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.
Bisogna Far Qualcosa
Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ma qualcosa che dico io
Una pastiglia da far prendere alla gente
Che fa renda tutta quanta sorridente
Eh... bisogna far qualcosa
Perche non si puo piu
Guardali tutti li con quelle facce sempre giu
Ma quale mare e una raffineria
Si va via solo per ritornare
Con addosso qualche nuova malattia
Bisogna far qualcosa
Perche cosi non va
Non ci si vive piu
Con quelle facce sempre giu
Son ventanni ma io lo canto ancora
Non e protesta ma verita
E lui laveva detto state attenti
Lha detto quasi due millenni fa...eh!...
Bisogna far qualcosa
Ma che canzone e
E sto cantando io
E non cantare insieme a me!
In Adriano Celentano's song "Bisogna Far Qualcosa," the singer expresses his concern for the state of society and the world we live in. He begins the song by saying that if he could, he would do something more, something that would make people happy.
He then suggests that people should take a pill that makes them smile, as everyone always seems to have a frown on their faces. He laments the fact that the highway that leads to the sea is really just a route to a refinery, and that people only come back with new diseases. Celentano believes that something needs to be done to change the current state of the world, as we can no longer live with faces always downcast.
The song is a call to action, emphasizing the need for change and improvement. Celentano acknowledges that he is not the first to make such a plea, as even Jesus warned people to be careful. The song is a timeless message, as it was written over 20 years ago but still holds relevance today.

Se io potessi farei qualcosa in piu
If I had the power, I would do something more
Ma qualcosa che dico io
Something that I say
Una pastiglia da far prendere alla gente
A pill to make people feel happy
Che fa renda tutta quanta sorridente
That makes everybody smile
Eh... bisogna far qualcosa
We need to do something
Perche non si puo piu
Because things cannot continue like this
Guardali tutti li con quelle facce sempre giu
Look at them, all with gloomy faces
Lautostrada che va verso il mare
The highway that goes to the sea
Ma quale mare e una raffineria
But the sea is actually a refinery
Si va via solo per ritornare
You go away just to come back
Con addosso qualche nuova malattia
With some new disease on yourself
Bisogna far qualcosa
We need to do something
Perche cosi non va
Because it's not right
Non ci si vive piu
We can't live like this anymore
Con quelle facce sempre giu
With those gloomy faces
Son ventanni ma io lo canto ancora
It's been 20 years, but I still sing it
Non e protesta ma verita
It's not a protest, but the truth
E lui laveva detto state attenti
And he had said, 'Be careful'
Lha detto quasi due millenni fa...eh!...
He said it almost two millennia ago...yeah!...
Bisogna far qualcosa
We need to do something
Ma che canzone e
But what kind of a song is it?
E sto cantando io
And I'm singing it
E non cantare insieme a me!
And don't sing along with me!

bisogna far qualcosa. Anche predicando e già qualcosa. perche' c'e' gente che ha paura di dire la sua opinione, e di dire per quale squadra fa il tifo . Un uomo libero deve avere il coraggio di dire la sua. perche' chi tace difronte ad una ingiustizia e' colpevole come quello che la commette. Lo diceva anche il vangelo già 2000 anni fa .
