SE TELEFONANDO

Lo stupore della notte
spalancata sul mar
ci sorprese che eravamo
sconosciuti io e te.

Poi nel buio le tue mani
d'improvviso sulle mie,
è cresciuto troppo in fretta
questo nostro amor.

Se telefonando
io (potere)_____________ dirti addio
ti (chiamare)_____________ .
Se io rivedendoti (essere)_____________ certa
che non soffri ti (rivedere) _____________
Se guardandoti negli occhi (sapere)_____________
dirti basta ti (guardare) _____________ .

Ma non so spiegarti che
il nostro amore appena nato
è già finito.

Se telefonando io(potere)_____________
dirti addioti (chiamare)_____________ .
Se io rivedendoti(essere)_____________ certa

It’s Jovanotti’s “ORA”


Jovanotti is back, with his brand new album: Ora.
The album has been previously anticipated by the hit single "Tutto l'amore che ho" (All the love I have).

In Ora the 15 tracks are mostly dance, a return to the origins of Jovanotti’s career. Lorenzo Cherubini, a. k. a. Jovanotti, lost his mother about 2 months ago, and for him the album helped him cope with the event: “This album in some way compensated the sadness of the experience. I was going back and forth between the hospital and the recording studio. While in the hospital I would ‘entertain’ the patients and so I thought: I want to create an album that makes people feel better. I dedicate it to my mom. She was proud of me and she liked funny and joyful songs”.
