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

Via del Campo c'è una graziosa
gli occhi grandi color di foglia
tutta notte sta sulla soglia
vende a tutti la stessa rosa.
Via del Campo c'è una bambina
con le labbra color rugiada
gli occhi grigi come la strada
nascon fiori dove cammina.

Via del Campo c'è una puttana
gli occhi grandi color di foglia
se di amarla ti vien la voglia
basta prenderla per la mano

e ti sembra di andar lontano
lei ti guarda con un sorriso
non credevi che il paradiso
fosse solo lì al primo piano.

Via del Campo ci va un illuso
a pregarla di maritare
a vederla salir le scale
fino a quando il balcone ha chiuso.

Ama e ridi se amor risponde
piangi forte se non ti sente
dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior
dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior.
