Mia Cara,is another wonderful song by the great Italian singer Peppino Gagliardi.
I wrote a lot about him before,but here is a little more.
Italian cantautore, a smooth, romantic balladeer, primarily in his native 'nnapuletano' dialect. Gagliardi was born in the Vasto district of Naples and became immensely popular throughout Italy in the 1960s and 70s. A gifted musician from childhood, influenced by both French and American songwriters, he first played the traditional accordion before switching to guitar and piano to accompany his singing. Most of his lyrics were written by Gaetano Amendola, including those of his first major hit, "T'amo e t'amerò" in 1963. Gagliardi achieved the height of his success in the early and mid-70s with songs like "Settembre", "Gocce di Mare", "Sempre", "Ti amo così", Che vuole questa musica stasera " (featured in, among other films, Guy Ritchie's Shem Cod M.A.L.'A.K.H. (2015)), "Povero Core", "Innamorarmi di te" and "Taggio perduta". Two of his songs ranked second at the San Remo Festival in 1972: "Come le viole" and ""Come un ragazzino". He was also featured in the Italian pop musical Altissima pressione (1965), alongside other popular vocalists of the era, such as Françoise Hardy, Nicola Di Bari and Gianni Morandi.
Lyrics of the song Translated by Google.
Peppino Gagliardi
My dear
My dear,
Sometimes I wonder
What were you to me:
A dream, an illusion,
A stupid reality;
But then
I remember
The scent of an evening
It's a song
And I say life is nothing,
If only for pride
I don't have you anymore.
My dear,
I could tell you now
You cry?
Crying makes you beautiful
More than ever,
But don't cry.
Smile like then,
As always,
Brighten your face
Thinking of me.
To me,
That now I'm alone
With my loneliness,
There's nothing left now
Of everything I had.
I loved you,
I had you,
The world in your hands
Which now tighten the void
Around me.
The things never said,
I would make you understand
Which deep down I believed
That it was more important
An easy present
And a happy tomorrow
With you.
Meanwhile the dust of time
That falls on me
It makes me live
In a sea of dreams
And they are all memories of you.
What are you doing?
