a little about Riccardo Fogli.
Riccardo Fogli was born on 21 October 1947 in Pontedera. He was fond of music since his childhood. In the 1960s, he became a fan of The Beatles, which also influenced his decision to start his career as a singer.
In 1964, at the age of 17, Fogli joins Slenders. Two years later, in 1966, he becomes a lead singer of Pooh. In 1973, he leaves Pooh and starts his solo career; however, later he performer many songs together with Pooh, most notably Giorni cantati "The Days Sung Together".
In 1973, Riccardo issued his first album Ciao amore come stai (Hello, Love, How Are You?), which was followed by his second album Riccardo Fogli in 1976; the song "Mondo" ("World") from this album became a hit. However, it was not until the early 1980s that Fogli eventually worked out his style of performance.
The 1980s were a pinnacle of success for Riccardo Fogli. In this period, the lyrics of his songs became more philosophical and his singing manner became more emotional. It was in the 1980s that Fogli gained overwhelming popularity both within and outside Italy. In 1981, Fogli performed one of his most famous and lyrical song, "Malinconia" ("Melancholy"), and in 1982 he was a winner at Festival di Sanremo with his another hit "Storie di tutti i giorni" ("Everyday Stories"), where he out-did even the duet of Al Bano and Romina Power with their hit "Felicità" ("Happiness"). Since then, Riccardo Fogli became world famous; his 1982 album Collezione (Collection) was issued in nearly a million copies in Western Europe, Japan and the USSR, where he became particularly popular.
Riccardo Fogli participated in Eurovision Song Contest with the entry "Per Lucia" ("For Lucia") in 1983, where he finished in 11th place and received 41 points. Also, he was married to an Italian singer Viola Valentino but then divorced.
lyrics of the song
Suppose a dark period without love
looking for a night made for drinking
and make of your life a glass
and wait for the dawn to take you to sleep.
And it's melancholy
that follows you along the way,
It leaves you after an hour,
but you know that it will be back again.
Suppose a friend who must leave now,
you probably will not hear him anymore:
You don't know whether to cry or try to joke,
You don't say anything and have a thousand things to say.
And it's melancholy
to keep you company,
gives you always a reason,
but in return, then who knows what he wants;
and it's melancholy
an hour that goes away
or a year to forget, alone in the back of a room.
Suppose that one day, suddenly the street
you wonder if it's only this life,
speak a language that for others is wrong
even standing a hundred yards from home.
And it's melancholy
which is a friend ...or not
is what's left when the world is not enough;
and it's melancholy
and suburbs
is the only one who feels if you feel really bad.
Suppose now, after so many words,
behind the door, love is waiting for you.
What can you do? It was all planned.
After all it is clear; we live for this.
Suppose that the world, for a month or a moment
Almost forget you.
Evenings at home, just like a dog
eat something, only to keep you alive.
And it's melancholy
of all, a little bit mine too,
it's the only one who's waiting when the time goes quickly
and it's melancholy
that takes you away.
It's a train, a little 'magic
That takes you only if you were wrong.
