Giorgio Gaber is an italian singer-songwriter that meant a lot in the Italian musical scene, from the 70′ to the day he died, in 2003.

I could write for hours about him… but honestly, I think that the only way to approach to him is to listen it’s songs and understand them.
If you just need basic informations, you can use wikipedia.

What I will try to do here is to translate some of his songs, cause he’s my favourite artist and I really owe him a lot.

Giorgio Gaber passed his entire life of artist to analyse the human being, the society, and it’s inner workings.

The result, in 30 years of music, is a struggle union of politics and emotions, a perfect-like-a-clockwork description of the human life, from the most physical necessities, to the higher elan vital.

As I always said, understanding the meaning of his songs fasten the process nedeed to understand the meaning of life itself, cause he was really ahead in that objective.

Also, it hurts a lot, forcing the listener to call himself into question in a critical way.
But… “per crescere davvero… bisogna spesso andarsene lontano, e ridere di noi come da un aeroplano”
That means… “to really grow up… we often have to go far, and laught of us like from an airplane”
