Heavily influenced by his idol, Elvis Presley, and the 1950s rock revolution, he is also known as the most famous dancer of the Hula hoop fad. For the last 40 years he has retained his popularity in Italy, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies (including a short appearance in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, before becoming a famous artist). In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful, in fact in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to Serafino (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best effort.
As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti, Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori. His best movie like director is "Yuppi Du", winner of The Golden Palm at Cannes Festival. He and Claudia are the parents of Rosita, Rosalinda and Vincent Celentano, the latter most notable to worldwide audiences for playing the Satan character in Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ. He also works often as a host for several Italian television shows.
His 1968 song "Azzurro" has regained popularity in 2006, due to it being the anthem of the Italian national football team (the Azzurri) who won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The artist Vincent Fiorello has also created a remix of the song.
His last concert-event in 2012, after 18 years without live performances, was transmitted on Canale 5, with over 9 million viewers both evenings.

Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fra le tue braccia
Mentre tu mi baci
Mi baci sempre più
Addormentarmi così
Sul tuo respiro
Labbra sulle labbra
Bocca a bocca
Cuore a cuore
Soffrire insieme
Morire insieme
Addormentarmi così
Sul tuo respiro
Labbra sulle labbra
E non svegliarmi più
Bocca a bocca
Cuore a cuore
Soffrire insieme
Morire insieme
Addormentarmi così
E non svegliarmi più
The lyrics of Adriano Celentano's song "Addormentarmi Così" depict a deep desire to be with someone, to feel their love and presence so intensely that it becomes impossible to imagine being apart from them. The singer longs to fall asleep in the arms of their beloved, while receiving endless kisses that gradually become more passionate. The act of falling asleep in this person's embrace is described as being in complete harmony, as their breaths intertwine and their lips remain locked together. The plea to not be awakened suggests that the singer wants to remain in this dreamlike state, wrapped in the love and affection of their partner.
The repetition of the lines "Bocca a bocca, cuore a cuore" (Mouth to mouth, heart to heart) emphasizes the physical and emotional connection the singer shares with their loved one. They speak of suffering together and dying together, which can be interpreted as a willingness to undergo any hardship or pain as long as they can experience it alongside their beloved. This intensifies the sense of closeness and attachment between the two individuals.
Overall, "Addormentarmi Così" portrays a profound need for love, intimacy, and complete immersion in a romantic relationship. It captures the desire to be so deeply connected with someone that there is a reluctance to wake up from this state of pure bliss.

sei unico Celentano !!!

Este tema lo escuché alla por el año 1965 por Giacomo Rondinella, era un disco de pasta de 78 RPM con dos temas. El otro era Core I´ngrato. Recorri todos los temas en los vinilos que encontre en Spotify y en Tidal, pero este tema no lo encontré. Nunca entendi porqué, porque es hermoso. Si alguien lo encuentra, avisar por favor. Sarò molto grato !
