Je Sto Vicino A Te
Pino Daniele · Other Songs - Pino Daniele
Cu ciento strilla attuorno
Je sto vicino a te
Fin'a che nun duorme
Je sto vicino a te
Pecchè 'o munno è spuorco
E nun cercà 'e sape'
Meglio che duorme
Ma che parlamme a fà
Sempe de stesse cose
Pe' ce ntussecà
E nun ce 'ncuntrà ogne vota
C'arraggia 'ncuorpo e chi
Jesce pazzo tutt'e juorne pe' capì.
Je sto vicino a te
Pe' nun piglià cadute
Je sto sempe cu te
'ncoppa 'a sagliuta
Je sto vicino a te
E ciento strilla attuorno
Nun me fanno sentì
Si staje scetata o duorme.

As a staple of his discography, the recording showcases his mastery of vocal phrasing and his ability to evoke a sense of intimacy and warmth, making it a defining piece of his contribution to the global music landscape.
