At the age of 16 she won the San Remo Music Festival in 1964 singing "Non ho l'età" (I'm not old enough), with music composed by Nicola Salerno and lyrics by Mario Panzeri. Her victory enabled her to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 1964 with the same song, and she went on to claim her country's first-ever victory in the event and achieve the first UK Top 20 hit with a non-English-language Eurovision song. In 1966, she recorded "Dio, come ti amo" (God, how I love you), which became a world-wide hit. In 1974, she returned to the contest, again representing Italy, and finished second behind Sweden's ABBA with the song "Sì" (Yes), the music and lyrics of which were written by Mario Panzeri, Daniele Pace, Lorenzo Pilat, and Carrado Conti. When translated into English as "Go", this song reached the UK Top 10.
Gigliola went on to co-host the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 with Toto Cutugno, who had brought the event to Italy with his victory in Zagreb the previous year - the country's first win in the contest since her own twenty-six years earlier. Her latest album release was in 1995: "Giovane vecchio cuore".
Anema E Core
Gigliola Cinquetti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nun ce dicimmo maje pecchè?
Vocche ca vase nun ne vonno,
Nun so' sti vvocche oje ne'!
Pure, te chiammo e nun rispunne
Pe' fa dispietto a me…
Tenimmoce accusì: anema e core,
Nun ce lassammo cchiù, manco pe' n'ora,
Campà cu te, sempre cu te, pe' nun murì.
Che ce dicimmo a fa parole amare,
Si 'o bbene po' campà cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore,
Tenimmoce accussì… anema e core!
Forse sarrà ca 'o chianto è doce,
Forse sarrà ca bene fa…
Quanno mme sento cchiù felice,
Nun è felicità.
Specie si è vvote tu mme dice,
Distratta, 'a verità….
Stu desiderio 'e te mme fa paura,
Campà cu te, sempre cu te, pe' nun murì.
Che ce dicimmo a fa parole amare,
Si 'o bbene po' campà cu nu respiro?
Si smanie pure tu pe' chist'ammore,
Tenimmoce accussì… anema e core!
"Anema e Core" is a classic Neapolitan song about two lovers who are passionate about each other and will remain in love until the end of life. The song reflects a deep and intense bond that can exist between two individuals who share a strong emotional attachment. The song captures the essence of the Neapolitan people who are passionate about their culture, family, and affection for their loved ones.
In the song, the two lovers acknowledge that they have lost their peace and sleep, but they don't complain or argue. They accept their situation, and even though others may talk poorly about them, they stick to their commitment to each other. They are fearful of losing each other and hold on to the intensity of their love so that they can live together forever.
The lyricist beautifully captures the essence of true love and the strength of commitment without any demanding expectations. The singers of the song find solace in knowing that their love will last forever and the bond they share goes beyond words.

English:
We lose peace and sleep,
But we never tell why?
Mouths that do not want kisses,
Are not these mouths, my dear!
Still, I call you, but you do not answer
Just to spite me
Let's stay together "heart and soul"
Don't let me be alone,
not even for an hour
I want you so much it scares me
To live with you, always with you,
And not to die
Sometimes we say bitter words,
But with a breath it can be better
If you also suffer from this love,
Let us stay together "heart and soul"!
Maybe crying is sweet,
Perhaps because it is a relief
It makes you feel better,
But is not better
Sometimes it just a
Distraction, from the truth

She sang this marvellous romantic Italian song so well, with such warm feelings.

Красавица!!! Какая романтичная девушка, сколько в ней обаяния. Женщина мечта! И здесь ей всего 20 лет. Слушал разные интерпретации этой песни и пришел к выводу, что Джильола эту песню спела лучше всех.

@musikaka НЕТ. Анне Герман не нужно было петь эту песню. Её голос не подходит для этой песни. Она не поёт, а пищит, а здесь нужен более низкий тембр голоса. Вообще она на большого любителя, мне не нравилась никогда.
