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.
E' Inutile Davvero
Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tanto è proprio inutile
Ho già capito che
Tu non puoi restare con me
Vorrei poterti dir
Che non voglio perderti
Ma so
Che ti farei
Se credi che però
Ti sia un po' più facile
Riparlarne con me
Prima di baciarmi se vuoi
Sorriderò con te
Come se fosse semplice
E quando te ne andrai
Io piangerò
È inutile davvero
Soffrire così
Non dirmi cosa c'è
Tanto è proprio inutile
Ho già capito che
Tu non puoi restare con me
Vorrei poterti dir
Che non voglio perderti
Ma so
Che ti farei
Soffrir di più
Ma so
Che ti farei
Soffrir di più
Ma so
Che ti farei
Soffrir di più
In Adriano Celentano's song E' Inutile Davvero, the singer expresses their understanding that their lover cannot stay with them. They wish they could tell them that they don't want to lose them but know that it would only cause more pain. Despite this, they suggest that they could talk about it one more time before saying goodbye. The singer tries to pretend that it's simple and smiles as though everything is easy, but when their lover leaves, they cry. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's really useless to suffer like this."
The lyrics capture the complexity of a failing relationship and the difficulty of letting go. The singer is aware that their attempts to keep their lover would only cause more pain but still longs for one last conversation. They acknowledge that the situation is useless and yet still can't help but feel torn and heartbroken.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of resignation about the inevitability of the end of a relationship.
