La festa appena cominciata 
� già finita 
Il cielo non è più con noi 
Il nostro amore era l'invidia di chi è solo 
Era il mio orgoglio la tua allegria 

Ã? stato tanto grande e ormai 
Non sa morire 
Per questo canto e canto te 
La solitudine che tu mi hai regalato 
Io la coltivo come un fiore 

Chissà se finirà 
Se un nuovo sogno la mia mano prenderà 
Se a un'altra io dirò 
Le cose che dicevo a te 

Ma oggi devo dire che 
Ti voglio bene 
Per questo canto e canto te 
Ã? stato tanto grande e ormai non sa morire 
Per questo canto e canto te

He won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1968 with the song "Canzone per te", sung with Roberto Carlos. The same year he represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 with the song "Marianne."
