Текст и перевод песни Dalida - Gigi l'amoroso (French Version)

Gigi l'amoroso (French Version)

Je vais vous raconter
Avant de vous quitter
L'histoire d'un p'tit village près de Napoli
Nous étions quatre amis
Au bal tous les samedis
À jouer, à chanter toute la nuit

Giorgio à la guitare
Sandro à la mandoline
Moi, je dansais en frappant du tambourin
Mais tous ceux qui venaient
C'était pour écouter
Celui qui faisait battre tous les cœurs
Et quand il arrivait
La foule s'écriait

Arriva Gigi L'Amoroso!
Croqueur d'amour, l'œil de velours comme une caresse
Gigi L'Amoroso
Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans cœur
Mais jamais sans tendresse
Partout c'était la fête quand il chantait
Zaza, Luna caprese, O' sole mio

Arriva

Gigi! Giuseppe, mais tout le monde l'appelait Gigi L'Amour
Et les femmes étaient folles de lui, toutes
La femme du boulanger qui fermait sa boutique tous les mardis pour aller
La femme du notaire qui était une sainte et qui n'avait jamais trompé son mari auparavant
Et la veuve du Colonel, la veuve du Colonel qui ne porta plus de deuil parce qu'il n'aimait pas le noir
Toutes je vous dis!
Même moi!
Mais moi
Gigi aimait trop sa liberté
Jusqu'au jour où

Une riche américaine
À grands coups de "je t'aime"
Lui proposa d'aller jusqu'à Hollywood
"Tu seras le plus beau de tous les Caruso"
Lui disait-elle jusqu'à en perdre haleine
Nous voilà à la gare
Avec tous nos mouchoirs
Le cœur serré émus par ce grand départ
Pourtant on était fiers
Qu'il dépasse nos frontières
Gigi partait conquérir l'Amérique
Et quand il arriva
Le village était là

Arriva Gigi L'Amoroso!
Croqueur d'amour, l'œil de velours comme une caresse
Gigi L'Amoroso
Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans cœur
Mais jamais sans tendresse
Et là, devant la foule il a chanté
Zaza, Luna caprese, O' sole mio

Arriva Gigi L'Amoroso!

Gigi! Quand le train eut disparu, nous sommes tous rentrés chez nous
Et le lendemain le village n'était plus le même
La femme du boulanger refusa d'allumer son four
La femme du notaire, par désespoir prit plusieurs amants!
Et la veuve du Colonel ferma ses persiennes et reprit le deuil pour la seconde fois
Oui, le village avait bien changé
Et moi

Les années ont passé
Cinq hivers, cinq étés
"No news c'était good news" on nous avait dit
Il a fallu du prendre, du courage et du temps
Pour arriver à continuer sans lui
Et malgré son absence
La nuit dans le silence
En pliant nos costumes et nos instruments
On entendait venir
Comme une larme un soupir
Du fond de la salle cette mélodie

Croqueur d'amour, l'œil de velours comme une caresse

Gigi
Gigi?
C'est toi là-bas dans le noir?
Attends, laisse-moi te regarder
Mais tu pleures, tu pleures, Gigi
Ça n'a pas été là-bas hein?
Et alors
Et alors, qu'est-ce qu'ils comprennent ces américains à part le rock et le twist, hein?
Ma Gigi, qu'est-ce que tu croyais?
Devenir comme ça Gigi l'Americano!
E invece no, tu es Giuseppe Frabrizio Luca Santini! Et tu es Napolitain!

Écoute, Giorgio s'est mis à la guitare
Attends! Sandro est là aussi!
Mais, mais tu peux t'en aller comme ça!
Ici tu es chez toi! Ici tu es le roi!
(Arriva)
Tu entends? Tu les entends Gigi?
Ils sont tous là
Ils ont dû te reconnaître à la gare
Chante, Gigi, chante!
C'est ton public, chante pour eux!
Chante pour moi qui n'ai jamais su te parler
Oui! Vas-y, bravo Gigi! Chante! Bravo!

