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.
Veronica Verrai
Adriano Celentano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leggera come quando te ne vai
C'e un'elica in te
Che ti riporta qui
Da me
Veronica verrai
A coltivare canapa a Shangai
Veronica verrai
Io so
Veronica Veronica Veronica verrai
E lascerai quell'uomo e il suo museo
Piu povera che mai
Vestita solo di
Un pareo
Veronica vedrai
Non ci ameremo più part-time
Se te lo chiedero
Veronica verrai
Lo so
Dimenticando ogni prudenza come un lupo in astinenza
Alla mia porta busserai ed in mia assenza tu mi aspetterai
Osservatrice come sei spiata un po' ti sentirai
Dal mio ritratto sul como ed da i che io ti appariro
Lo so che tu lo sai
Tu sai che io lo so
Io so che tu lo sai e tu lo sai che io lo so Veronica non dir di no
Tu sai che io lo so e io lo so che tu lo sai
Il cuore tira piu di cento buoi
Adesso te ne vai
Ma quando ti vorrò
Verrai
Tu sei la complico ideale che durante il temporale
Viene a rifugiarsi qui nel mio capanno degli attrezzi
Ma io ti voglio piu solare
Più disposta a camminare
Per la strada e sul metro
Davanti a tutti io ti abbraccero
Lo so che tu lo sai
Tu sai che io lo so
Lo so che tu lo sai e tu lo sai che io lo so
Veronica non dir di no
Lo so che tu lo sai
Tu sai che io lo so
Lo so che tu lo sai e tu lo sai che io lo so
Veronica non dir
Veronica non dir
Veronica non dir
Di no
The song "Veronica Verrai" by Adriano Celentano is about a woman named Veronica whom the singer is clearly infatuated with. Throughout the song, the singer talks about Veronica's qualities that he finds attractive, such as her freedom and her willingness to drop everything and come to him. He urges her to leave her current partner and come to him completely.
The singer also hints at the fact that he knows Veronica feels the same way, saying "tu sai che io lo so" (you know that I know). He believes that no matter what happens, Veronica will eventually come to him because he is what she truly desires. The song ends with the singer telling Veronica not to deny her feelings for him.
While the song may seem like a simple love song on the surface, some have interpreted it to be about the struggle for artistic freedom in Italy during the 1970s. Veronica, in this interpretation, represents Italian youth who are fighting against the cultural establishment and their parents' expectations.

Вероника придет
И все мои печали унесет
Она- мой кислород
И с ней моя душа поет
Она -мой талисман
Я с ней пройду сквозь бурю и туман
Вероника - дурман
Пленен я ею навсегда
Верника ...Вероника..
Вероника ..придет
И пусть она с три короба наврет
Поверю все равно
Ведь счастлив с ней врагам назло
Вероника придет
Пусть в клочья мою душу разорвет
И пусть все заберет
Служить ей буду рад - вот так
И почему не знаю сам
Я подчиняюсь и боюсь
Ее расстроить и хочу
Спуститься и упасть к ее ногам
И почему не знаю сам
Взмываю я на небеса
И замираю чуть дыша
Когда спадает платье не спеша..
Но почему она?
Мне снова не до сна..
Воинствует весна
И снова снится лишь она
Вероника, лишь ты одна..
Вероника ..Вероника
Я знаю все равно
С тобою я готов идти в разнос
Меня лишь помани
Вновь за тобой готов идти...
Когда снимаешь платье ты
Ты воплощаешь все мечты
И цель одна - всего себя
Тебе отдать взамен твоей любви
И в целом мире в этот час
Нет никого счастливей нас
И я готов того убить
Кто помешает мне с тобою быть
И почему когда..
Воинствует весна
Мне снова не до сна
Мне грезится она..одна..
Вероника пойдем.. в кино..
На мой немой вопрос в ответ
Вероника не скажет -"Нет"
И пусть на улице гроза
Вероника мне скажет "Да"
Я пью зеленое вино
Ее очей, мне все равно
Что вечерами ждут друзья
Им не подвластен больше я
А лишь она в моей душе
И не исчезнет в ней уже
У ног ее уснуть хочу
Лишь имя женское шепчу ..
Вероника в ответ
Вероника в ответ
Вероника в ответ
Не скажет "Нет"....

Adriano è unico, Lorella è la biondissima supersexy, sinuosa, agile e scattante. Lei vola. Ha un bellissimo modo di muovere braccia e gambe lunghissime e perfette. Un angelo che gioca a fare la seducente in questo straordinario pezzo cantato egregiamente dal mitico Celentano.
