Sunday Song – Amici Finalists 2011 - Virginio Simonelli – Annalisa Scarrone

 

Last Sunday evening March 6th 2011 was the final of the tenth edition of the Italian talent show Amici. This year there were three dancers and two singers in the final with a winner in both categories.

The two singing finalists were Virginio Simonelli and Annalisa Scarrone, the winner was decided by audience telephone voting and was neck and neck all evening with the outcome of Virginio winning the public vote and therefore the Amici winner. It was a successful evening also for Annalisa as she won the critics prize and they are both now professional singers with recording contracts to their names. It will be interesting to see what happens to both their careers, as they both now live their dream.

I was a little surprised to discover that Virginio Simonelli has in fact been pursuing a singing career for some years and in 2006 participated unsuccessfully in the youth section of the San Remo Festival, although an album ‘ Virginio’ was released and is available on Italian i-tunes as is the new one ‘Finalmente’ Virginio was born in Fondi, Italy on the 31 January 1985 and has lived in Milan for the last seven years.

The words in Italian for Dolce Notte are on the screen of the video so I have just included a not perfect translation into English.

Now lay those thoughts under your pillow
tries to forget
Watch the air while the world moves smoothly, without making any noise
Now all that force that keeps you close let get away
Love tonight I'll take you with me
Love will guide you tonight because
If before I had a feeling it is only now that I have for me
Sweet night
Now I'll stay and watch while I try to forget in an instant let go of what is trying to start slips slightly
Love tonight I'll take you with me
Love will guide you tonight because
If before I had a feeling it is only now that I have for me
Sweet night (3x)
Love tonight I'll take you with me
Love will guide you tonight because
If before I had a feeling it is only now that I have for me
Sweet night

The words in Italian for Diamante lei e luce lui are on the screen of the video so I have just included a not perfect translation into English.

Tonight the light, you feel important,
looks in the mirror, looking elegant
and there is nothing in the world that can distract
by so much beauty that his diamond is.
The embrace, rejoice, lift if ever fall,
defend, always will be, her diamond and light it.
The embrace, rejoice, cry if you raise
defend, forgive her and diamond is light and he
Forever, forever.
Diamond feels special tonight,
colours the mind, in its entirety,
and there is darkness and solitude
has no power since there is light.
The embrace, rejoice, lift if ever fall,
defend, always you will diamond and light it.
The embrace, rejoice, cry if you raise,
defend, forgive her and diamond is light and he
Forever, forever.
Paint the mind in its entirety tonight
and I always light and you will diamond.
