Wonderful song by the great Italian Singer Peppino Gagliardi.
A little about him.
Born in Naples in 1940, Peppino Gagliardi achieved his first success in 1963 with "T'amo e t'amerò" ("I love you and will love you"). Later on he took part in the festival of San Remo several times during the 60's and the early 70's, and in 1965 he also starred in the TV movie "008 Operazione ritmo", featuring Gianni Morandi, Bobby Solo and other popular artists of that time. Most of Gagliardi's songs, characterized by an intense romantic atmosphere and reminding Neapolitanian tradition,were composed by the singer himself with co-writer Amendola. His particular style of performing gained him the nickname "The Italian Aznavour".
He achieved two-second placings at the Sanremo Music Festival: in 1972 with "Come le viole" and in 1972 with "Come un ragazzino". His music declined in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. His last entry at the Sanremo Music Festival was "L'alba" in 1993.

One of his songs, "Che vuole questa musica stasera", is part of the original soundtrack of Scent of a Woman by Dino Risi, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. by Guy Ritchie and The Ruthless by Renato De Maria.



Lyrics of the song translated by Google.
You were the one for me—
alone and only mine.
I felt only you.
I spoke only to you.
There was no wind to carry you away.

You were my poetry—you were my poetry.

A poet, a poet,
a poet I felt myself with you.
And I sang the most beautiful things—
the greatest and sweetest things for you.

I spoke to the moon—
I spoke to the stars—
to everything about you.
And the most beautiful dreams in the world
in the depths of your eyes—
I searched for them with you.

A poet, a poet,
a poet I felt myself with you,
and I sang the most beautiful things—
the greatest and sweetest things for you—
to your genius, to your genius.

You were a poem, my poetry...
...to your genius, to your genius.
You were a poem, my poetry—
you were a poem, my poetry—
you were a poem, my poetry...
