Paolo Conte

Paolo Conte (born January 6, 1937) is an Italian singer, pianist, composer, and lawyer notable for his grainy, resonant voice, his colourful and dreamy compositions (evocative of Italian and Mediterranean sounds, as well as of jazz music, South American atmospheres, and of French-language singers like Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens) and his wistful, sometimes melancholic lyrics. more »

È un macaco senza storia
Dice lei di lui

Che gli manca la memoria 
In fondo ai guanti bui… 

Ma il suo sguardo è una veranda
Tempo al tempo e lo vedrai
Che si addentra nella giungla
No, non incontrarlo mai… 

Ho guardato in fondo al gioco 
Tutto qui, ma sai 

Sono un vecchio sparring partner 
E non l'ho visto mai 

Una calma più tigrata
Più segreta di così

Prendi il primo pullmann, via… 
Tutto il reso è già poesia… 

Avrà più di quarant'anni 
E certi applausi ormai 

Son dovuti per amore
Non incontrarlo mai… 

Stava lì nel suo sorriso 
A guardar passare i tram
Vecchia pista da elefanti 
Stesa sopra al macadàm…
