Biography

Italian songwriter, composer, guitarist, writer, and activist born February 18, 1940, in Genova Pegli and died January 11, 1999, in Milan (from lung cancer, diagnosed the year before). He started writing songs in 1960 ("La Ballata di Michè", composed with [a2450529] was his first song), heavily influenced by French songwriters like [a278663]. In 1962, he married Enrica “Puny” Rignon, and his son [a=Cristiano De André] was born. Encouraged by friends, including [a319978], he began to perform in public in Genova, and between 1963 and 1966, the label [l43240] released some singles that were collected in [Link] in 1966. However, success did not come suddenly, and De Andrè seriously thought about leaving his musical career to work in his father's law firm until 1968, when [a319972] recorded "La Canzone di Marinella", which became a great success. From that moment on, he became one of the most appreciated Italian songwriters. In 1974, he met [a=Dori Ghezzi], with whom he had a daughter ([a1301851] (1977)), and established the label [l116194] (1980). Since the 1980's, De Andrè has also sung using dialects like Genova's, the dialect of Gallura (northern Sardinia), and Neapolitan.

LYRICS

In un vortice di polvere gli altri vedevan siccità
A me ricordava la gonna di Jenny
In un ballo di tanti anni fa
Sentivo la mia terra vibrare di suoni, era il mio cuore
E allora perché coltivarla ancora
Come pensarla migliore

Libertà l'ho vista dormire nei campi coltivati
A cielo e denaro, a cielo ed amore
Protetta da un filo spinato

Libertà l'ho vista svegliarsi ogni volta che ho suonato
Per un fruscio di ragazze a un ballo
Per un compagno ubriaco

E poi se la gente sa e la gente lo sa che sai suonare
Suonare ti tocca per tutta la vita
E ti piace lasciarti ascoltare

Finii con i campi alle ortiche, finii con un flauto spezzato
E un ridere rauco, ricordi tanti
E nemmeno un rimpianto
