La Ballerina Del Carillon

Ligabue · Other Songs - Ligabue

Il night chiude alle tre

manda a nanna il professore

Donne con lui non ce n'è,

è fatto così, non vuol pagare

ma nanananana è un compleanno su cui passare

e nanananana brinda al suo pendolo ed al suo din-don



si alza la ballerina del carillon



L'ombra dipende dal neon

pensa la spogliarellista

e, intanto, stima il cammeo

che una tipa tiene in vista

ma, nanananana il seno casca e un cliente fischia

e, nanananana balla più in fretta e lancia cotillons



gira la ballerina del carillon



Sul piano del piano bar

ci son troppe poche mance

e, allora, va avanti a suonare

un pezzo buono per la pancia

ha, nanananana le dita gialle fra il bianco e il nero

e, nanananana forse un pò si diverte sul giro in sol



balla la ballerina del carillon

La Ballerina Del Carillon

This track by Ligabue stands as a defining example of the Italian new wave movement that emerged in the late 1980s. The song blends electronic textures with a melodic, almost operatic vocal delivery, creating a sound that was both futuristic and deeply emotional. Released during a period when Ligabue was establishing his signature style, the recording captures the tension between urban isolation and romantic longing that would become central to his discography. The composition features a distinctive carillon motif that drives the rhythm, grounding the ethereal atmosphere in a specific, haunting musical identity. It remains a staple of the genre, illustrating how Ligabue successfully integrated pop sensibilities with a darker, more atmospheric aesthetic that influenced subsequent Italian indie and electronic acts.
