Noemi was born Veronica Scopelliti on January 25, 1982 in Roma, Italy. She first achieved fame last year by participating as a competitor in the Italian version of the television talent show X Factor. Despite not winning she signed a record contract with Sony and so far she has released four singles, an EP and her first album Sulla mie pelle was released just over a year ago, achieving double platinum sales, that is over 125,000 copies sold by the spring of this year. A very high ranking achievement for first album sales.
Per Tutta La Vita – For All My Life was the third single released by Noemi in February 2010 and it was Number One in the Italian Single Charts for a total of three weeks during February and March.
It is often played on the radio here and this young artist seems to be gaining in popularity here in Italy.
More biographical and career information can be found about Noemi on both Wikipedia and her Official Website it is from these sites and YouTube that I have found out all my information when researching this post. On YouTube there are also some interviews conducted by the Radio station RDS which if you can understand Italian are interesting.
‘Per tutta la vita’
per tutta la vita
andare avanti
cercare i tuoi occhi
negli occhi degli altri
far finta di niente
far finta che oggi
sia un giorno normale
un anno che passa
un anno in salita
che senso di vuoto
che brutta ferita
delusa da te, da me,da quello che non ti ho dato.
per tutta la vita cercare un appiglio
l’autunno che passa
ma forse sto meglio
trovarsi per caso
in un bar del centro e sentirsi speciale
ma l’amore è distratto
l’amore è confuso
tu non arrabbiarti, ma io non ti perdono
delusa da te, da me, da quello che non mi hai
dato… mai…
esplode
il cuore
distante
anni luce fuori da me
sei colpa mia
la gelosia
infrange tutto e resta niente
le solite scuse
le solite storie
bugie, speranze
a volte l’amore
mi guardo allo specchio
mi trovo diversa
mi trovo migliore
un nuovo anno che passa
un nuovo anno in salita
che senso di vuoto
che brutta ferita
ferita da te, da me, da quello che non c’è stato
mai
esplode
il cuore
distante
anni luce fuori da me
sei colpa mia
la gelosia
infrange tutto e resta niente qui
per tutta la vita andare avanti
un anno in salita per me per te per me per te
per me
esplode
il cuore
distante
anni luce fuori da me
sei colpa mia
la gelosia
infrange tutto e resta niente qui

Buono Domenica a Tutti
Love her, great choice Linda ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Lindy Lou! Thanks for dropping in before. Sorry I wasn't ready. I was late because I couldn't access a computer...can you believe that my laptop broke on Friday! First our house is flooded and now my computer is dead! What a week I am having!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed today's song. She has an unusually mature voice doesn't she? I think Maddy would like this too, especially the string section in the middle of the song. Thanks for telling me all about Noemi.
Best wishes and happy Sunday!
Natasha.
This song reminds of another song... Do you know Nek? I forgot if I already asked you or not...?? Happy Sunday to you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindy Lou!
ReplyDeleteI smiled at these two lines...
"far finta che oggi
sia un giorno normale"
Pretend that today is a normal day ~
Christian writer, Patsy Clairmont, wrote once "Normal is a setting on my dryer." I always laugh when I think of that and when I try to imagine what "Normal" really is!
I really like Noemi's voice... she sings in my range {which is on the low side} and it's easy for me to sing along!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
blessings to you always,
Maria
I do love Noemi! I'm following since I firstly heard of her on X-Factor.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this and think I might have listened to it before but am not sure when/where. Some of her stuff mixed in a playlist would make for a great get-together.
ReplyDeleteAlessandra - I am pleased you also enjoy her.
ReplyDeleteNatasha - Oh dear, you are not having a very good time at the moment! I read somewhere her voice has been compared to Janis Joplin?
Leesa - I do not know what Nek tune this reminds you of? I Have featured Nek on Sunday Song in the past and am sure I will do so again.
Maria - Love the quote, exactly what is a normal day?
Dona - She is good, but I only discovered her recently as I do not watch the X Factor, never did in the UK either.
citymouse - Yes you could make an Italian mix :)
What a lovely voice..Enjoyed the song..even if I didn't understand it..ha, ha..Always fun to visit your blog..
ReplyDeleteRosebud - I started including the words recently for those that like to follow along,as readers thought it was a good idea. Would you like the English translations included, sometimes they just do not sound right though? Or you could always try a translation site?
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind to think of that..I was following the words in Italian..but didn't know what they were saying..Would you believe I have a tape for learning Italian..now maybe I will listen to it..I have such great ideas, but put them on back burner..now this is a reason to learn..(I should say, hope to learn)...
ReplyDeleteThanks again..
Rosebud - It seems like it is an old Brenda Lee song, found the translation here for you
ReplyDeletehttp://lyrics.filestube.com/song/3465869af56645af03e9,I-Want-to-Be-Wanted-Per-Tutta-la-Vita.html
I am not convinced, this translation does not look right to me! I am going to ask one of the Italians that has commented to check!
ReplyDeleteMaria- Any chance you can help I do not think this translation is for the right song do you? I cannot see anything about a normal day!!
Hi Lindy Lou!
ReplyDeleteHere's the Italian to English translation
from Google Translator...
I understand the Italian without this... fairly well... but thought I'd bring this to the discussion :o)
'All my life'
lifelong
go
check your eyes
in the eyes of others
chicken out
pretend that today
is a normal day
a year goes by
a year to climb
that empty feeling
what an ugly wound
disappointed in you, from me, from what I have not given.
lifelong search for a foothold
Autumn passes
but maybe I'm better
to be the case
in a downtown bar and feel special
but love is distracted
love is confusing
You do not get angry, but I forgive you
disappointed in you, from me, from what I have
... ever since ...
explodes
heart
distant
light-years out of me
it's my fault
jealousy
breaks everything and nothing remains
the usual excuses
the usual stories
lies, hopes
Sometimes love
I look in the mirror
I am different
I am better
a new year that passes
A new year up
that empty feeling
what an ugly wound
injury to you, from me, from what there was
never
explodes
heart
distant
light-years out of me
it's my fault
jealousy
breaks everything and still nothing here
for life to go on
a year climbing to me for you for me for you
for me
explodes
heart
distant
light-years out of me
it's my fault
jealousy
breaks everything and still nothing here
It's not like the Brenda Lee song at all ~
I hope this helps !!!
*have a wonderful Wednesday*
~ Maria
Maria - Thanks so much. My doubts were right then, I thought the translation just did not seem correct! Goodness knows why it says Per Tutta La Vita with that Brenda Lee Link? Just shows you cannot trust the web!
