She failed to graduate and, along with her brother, became involved in theater, where she discovered her talent for musicals. She recorded several jingles, and then moved to Rio de Janeiro, where she met Roberto Menescal, the producer who brought her to Polygram. It was with Polygram that she launched her career as a professional singer, recording several discs and appearing on a 1978 Chico Buarque album singing "Pedaço de Mim", her first hit. Her interpretation of "Nunca" (Lupicínio Rodrigues), "Meu Amigo, Meu Herói" (Gilberto Gil), "Asa Morena" (Zé Caradípia) and "Perigo" (Nico Rezende/ Paulinho Lima) granted her a distinguished position within BPM .

She left Polygram in 1990, moved to São Paulo and decided to dedicate herself to a less commercial repertoire than that demanded by her former record label. She put together the show "Sobre Todas as Coisas", backed up by Marcos Suzano (percussion) and Lui Coimbra (violin-cello), with whom she toured Brazil. The show was later recorded by the label Eldorado. In 1993, "Valsa Brasileira", with its slick repertoire and expert technical back-up, was released by the label Velas and helped to put her up amongst the leading names on the MPB scene. In 1997, she recorded "Per Amore" – which was a commercial sensation, with its sales boosted by the title track. The following year, she released "Passione", an album Italian songs, only.

Senza Fine
Zizi Possi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Senza fine
Tu trascini lá nostra vita
Senza un attimo di respiro
Per sognare
Per potere ricordare
Ciò che abbiamo già vissuto
Senza fine, tu sei un attimo senza fine
Non hai ieri. non hai domani

Tutto è ormai nelle tue mani.
Mani grandi. mani senza fine
Non m′importa della luna.
Non m'importa della stelle.
Tu per me sei luna e stelle
Tu per me sei sole e cielo
Tu per me sei tutto quanto.

Tutto quanto io voglio avere
Senza fine...

Overall Meaning

The Italian song "Senza Fine" by Gino Paoli, made famous and covered by Zizi Possi, speaks of the endlessness of life and how we are constantly dragged along without a moment to catch a breath. The song describes how we dream and remember the past, but ultimately, time goes on without stopping. The phrase "Senza Fine" repetitively insinuates that life is a never-ending moment, and we must embrace every second to live fully.
The lyrics suggest that the past and the future are insignificant when compared to the moment we are living, and we should not dwell on what is to come, but instead, cherish the present. The line "Tu per me sei luna e stelle, tu per me sei sole e cielo, tu per me sei tutto quanto" expresses that for the singer, everything they want or need is embodied in one person.
