Hey Man
Zucchero & B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ho sei cose nella mente
E tu non ci sei più
Mi dispiace
Guardo dentro agli occhi della gente
Cosa cerco non so
Forse un uomo
Hey man, che cammini come me dall'altra parte della strada
Hey man, che sei solo come me dall'altra parte della strada

Sing a song and sorrow passes by
Sing in harmony
Even better
What d'you say, my friend, some summer night
Keep me company
Hang together

Hey man, I see you walking just like me
On the far side of the road
Hey man, come and sing my song with me
On my side of the road
Che ci facciamo compagnia

Guardo dentro agli occhi della gente (hey man don't you know)
Cosa cerco non so (don't know why)
Un altro uomo (I miss you, I miss you)
Hey, fratello di una notte d'estate (hey man don't you know)
Ci facciamo un po' (don't know why)
Compagnia (I miss you, I miss you)

Hey man, che cammini come me dall'altra parte della strada
Hey man, I see you walking just like me
On the far side of the road (sing my song with me)
Hey man, che sei solo come me dall'altra parte della strada (singing)
Hey man, come and sing my song with me
On my side of the road
Che ci facciamo (hang together)
Compagnia




Hang together (compagnia)
Oh Lord, sing a song (hang together)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zucchero & B.B. King's song "Hey Man" express the singer's loneliness and his search for a companion. He has six things on his mind, but the person he used to turn to is no longer there to share them with. He looks into people's eyes to find what he's looking for, but he's not sure if he's looking for another man or just a connection with someone. The chorus calls out to a man on the other side of the road who walks just like him and is as alone as he is. He invites the man to come sing his song with him, to keep him company and hang together.


The second verse of the song urges the listener to sing a song to make their sorrow pass by, and it's even better if they can sing in harmony. The singer then asks his friend to keep him company on a summer night, as they hang together and make each other's company. The final chorus repeats the first, with a call to the other man to come sing the song with him and keep him company.


"Hey Man" is a song that speaks to the universal longing for connection and companionship. The singer's uncertainty about what he's looking for reflects the difficulty of finding real connection in a world where people can be so different from one another. The call to keep each other company, to hang together, and to sing together presents a vision of a world where people can bridge those differences and form meaningful connections.

Splendida Canzone
Poesia Pura!
"NON SO FORSE STO CERCANDO UN UOMO,
DALL'ALTRA PARTE DELLA STRADA!
IO E TE SIAMO UGUALI, ANCHÈ CON I NOSTRI PROBLEMI,
!GUARDO NEGLI OCCHI DELLA GENTE...COSA CERCO NON LO SO!
UN AMICO, CHE È ACCANTO A ME...E CI VOGLIAMO BENE!
!CI FACCIAMO COMPAGNIA!
LOVE
