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.
Cercami
Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sciogliendomi, sto sciogliendoti.
Io non cerco il seno quello ha già confuso il cuore e la tua anima.
Io non chiedo al tempo che mi invecchia e mi tormenta di fermarsi un più.
Un giorno vivranno nel mondo senza di noi, un giorno vivranno nel mondo senza
di noi.
E poi amandoci resteremo li dentro l'anima.
Animandoci ballerà con noi anche l'aria.
chiedo al tempo che mi invecchia e mi tormenta, di fermarsi un po'.
Un giorno vivranno nel mondo senza di noi.
Un giorno vivranno nel mondo senza di noi.
E poi amandoci resteremo lì dentro l'anima.
Animandoci ballerà con noi anche l'aria
The lyrics to Adriano Celentano's song "Cercami" speak about losing and finding oneself and one's loved one. The singer is asking the other person to seek them out if they can, as they are both losing themselves and each other. The singer also asks to be loved, as they feel themselves melting away and dissolving. They are not interested in physicality or time, but rather in the deeper connection of the soul. They express a desire to remain together even after they are gone, and to have their love animate and dance with them in the air.
The lyrics are a powerful and poetic representation of the complex and universal feelings of love and loss. The singer is searching for something beyond the physical, something that can last beyond the constraints of time and space. They seem to be acknowledging that everything changes and fades eventually, but love can still stay alive in the memories and hearts of those who experienced it. The repeated refrain of "un giorno vivranno nel mondo senza di noi" (one day they will live in the world without us) highlights the singer's awareness of the impermanence of life and love, which in turn makes their desire to be together all the more urgent and poignant.

Questa canzone è davvero una poesia, è un atto d'amore. "io non chiedo al tempo che m'invecchia e mi tormenta di fermarsi un po', un giorno vivranno nel mondo senza di noi".
