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.
Non Piangerò
Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quando lontana da me te ne andrai
Dentro di me morirò, sorridendo però,
Con un bacio un addio ti darò.
Non piangerò, tu lo sai,
Quando per sempre lontana sarai
Ed allor penserò ai momenti d'amore
Non piangerò, tu lo sai,
Quando per sempre lontana sarai
Ed allor penserò ai momenti d'amore
Un'estate vissuta con te.
A-a-a---a-a-a
The lyrics of Adriano Celentano's "Non Piangerò" explore themes of loss, acceptance, and the bittersweet memories that linger after a relationship has ended. The singer of the song is addressing a woman who will soon be leaving him, acknowledging that he will not cry when she goes but instead will die inside, although he will do so with a smile on his face. This can be seen as a form of acceptance of the inevitable; instead of fighting against it, the singer accepts that his life will be forever changed by her absence. He promises to offer her a farewell kiss and then move on with his life.
The next two stanzas describe how the singer will remember their time together after she is gone. He will not cry when she is gone but will instead reminisce about the moments of love they shared together, specifically the summer they spent with each other. While the pain of her absence will no doubt be felt, the singer chooses to focus on the positive memories they made.
Overall, the song captures the complexity of human emotion when it comes to breakups and separation. The lyrics are a testament to the fact that, despite the pain involved, life goes on, and it is possible to move forward even in the face of heartbreak.
