One of the most popular Italian singers all over the world of the last 30 years, Eros Ramazzotti (Roma, 1963) started playing guitar at 7, and as a teenager, he began writing songs with the help of his father Rodolfo. He tried to attend a music conservatory but failed the admission test. After a few years, his career breakthrough came right from Sanremo stage, back in 1984, when he won the music festival in the “Newcomers” category with the song “Terra Promessa“.
Since then, he has sold something like over 50 million records, gained fame in most non-English speaking countries in Europe and in the Latin America, as he has released most of his albums both in Italian and Spanish language.
From the Sanremo Music Festival in 1985, a 21 y.o. Ramazzotti performs his first big hit selling over a million copies, “Una storia importante“. It went to #1 spot in the Italian singles chart and #2 in the French one. It is included in his first studio album “Cuori agitati” and also in a new version in his greatest hits compilation “Eros” in 1997.
Lyrics
Quante scuse ho inventato io
pur di fare sempre a modo mio
evitare cosi’
una storia importante
non volevo cosi’
ritrovarmi gia’ grande.
Quanta gente ho incontrato io
quante storie, quante compagnie
ora voglio di piu’
una storia importante
quello che sei tu
forse sei tu…
Fermati un istante
parla chiaro
come non hai fatto mai
dimmi un po’ chi sei…
non riesco a liberarmi
questa vita mi disturba, sai
come ti vorrei
quanto ti vorrei…
Apro le mie mani per riceverti,
(ma un pensiero mi porta via)
mentre tu le chiudi per difenderti,
(la tua paura e’ anche un po’ la mia)
Forse noi dobbiamo ancora crescere,
forse e’ un alibi, e’ una bugia
se ti cerco ti nascondi, poi ritorni…
Fermati un istante
parla chiaro
metti gli occhi dentro i miei
come ti vorrei
non riesco a liberarmi
questa vita mi disturba, sai
come ti vorrei
quanto ti vorrei…
come ti vorrei
quanto ti vorrei…
