Piedmontese (from Piemonte, an Italian region) singer-songwriter and pianist, Paolo Conte is very representative of Italian music. After his unsuccessful debut in the world of records with his Jazz quartet in 1965, he takes long time before becoming famous throughout Italy. In fact, his career begins to shine only in 1981 with his album “Paris Milonga” and in particular with his song “Via Con Me”, characterized by jazzed and a little bit swinged rhythms, which will become symbol of his style and his personality.
So let’s listen to this beautiful song. And let’s play it too! I hope somebody of you will appreciate the surprise of its sheet music!

Italian lyrics
Via, via, vieni via di qui,
niente più ti lega a questi luoghi,
neanche questi fiori azzurri…
via, via, neanche questo tempo grigio
pieno di musiche
e di uomini che ti sono piaciuti…
It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful,
good luck my babe,
it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful,
I dream of you…
chips, chips, du-du-du-du-du
Via, via, vieni via con me,
entra in questo amore buio,
non perderti per niente al mondo…
via, via, non perderti per niente al mondo
lo spettacolo d’arte varia
di uno innamorato di te…
It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful…
Via, via, vieni via con me,
entra in questo amore buio,
pieno di uomini…
via, entra e fatti un bagno caldo,
c’è un accappatoio azzurro,
fuori piove un mondo freddo…
It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful…
English translation
Away, away, come away from here
Nothing more binds you to these places
Neither do these blue flowers…
Away, away, neither this grey sky
Full of melodies
And of men you really liked
It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful,
good luck my babe,
It’s wonderful, It’s wonderful, It’s wonderful,
I dream of you…
chips, chips, du-du-du-du-du
Away, away, come away with me
Enter this dark love
Don’t lose yourself for anything in the world…
Away, away, don’t lose yourself for anything in the world
The art show changes
For somebody in love with you…
It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful…
Away, away, come away with me
Enter this dark love
Full of men…
Away, enter and have a warm bathe,
there’s a blue bathrobe,
Outside it’s raining a cold world …
It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful, it’s wonderful…
