Lorenzo Cherubini, better known by his
stage name Jovanotti, is one of
During the past 5 years Jovanotti has become a pioneer in
avant-garde musical composition. After years of traveling around the world, his
music has become heavily influenced by brazilian
rythyms, jazz instruments and synthesized sounds. One
trait of his music remains intact though – his catchy ability to rhyme strings
of words for verses on end. If you don’t speak Italian it’s a big loss, but his
music is still something out of the ordinary.
Over the last few years, Jovanotti has increased his political and
social involvement and this has led him to become, among other things, one of
the main promoters of the Campaign for the cancellation of the public debt owed
by Third World Countries alongside U2’s Bono. In the eyes of certain critics,
this is a far cry from the young man who in the late 1980s entertained hundreds
of radio listeners for hours on end emulating Robin Williams in "Good
Morning Vietnam".
Piove is perhaps his best sold record, and by
far one of his catchiest. It can be found in the TV series The Soprano’s
soundtrack. However, it is only a fraction of the musical variety in Jovanotti’s repertoire. Other songs that I really recommend:
Salato parte uno, Salato parte
due, Salvami, Per te, Stella Cometa and Serenata Rap.

Piove(click for song) Hai visto che
piove, guarda come viene giù tu che dicevi che non pioveva più che ormai non ti saresti mai più innamorata e adesso guardati sei tutta bagnata e piove madonna come piove sulla tua testa e l'aria si rinfresca e pioverà fin quando
la terra non sarà di nuovo
piena e prima o poi si rasserena piove senti
come piove madonna come piove
senti come viene
giù senti le gocce che
battono sul tetto senti il rumore girandoti
nel letto rinascerà sta già
nascendo ora senti che piove e il grano si migliora e tu diventi grande e ti
fai forte e quelle foglie che ti sembravan morte ripopolano i rami un'altra
volta questa è la primavera sulla porta e piove madonna come piove e poi tornerà il sole
a farci festa senti com'è che piove sulla tua testa tu che credevi che oramai le tue piantine si eran seccate e non
sarebbero cresciute più hai aspettato un po' ma senti come piove sulla tua testa senti come
viene giù non eri tu che ormai ti eri
rassegnata e che dicevi che non ti saresti
più innamorata la terra a volte va innaffiata con il pianto ma poi vedrai la pioggia tornerà piove, senti
come piove madonna come piove senti come viene giù! |
Rain You’ve noticed how it rains, just see how it’s pouring And you said it would never rain again That you would never fall in love again Now take a look, you’re soaking wet And it rains, Madonna how it rains On your head while the breeze refreshes It will rain till the earth is replenished once more And then the calm will come Rain, feel how it rains Madonna how it rains Feel how all the rain drops fall Feel the raindrops beating on the rooftop Feel the noise as you toss and turn in bed It will rebirth, its rebirthing now Feel how it rains and how the seeds improve You become big and become strong And those leafs you thought were dead, Are now repopulating branches once more This is springtime knocking at the door And rain, Madonna how it rains Soon the sun will come out to celebrate as well Feel how it rains on your head And you thought that your plants Had dried up and wouldn’t grow again You did wait a while, but feel how it rains On your head, feel how the raindrops slide Hadn’t you given up already, And said you would never fall in love again? The earth sometimes will hold its tears back, But wait and see, the rain will come again Rain, feel how it rains Madonna how it rains Feel how all the rain drops fall |
