About Sei Bellissima

"Sei bellissima" is an Italian ballad song written by Claudio Daiano and Gian Pietro Felisatti and performed by Loredana Bertè. During the years Bertè claimed to be the actual composer of the song, but that at the time she was unable to sign it as she was not a member of SIAE. According to Bertè, lyrics were inspired by her relationship with Adriano Panatta. The musical arrangement by Vince Tempera was inspired by Riccardo Cocciante's "Bella senz'anima". The song premiered at the 1975 Un disco per l'estate, being eliminated from the competition; nevertheless, the single was a commercial success, peaking at the thirteenth place on the Italian singles chart. The song was the first hit for Bertè, following the commercial failure of her debut album Striking. The verse "a letto mi diceva sempre non vali che un po' più di niente" (i.e. "in bed he used to say 'you are not worth a bit more than anything'") was initially censored and replaced by "e poi mi diceva sempre non vali che un po' più di niente" ("and then he used to say 'you are not worth a bit more than anything'"). A version with the original lyrics was eventually released the same year.

Che strano uomo avevo io
Con gli occhi dolci quanto basta
Per farmi dire sempre
Sono ancora tua
E mi mancava il terreno
Quando si addormentava sul mio seno
E lo scaldavo al fuoco umano
Della gelosia
Che strano uomo avevo io
Mi teneva sotto braccio
E se cercavo di essere seria
Per lui ero solo un pagliaccio
A letto mi diceva sempre
Non vali che un po' più di niente
Io mi vestivo di ricordi
Per affrontare il presente
E ripensavo ai primi tempi
Quando ero innocente
A quando avevo nei capelli
La luce rossa dei coralli
Quando ambiziosa come nessuna
Mi specchiavo nella luna
E lo obbligavo a dirmi sempre

Sei bellissima
Sei bellissima
Accecato d'amore, mi stava a guardare
Sei bellissima
Sei bellissima
Accecato d'amore, mi stava a guardare

Se pesco chi un giorno ha detto
Che il tempo è un gran dottore
Lo lego a un sasso stretto stretto
E poi lo butto in fondo al mare
Sono passati buoni buoni
Un paio d'anni e di stagioni
Ho avuto un sacco di avventure
Niente di particolare
Ma io uscivo a cercarti
Nelle strade fra la gente
Mi sembrava di voltarmi
All'improvviso
E vederti nuovamente
E mi sembra di sentire ancora

Sei bellissima
Sei bellissima
Accecato d'amore
Mi stava a guardare
Sei bellissima
Sei bellissima
Accecato d'amore, mi stava a guardare

Sei bellissima (sei bellissima)
Accecato d'amore, mi stava a guardare
