In 1971, the band collaborated with composer Luis Enriquez Bacalov for Concerto grosso per i New Trolls, which is generally regarded as their best release. Further personnel changes and a move to a heavier rock sound resulted in the band splitting in two, legal disagreements over the use of the name, and the formation of Ibis and New Trolls Atomic System (with two albums each). By 1975, the parties had reconciled enough to come back together under the original name for Concerto grosso n°2.
Since that time, the band has broken up, reformed with varying personnel, and tried a variety of styles. New Trolls members have been involved in a variety of other bands, including Latte e Miele, Nuova Idea, Nova, and De Piscopo.
Adagio
New Trolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your shadows in the dark
Always searching, never finding
My shadows in the dark
Wishing you to be so near to me
Finding only my lonelines
Waiting for the sun to shine again
Finding that it′s gone too far away
To sleep
Maybe to dream
To die
To sleep
Maybe to dream
Maybe to dream
To dream
The lyrics to New Trolls' song Adagio speak of a continuous search for something that seems to be out of reach. Whether it's the singer or the person they are addressing, they are a shadow in the dark, elusive, and impossible to grasp. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and loneliness as the search never yields any results. The singer is yearning for the person to be near them but instead finds only their own loneliness. They cling to the hope that the sun will shine again, but it seems too far away.
The final lines of the song turn to death, sleep, and dreams. There is a sense of resignation and surrender, as if the singer has given up on finding what they are looking for. Death and sleep become the only ways to escape the endless search, and dreams become the only avenue for hope and fulfillment.
Overall, the lyrics to Adagio are a poignant reflection on the human experience of searching for something that seems impossible to find. It is a universal theme that many can relate to and is beautifully conveyed through the song.

Always searching, never finding
Constantly seeking, but never discovering
Your shadows in the dark
The presence of your absence
My shadows in the dark
The darkness within me
Wishing you to be so near to me
Longing for your closeness
Finding only my loneliness
Facing my own solitude
Waiting for the sun to shine again
Hoping for a brighter future
Finding that it's gone too far away
Realizing that hope may be lost
To die
The end of existence
To sleep
The temporary escape from reality
Maybe to dream
Possibly finding solace in dreams
Maybe to dream
A second acknowledgment of the possibility of finding solace in dreams
To dream
A final thought of seeking refuge in the world of dreams

CONCERTO GROSSO per i NEW TROLLS - Adagio (1971)
Desiderare che tu sia così vicina a me
E trovare solo la mia solitudine
Aspettare che il sole splenda di nuovo
E scoprire che è scomparso lontano
Morire
Dormire
Sognare forse
Morire
Dormire
Sognare forse
Sognare

슬픔이 다가오는걸
알게 해주는 음악..
15년전에 라디오앞에서 들었던
노래인데 오늘갑자기 티비보다가 나오길래
깜짝놀라서 ㅠ
제목이 6시간째 생각안나다가
지금 잠자기 직전
유레카~! New trolls를 외쳤네요
음악은 머리로 듣는게 아니라
가슴이 기억하는것처럼..
Marco Faiella
Wishing you to be so near to me
Finding only my lonelines
Waiting for the sun to shine again
Finding that it's gone to far away
To die
To sleep
Maybe to dream
To die
To sleep
Maybe to dream
Maybe to dream
To dream

Mi trovassi a scegliere tra i New Trolls e i Beatles non avrei dubbi, sceglierei sempre i New Trolls. Può sembrare un paragone irriverente ,i Beatles furono un fenomeno universale i New Trolls no, però con i New Trolls sognavi, con i Beatles ascoltavi il meglio della musica commerciale, è' differente, probabilmente una questione di cuore. Scrivere con il cuore . Concerto grosso (qui solo in un brano), va ascoltato in religioso silenzio, magari sdraiato e con gli occhi chiusi .

Nani sulle spalle di giganti? Concerto Grosso fu un grandissimo momento musicale italiano. Tuttavia breve e limitato per quanto riguarda i New Trolls a questo disco. Poi ci furono commercialissime carezze della sera e persino imbarazzanti "america ok"...

@Mau Bra ahha 😋 fantastico , diciamo che sono generi a mio parere non sempre apprezzati o per un pubblico sempre piu' in minoranza , personalmente trovo alcune colonne sonore di film cosidetti di serie B molto intererssanti
