He is probably best known internationally for the song Senza Una Donna, which is a duet with Paul Young and hit number 4 in the latter's native United Kingdom, where Zucchero has generally made little commercial impact, in 1991. He commenced his musical career in 1970 with his first single in 1976, and his first album in 1983. His music, in Italian, Spanish and in English, is largely inspired by gospel, blues and rock music, and alternates between syrupy ballads and more rhythmic boogie-like pieces. He sang several duets, in public or on disc, with Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Paul Young, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Luciano Pavarotti, Tom Jones, and Johnny Hallyday.
European hit singles include Il Volo (English version: My love), Cosi Celeste, Baila (sexy thing), Diamante (featuring soul singer Randy Crawford), and Wonderful World (with Eric Clapton). Zucchero's 2004 album ZU & Co features duets with Miles Davis, Paul Young, Sheryl Crow, The Cranberries's Dolores O'Riordan, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Maná, Brian May, and Sting. It has sold millions of copies throughout Europe and the world and entered the Billboard 200 charts after its release in the U.S. in the summer of 2005.
In July 2005, Zucchero took part in the Live 8 concerts in both Rome and Paris. In July 2006 Zucchero's new single 'Bacco Perbacco' was released. A new studio album, produced by Don Was will be released in September.

Lord
Tornano a casa con me
Le lucciole
Come sogni e papaveri rossi
In fondo al mare
Hey lord
My lord
Tornano a te
Hey lord
My lord
Hey lord
Tornano a te
A te
A te
Senza nome tonano a te
I know the lord
I know the lord
Quel che ho visto laggiù
Dilania il cuore
Nel tramonto che trafiggie gli occhi
E incendia il mare
Hey lord
My lord
Hey lord
Tornano a te
Hey lord

Hey lord
Tornano a te
A te

Senza un nome tornano a te

The song Hey Lord by Zucchero is a beautiful and soulful ballad that talks about the return of fireflies, dreams and red poppies in summer, and how the singer knows the Lord. The song has a melancholic and nostalgic tone throughout and features the singer talking about how everything that he has seen far away tears his heart apart, especially the sunset that pierces through the eyes and sets the sea on fire. Zucchero sings "Hey lord, my lord, they come back to you" multiple times, referring to the fireflies, dreams, and poppies that come back to the Lord. The song ends with a plea for forgiveness, and the singer asking for another chance to make things right and to always be forgiven.
The lyrics of the song Hey Lord by Zucchero are profoundly spiritual and melancholic, with the singer reflecting on the natural beauty of the summer and the things he has experienced in life, particularly the pain that he has seen far away. The singer's use of the metaphorical language of fireflies, poppies, and dreams returning to the Lord, and his plea for forgiveness, convey a sense of loss and regret, and a hope that things can be set right with the Lord's help. The song's gentle and soothing melody and the singer's emotive delivery add to the overall sense of poignancy and longing.
