Paoli was born in Monfalcone, but moved very early to Genoa.
After several different jobs, he was called by Ricordi with his friends Luigi Tenco and Bruno Lauzi. His first success was the single "La gatta". This was followed by "Sapore di sale", arranged by Ennio Morricone. In the same year he attempted suicide by shooting at his heart, but he survived.
In 1974 he returned with the LP I semafori rossi non sono Dio, followed by Il mio mestiere (1977). Both showed a more mature inspiration than his 1960s works. In the 1980s Paoli procuded a series of successful albums, and in 1985 he toured Italy together with Ornella Vanoni.
In 1987 he was elected to the Italian Chamber of Deputies for the Italian Communist Party. He abandoned politics in 1992.
He was married with actress Stefania Sandrelli, from whom he divorced. Their daughter Amanda Sandrelli is also an actress.

E m'innamorerai
Gino Paoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark
Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark
What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand?
How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man?
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark
Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark
What makes you think that you're gonna ever understand?
What's goin' on in the mind of another man?
Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark
Travellin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Travellin' in the dark
What you gonna do when you can't seem to understand?
How you gonna feel when your woman's with another man?
The lyrics of the song "Travellin' in the Dark" describe a situation of disorientation, confusion, and despair. The singer is lost in the darkness, unable to see what's in front of him, and struggling to make sense of his emotions. The repeating refrain emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in a state of uncertainty, with no clear direction or hope for resolution.
The first stanza sets the scene for the rest of the song, creating a haunting image of a lone traveler in the dark. The repeated line "can't see a thing" is both a literal description of the darkness and a metaphor for the singer's mental state. He is blinded by his confusion and unable to navigate his emotions or the world around him. The second stanza brings the focus to the interpersonal relationships in the singer's life. He is grappling with the betrayal of a woman who he believed was faithful to him, struggling to understand what he did wrong and unsure of how to move forward.
The final stanza repeats the questions posed in the first two stanzas, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the singer's predicament. He is trapped in a pattern of confusion and hurt, unable to break free and find clarity. The song leaves the listener with a sense of melancholy and introspection, inviting them to contemplate their own experiences of emotional darkness and uncertainty.

Per avere un sorriso da te
Io non lo so cosa farei
Un sorriso per far compagnia
A questa mia malinconia
Un sorriso appena accennato
Come di un bimbo
Ch'è appena nato
Un sorriso che è sempre lo stesso
Da quando sei nata
Ad adesso
E m'innamorerai
E t'innamorerò
Tu con la tua allegria
Io con la mia malinconia
E m'innamorerai
E t'innamorerò
Ci sono malattie
Inevitabili
Per avere un sorriso da te
Io non lo so cosa farei
Per vedere un mondo che sia
Vestito con la tua allegria
So che dentro il tuo amore io entro
Come un naufrago in punta di piedi
Per sentire quello che tu senti
Per vedere quel che tu vedi
E m'innamorerai
E t'innamorerò
Tu con la tua allegria
Io con la mia malinconia
E m'innamorerai
E t'innamorerò
Ci sono malattie
Inevitabili
E m'innamorerai
E t'innamorerò
Ci sono malattie
Inevitabili
E m'innamorerai
E t'innamorerò
Ci sono storie
Inevitabili
Per avere un sorriso da te
Io non lo so cosa farei

Io li ho visti proprio in questo tour, era il 2006. E la cosa unica fu che il pubblico era al 50% formato di giovani tra i 20 e i 40 anni.
