About Solo

"Io che amo solo te" (Italian pronunciation: [ˈiːo ke ˈaːmo ˈsoːlo ˈte]; i.e. "I who love only you") is a song composed and performed by Sergio Endrigo and arranged by Luis Bacalov. One of Endrigo's major hits, the song was released in the summer of 1962 but became a success only at the end of year, eventually peaking at the second place on the Italian hit parade and selling over 650,000 copies. According to Endrigo, the song was inspired by his love for a secretary and both music and lyrics were composed in about twenty minutes. A hymn to pure love and to absolute fidelity, in 1974 the song was used by the "Vote Yes" Committee for the Italian divorce referendum. The song was later covered by several artists, including Mina, Ornella Vanoni, Gianna Nannini, Rita Pavone, Massimo Ranieri, Nicola Di Bari, Franco Simone, Marco Mengoni, Claudio Baglioni and Fiorella Mannoia. It also named a 2015 film, Io che amo solo te, where the song was covered by Alessandra Amoroso.

Lascia che sia 
Tutto così 
E il vento volava sul tuo foulard 
Avevi già 
Preso con te 
Le mani, le sere la tua allegria 
Non tagliare i tuoi capelli mai 
Mangia un po' di più che sei tutt'ossa 
E sul tavolo fra il thè e lo scontrino 
Ingoiavo pure questo addio

Lascia che sia 
Tutto così 
E il cielo sbiadiva dietro le gru 
No, non cambiare mai 
E abbi cura di te 
Della tua vita, del mondo che troverai
Cerca di non metterti nei guai 
Abbottonati il paltò per bene 
E fra i clacson delle auto e le campane 
Ripetevo "non ce l'ho con te" 
E non darti pena, sai, per me 
Mentre il fiato si faceva fumo 
Mi sembrava di crollare piano piano 
E tu piano piano andavi via 

E chissà se prima o poi 
Se tu avrai compreso mai 
Se ti sei voltata indietro
E chissà se prima o poi 
Se ogni tanto penserai 
Che son solo

E se adesso suono le canzoni 
Quelle stesse che tu amavi tanto 
Lei si siede accanto a me sorride e pensa 
Che le abbia dedicate a lei
E non sa di quando ti dicevo 
"Mangia un po' di più che sei tutt'ossa" 
Non sa delle nostre fantasie del primo giorno 
E di come te ne andasti via 

E chissà se prima o poi 
Se tu avrai compreso mai 
Se ti sei voltata indietro 

E chissà se prima o poi 
Se ogni tanto penserai 
Che io solo
Resto qui 
E canterò solo, camminerò solo, da solo continuerò
