qui venaient

C’etait pour ecouter

Celui qui faisait battre tous les coeurs

Et quand il arrivait

La foule s’ecriait

Arriva, Gigi l’Amoroso

Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse

Gigi l’Amoroso

Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans coeur

Mais jamais sans tendresse

Partout, c’etait la fete quand il chantait

Zaza, luna caprese o sole mio

Gigi Giuseppe

Mais tout le monde l’appelait Gigi l’Amour

Et les femmes etaient folles de lui, toutes

La femme du boulanger, qui fermait sa boutique tous les mardis pour aller…

La femme du notaire qui etait une sainte et qui n’vait jamais tromper son

mari auparavant

Et la veuve du colonel

La veuve du colonel qui ne porta plus le deuil parce qu’il n’aimait pas le noir

Toutes, je vous dis

Meme moi, mais moi, Gigi aimait trop sa liberte, jusqu’au jour ou Une riche americaine

A grands coups de je t’aime

Lui proposa d’aller jusqu’a Hollywood

Tu seras le plus beau

De tous les Caruzos

Lui disait-elle jusqu’a en perdre haleine

Nous voila a la gare

Avec tous nos mouchoirs

Le coeur serre, emus par ce grand depart

Pourtant on etait fier

Qu’il depasse nos frontieres

Gigi partait conquerir l’Amerique

Et quand il arriva

Le village etait la Arriva, Gigi l’Amoroso

Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse

Gigi l’Amoroso

Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans coeur

Mais jamais sans tendresse

Et la, devant la foule, il a chante

Zaza, luna caprese, o sole mio

Gigi, quand le train est disparu, nous sommes tous rentres chez nous

Et le lendemain, le village n’etait plus le meme

La femme du boulanger refusa d’allumer son four

La femme du notaire par desespoir pris plusieurs amants

Et la veuve du colonel ferma ses persiennes et reprit le deuil pour la seconde fois

Oui, le village avait bien change

Et moi

Les annees ont passe

Cinq hivers, cinq etes

No news, c’etait good news on nous avait dit

Il a fallu du temps

Du courage et du temps

Pour arriver a continuer sans lui

Et malgre son absence

La nuit dans le silence

En pliant nos costumes et nos instruments

On entendait venir

Comme une larme un soupir

Du fond de la salle cette melodie

Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse

Gigi, Gigi, c’est toi la-bas dans le noir

Attends, laisse-moi te regarder

Mais tu pleures

Tu pleures Gigi

Ca n’a pas ete la-bas, hein

Et alors, et alors qu’est ce qu’ils comprennent ces Americains a part le rock

et le twist, hein

Ma Gigi, qu’est-ce que tu croyais, devenir comme ca Gigi l’Americano

E invece no, tu sei Giuseppe Frabrizio Luca Santini

Et tu es Nappolitain

Ecoute, Giorgio s’est mis a la guitare

Attends, Sandro est la aussi

Mais, mais tu ne peux pas t’en aller comme ca Ici tu es chez toi

Ici tu es le roi

Tu entends, tu les entends Gigi

Ils sont tous la Ils ont du te reconnaitre a la gare

Chante Gigi, chante, c’est ton public

Chante pour eux, chante pour moi qui n’ai jamais su te parler

Oui, vas-y, bravo Gigi, chante

Arriva, Gigi l’Amoroso

Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse

Gigi l’Amoroso

Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans coeur

Mais jamais sans tendresse

Partout, c’etait la fete quand il chantait

Zaza, luna caprese, o sole mio

Arriva, Gigi l’Amoroso

Croqueur d’amour, l’oeil de velours comme une caresse

Gigi l’Amoroso

Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans coeur

Mais jamais sans tendresse

Partout, c’etait la fete quand il chantait

Zaza, luna caprese, o sole mio

I'll tell you

Before you leave

The story of a small village near Napoli

We were four friends

At the ball every Saturday

Playing, singing all night

Giorgio on guitar

Sandro on the mandolin

Me I was dancing hitting the tambourine

But everyone who came

It was to listen

The one who made all hearts beat

And when he arrived

The crowd cried

Arriva, Gigi the Amoroso

Love cruncher, velvet eye like a caress

Gigi the Amoroso

Always winning, sometimes heartless

But never without tenderness

Everywhere it was a party when he sang

Zaza, luna caprese o sole mio

Gigi Giuseppe

But everyone called her Gigi Love

And the women were crazy about him, all

The baker's wife, who closed her shop every Tuesday to go...

The notary's wife who was a saint and who was never going to cheat on her

previously husband

And the colonel's widow

The colonel's widow who no longer mourned because he didn't like black

All I tell you

Me, but me, Gigi loved her freedom too much, until the day when A rich American

With great blows of I love you

Told him to go to Hollywood

You will be the most beautiful

Of all the Caruzos

She told him until she lost her breath

Here we are at the station

With all our handkerchiefs

The heart sinks, moved by this great departure

Yet we were proud

That it goes beyond our borders

Gigi was leaving to conquer America

And when he arrived

The village was the Arriva, Gigi the Amoroso

Love cruncher, velvet eye like a caress

Gigi the Amoroso

Always winning, sometimes heartless

But never without tenderness

And there, in front of the crowd, he sang

Zaza, luna caprese, o sole mio

Gigi, when the train disappeared, we all went home

And the next day the village wasn't the same

The baker's wife refused to light her oven

The notary's wife out of desperation took several lovers

And the colonel's widow closed her blinds and resumed mourning for the second time

Yes, the village had changed a lot

And me

The years have passed

Five winters, five summers

No news, it was good news we were told

It took time

Courage and Time

To get on without him

And despite his absence

The night in silence

By folding our costumes and our instruments

We heard coming

Like a tear a sigh

From the back of the room this melody

Love cruncher, velvet eye like a caress

Gigi, Gigi, that's you over there in the dark

Wait, let me look at you

But you cry

You cry Gigi

It was not there, eh

So what do they understand these Americans but rock

and the twist, huh

My Gigi, what did you think, become like that Gigi the Americano

E invece no, tu sei Giuseppe Frabrizio Luca Santini

And you are Neapolitan

Listen, Giorgio took up the guitar

Wait, Sandro is here too

But, but you can't just walk away Here you are at home

Here you are the king

You hear, you hear them Gigi

They're all there They must have recognized you at the station

Sing Gigi, sing, it's your audience

Sing for them, sing for me who never knew how to talk to you

Yes, go ahead, well done Gigi, sing

Arriva, Gigi the Amoroso

Love cruncher, velvet eye like a caress

Gigi the Amoroso

Always winning, sometimes heartless

But never without tenderness

Everywhere it was a party when he sang

Zaza, luna caprese, o sole mio

Arriva, Gigi the Amoroso

Love cruncher, velvet eye like a caress

Gigi the Amoroso

Always winning, sometimes heartless

But never without tenderness

Everywhere it was a party when he sang

Zaza, luna caprese, o sole mio
