Gigi L'amoroso

Where the sun always shines
Everyone is happy there
Like in a small village near Napoli
And we were four, having fun every evening
We played every song with heart and soul
Giorgo on the guitar, Sandro on the mandolin
I danced and happily played the tambourine
But there was only one who sang like no other
The stars from the sky one by one
And wherever he appeared
Everyone always sang
Go ahead and sing

Gigi the lover
A sultry look that melts every woman's heart
Gigi the lover
A golden voice and so charming
He can seduce anyone
And wherever he sang, there was a party
Zanzar, l'Una Caprese O Sole Mio

Gigi Giuseppe but everyone called him Gigi the lover
All women were crazy about him
The baker's wife who closed her shop every Tuesday to quickly
The notary's wife who you could almost declare holy and who would never cheat on her husband
And the colonel's widow, oh, the colonel's widow didn't even mourn anymore
Because Gigi didn't like black
Everyone had to succumb, even I, yes, even I
Until the day that

She came from Hollywood and was very rich
She said: I love you and I'll take you with me
I'll make you a star, and you'll be number one
And Gigi was dazzled and didn't say no
Everyone was so proud of that boy from here
But at the farewell, there was only sadness
The whole village was in mourning and not a single woman
Could hold back her tears when he left
They all begged, I don't want you to go
Please stay

Gigi the lover
A sultry look that melts every woman's heart
Gigi the lover
A golden voice and so charming
He can seduce anyone
And wherever he sang, there was a party
Zanzar, l'Una Caprese O Sole Mio

Once Gigi left, the village was never the same
All the music and joy had disappeared
The baker's wife was too sad to sell bread
And the colonel's widow had driven all color from her life and wore mourning clothes again
Oh, everything had changed, even I
Years went by, no one was truly happy anymore
Everyone wondered, how was Gigi
Every night was so quiet and the days so cold
The longing could sometimes be so unbearable
Why didn't he write a letter, why did they hear nothing
No news, they told themselves that no news is good news
Where was that beautiful smile and those gentle eyes
The arms where everyone lost themselves

A golden voice and so charming
My God, where are you?

Gigi Gigi, is it really you? Wait! Stop
I can hardly believe it
But you're crying. You're crying, Gigi
So it didn't work out there?
Oh, those Americans don't understand anything about beautiful music
Dear Gigi, no, you're Giuseppe Fabrizio Luca Santini
And you're Neapolitan
Listen, Giorgio is playing the guitar again. Wait, Gigi, stay
Sandro is here too. You can't just leave like that
Here you are at home, here is your life

Go ahead and sing again

Do you hear that? Do you hear them, Gigi?
Here is your audience. They're all here, everyone is happy to see you again
Gigi, go ahead and sing, Gigi
Sing for us
Sing for me who missed you so much

Gigi the lover
A sultry look that melts every woman's heart
Gigi the lover
A golden voice and so charming
He can seduce anyone
And wherever he sang, there was a party
Zanzar, l'Una Caprese. O Sole Mio
