Gigi - Fabrizio Bosso, Julian Oliver Mazzariello, Fabio Concato

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

I listened to a gentleman who had a voice like this

I didn't understand what language she spoke but I liked her

And he filled the room with notes and poetry

You were there with me trying to teach it to me

Ml you said you still have small hands

But what complicated arrangements in South America

Of course it seemed easy to see you

It was the time I started hearing music

With you

You remember that tissue over the comb

I sang to it and some kasoo sounds came

You played Bill Evans saying this man is certainly a phenomenon but here he is

There is another and it is you

And you were there with me playing to the music

And I thought: maybe my life is this here

But you swear to me that someday I'll play like that

You sound so good it makes me laugh

It was the time when I began to love music

And I loved you

I'm big now.

It's a good job to make music

Always around like now that I'm in Naples

If you saw how much affection you wouldn't imagine

It's a party and then you hear how they sing

What a surprise to see you arrive but I was waiting for you to sit here

But since you left there is no more music

Don't worry, I know that in time it will pass me

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

You still play but for the angels

And they'll sit around you and make them sing

Sounds loud so I can hear you

We down here with our noses up to understand what it is

It will be the time when you finally do your concert, my soul
