  • Italy's entry to the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, Sweden.
    Dori Ghezzi & Wess - "Era"
    The song that should have won the contest that year, no contest. An immensely fresh and catchy disco number, coupled with a great performance by both Wess (RIP) and Dori Ghezzi. After almost 40 years, it's still funky. I mean, seriously, this should've walked it. That Teach-In won with "Dinge Dong" is borderline criminal.
    (thanks to Euroensiklopediya for the clip, my DVD copy was past its prime)

      I like this song. Italy has always been my favourite country in ESC. Later on in the 70s Dori Ghezzi was kidnapped by a band of Sardinian bandits wiith her partner at the time, Fabrizio de André.

    Da un po’ di settimane in qua
    Mi sento un’altra donna già
    Che vada tutto a rotoli
    Ora, ora, ora
    Accanto a te, ci sono io
    Amore, sono tutto tuo
    E sembra quasi un secolo
    Quando far l’amore
    Era baciarsi al cinema
    Era la mia domenica
    Era trovare un angolo nascosto
    Era, era
    Era arrossire in pubblico (L’amore)
    Era parlarsi in codice (Di amore)
    Era rientrare prima della sera
    Era
    Le storie che inventavo ai miei
    Le amiche conosciute mai
    La posta tra la biancheria
    Era ora, ora
    Ora sfido il mondo io
    Un amore quando è mio, è mio
    E sembra quasi un secolo
    Quando far l’amore
    Era baciarsi al cinema
    Era la mia domenica
    Era trovare un angolo nascosto
    Era, era
    Era arrossire in pubblico (L’amore)
    Era parlarsi in codice (Di amore)
    Era rientrare prima della sera
    Era, era
    Na na nanana nana… (L’amore)
    Na na nanana nana… (Di amore)
    Era rientrare prima della sera
    Era, era
    Na na nanana nana…
    Na na nanana nana…

    [Eng] "It was" by Dory Ghezzi & Wess
    For a few weeks now
    I've already felt like another woman
    That everything was going to pot
    Now, now, now
    There I am, next to you
    Lover, I'm all yours
    And it almost feels like a century
    When making love

    It was kissing at the cinema
    It was my Sunday
    It was finding a hidden corner
    It was, it was

    It was blushing in public (Love)
    It was speaking in code (About love)
    It was going back home before the evening
    It was

    The stories that I made up for my folks
    The friends I never even knew
    The letters hidden in the laundry
    It was now, now

    Now I'm facing the world
    When a love is mine, mine
    And it almost feels like a century
    When making love

    It was kissing at the cinema
    It was my Sunday
    It was finding a hidden corner
    It was, it was

    It was blushing in public (Love)
    It was speaking in code (About love)
    It was going back home before the evening
    It was, It was

    Na na nanana nana… (Love)
    Na na nanana nana… (About love)
    It was going back home before the evening
    It was, It was

    Na na nanana nana…
    Na na nanana nana…
    Na nana nana na…

    USA 1975: segregated music charts for white and black artists still exist
    Italy 1975: I don't care if you are white, black, green or martian, whoever sings a song completely or mostly in italian can take part in Sanremo festival, win and represent us in Eurovision
    Italy 2018: An albanian-born singer is one of Italy's biggest music stars and everybody loves him representing us in ESC
    Italy 2019: OMG, no way an italian guy born from an egyptian father won Sanremo, ewww, three words in arabic in his song, this is the freaking end of the world!

    Dori Ghezzi & Wess cantan bien pero no hay magia entre ellos, nada!
    Su tercer puesto con 115 puntos es muy injusto, todo un despropósito.
