Il Pescatore

About Il Pescatore

Il pescatore ["The fisherman"] is a song by Fabrizio De André, with lyrics by himself and music by composers Gian Piero Reverberi and Franco Zauli. Backed with "Marcia nuziale", De André's translation of by Georges Brassens's 1957 song "La marche nuptiale", it was released in 1970 by the Italian branch of Liberty Records as a standalone single, De André's first of only two such releases in his career. Upon release, the song became popular among De André's fan base, although it did not have any significant impact on Italian charts. Its popularity was significantly boosted by a 1979 live remake, with PFM backing De André in a new rock arrangement. more »

All’ombra dell’ultimo sole 
S’era assopito un pescatore 
E aveva un solco lungo il viso
Come una specie di sorriso

Venne alla spiaggia un assassino
Due occhi grandi da bambino
Due occhi enormi di paura
Eran gli specchi di un’avventura

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

E chiese al vecchio ‘Dammi il pane
Ho poco tempo e troppa fame’
E chiese al vecchio ‘Dammi il vino
Ho sete e sono un assassino’

Gli occhi dischiuse il vecchio al giorno
Non si guardò neppure intorno
Ma versò il vino e spezzò il pane 
Per chi diceva ‘Ho sete, ho fame’

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

E fu il calore di un momento
Poi via di nouvo verso il vento
Davanti agli occhi ancora il sole
Dietro le spalle un pescatore

Dietro le spalle un pescatore
E la memoria è già dolore
È già il rimpianto di un aprile
Giocato all’ombra di un cortile

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Vennero in sella due gendarmi
Vennero in sella con le armi
Chiesero al vecchio se lì vicino 
Fosse passato un assassino

Ma all’ombra dell’ultimo sole 
S’era assopito il pescatore 
E aveva un solco lungo il viso
Come una specie di sorriso

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Fabrizio De André

Fabrizio Cristiano De André (18 February 1940 - 11 January 1999) was an Italian singer-songwriter. Known for his sympathies towards anarchism, libertarism and pacifism, his songs often featured marginalized and rebellious people, gypsies, prostitutes and knaves, and attacked the Catholic Church hierarchy hypocrisies. Artistically active for almost 40 years and the author of thirteen studio albums, he is renowned for the quality of his lyrics and often considered a poet. He contributed to the valorization of the languages of Italy, most notably Ligurian and, to a lesser extent, Sardinian, Gallurese and Neapolitan. Following his early death several streets, places, parks, schools and public libraries were named after him. more »
