His parents helped him develop this gift and hone his skills and when he was 11 they sent him to study with Aurelia Cionca, renowned in her native Romania as an excellent pianist who herself was taught by a student of Franz Liszt. Later Cicero studied with Anna Pitis who is said to have “initiated him into the virtuoso traditions personified by Franz Liszt” and later Cicero studied instrumentation and composition at the National Conservatory in Bucharest.
In the early 1960s, Cicero was on tour in East Berlin and managed to escape to the West. It was Charly Antolini, the drummer on most of Cicero’s later recordings, that got him a deal with Saba/MPS and the rest, as they say, is history.
Many of his recordings are jazz adaptations of classical music.

'S Wonderful
Eugen Cicero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life has just begun,
Jack has found his Jill
Don't know what you've done
But I'm all a-thrill.
How could words express
Your divine appeal?
You can never guess
All the love I feel

From now on, Lady, I insist,
For me no other girls exist.

'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
(That) You should care for me!
'S awful nice! 'S paradise!
'S what I love to see!

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous,

'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eugen Cicero's song 'S Wonderful are all about being totally infatuated with someone - a feeling that's captured in the line "You can never guess all the love I feel." The singer is so thrilled and charmed by this person, who he lovingly calls "Lady," that he insists he won't look elsewhere, saying "For me no other girls exist."

As a result, he's completely swept up in what "life has just begun," now that he's met his "Jill."