Carmella, Carmella lo sai che é arrivato Gigi dell'America!
Joselina, Joselina scendi è arrivato Gigi da Hollywood!
Ma se te lo dico io che é arrivato, scendi, no
Guaglione, corri, corri va a dire a zio Gennaro
Che é arrivato lo zio Gigi dall'America!

(Toujours vainqueur, parfois sans cœur
Mais jamais sans tendresse
Partout c'était la fête quand il chantait
Zaza, Luna caprese, O' sole mio)

Arriva Gigi L'Amoroso!
Croqueur d'amour, l'œil de velours comme une caresse
Gigi L'Amoroso

Gigi the Lover (English Version)

Let me tell you a story
Before I leave you tonight
About a small village near Napoli
We were four friends
Dancing every Saturday night
Playing, singing until the morning light

Giorgio with his guitar
Sandro with his mandolin
I danced while playing the tambourine
But everyone who came
It was to listen
To the one who made every heart beat fast
And when he arrived
The crowd would shout

Here comes Gigi the Lover!
Heartbreaker, with eyes like velvet, a gentle caress
Gigi the Lover
Always a winner, sometimes heartless
But never without tenderness
Everywhere was a party when he sang
Zaza, Luna caprese, O' sole mio

Here comes

Gigi! Giuseppe, but everyone called him Gigi the Love
And women were crazy about him, all of them
The baker's wife who closed her shop every Tuesday to go
The notary's wife who was a saint and had never cheated on her husband before
And the Colonel's widow, the Colonel's widow who no longer wore mourning because he didn't like black
All of them, I tell you!
Even me!
But for me
Gigi loved his freedom too much
Until the day when

A rich American woman
With loud proclamations of "I love you"
Offered to take him to Hollywood
"You will be the most handsome of all the Carusos"
She told him until she was breathless
We were at the station
With all our handkerchiefs
Our hearts heavy, moved by this great departure
Yet we were proud
That he would go beyond our borders
Gigi was leaving to conquer America
And when he arrived
The village was there

Here comes Gigi the Lover!
Heartbreaker, with eyes like velvet, a gentle caress
Gigi the Lover
Always a winner, sometimes heartless
But never without tenderness
And there, in front of the crowd, he sang
Zaza, Luna caprese, O' sole mio

Here comes Gigi the Lover!

Gigi! When the train had disappeared, we all went home
And the next day the village was no longer the same
The baker's wife refused to light her oven
The notary's wife, out of despair, took several lovers!
And the Colonel's widow closed her shutters and went back into mourning for the second time
Yes, the village had changed
And me

The years have passed
Five winters, five summers
"No news was good news" we were told
It took courage and time
To be able to continue without him
And despite his absence
At night in the silence
While folding our costumes and instruments
We could hear it coming
Like a tear, a sigh
From the back of the room, that melody

Heartbreaker, with eyes like velvet, a gentle caress

Gigi
Gigi?
Is that you over there in the dark?
Wait, let me look at you
But you're crying, you're crying, Gigi
It wasn't good over there, huh?
And so
So, what do these Americans understand besides rock and twist, huh?
My Gigi, what did you expect?
To become like that, Gigi the Americano!
E invece no, you are Giuseppe Frabrizio Luca Santini! And you are Neapolitan!

Listen, Giorgio has started playing the guitar
Wait! Sandro is here too!
But, you can't just leave like this!
Here you are at home! Here you are the king!
(Arriva)
Do you hear? Do you hear them, Gigi?
They are all here
They must have recognized you at the station
Sing, Gigi, sing!
This is your audience, sing for them!
Sing for me, who never knew how to talk to you
Yes! Go on, bravo Gigi! Sing! Bravo!

Carmella, Carmella, you know that Gigi from America has arrived!
Joselina, Joselina come down, Gigi from Hollywood has arrived!
But if I tell you he's arrived, come down, no
Guaglione, run, run, go tell Uncle Gennaro
That Uncle Gigi from America has arrived!

(Always a winner, sometimes heartless
But never without tenderness
Everywhere was a party when he sang
Zaza, Luna caprese, O' sole mio)

Here comes Gigi the Lover!
Heartbreaker, with eyes like velvet, a gentle caress
Gigi the Lover
