Se Telefonado - Mina

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTJSn8Mijbw

Un brano di cui diventa  subito motivo portante e sorregge un testo che racconta la    fine telefonica   di un amore.    ( M.L. ) . Più esattamente di una passione intensa, improvvisa e delicata che si spegne così velocemente da non dare a nessuno il tempo di una spiegazione dell'accaduto. Il famoso testo al condizionale «Se, telefonando, io potessi dirti addio, ti chiamerei...» ben trasmette questa sensazione di impotenza e incompiutezza.

Se Telefonando enumerates among its authors top names in the television panorama of Italian music, including Ghigo De Chiara and Maurizio Costanzo for text and Ennio Morricone, all committed to set up a new repertoire for the singer, on the eve of his third consecutive run transmission Studio One Subsequently Morricone will leave the simple construction of commercial music to devote himself to more advanced forms of composition

Mina has the song for the first time on television during the sixteenth episode (the first cycle with the singer) Studio One of 28 May 1966. [5] The video of this performance is in the DVD The years 1965-1966 Rai vol. 8, contained in a 10-volume monographic box set published by Rai Trade and GSU in 2008.

Born as the theme song for the new television variety show (sort of spin-off of the former Studio One) entitled Air Conditioning and De Chiara Costanzo and one of the authors,  originally it had a slightly different text version. As the same Costanzo later explained in an interview, when singer recording and authors realized that the verse "Then in the darkness suddenly your hand on mine," could give rise to double meanings and intervention by of the strict censorship of the time. Costanzo resolved the ambiguity of the phrase correcting concordances in the plural "Then suddenly in the darkness your hands on mine," but at the time of final registration Mina proposed and obtained permission to affect both versions. The second, correct, became famous and was a great success; the first, original, initially set aside, appeared only in Mina Gold Collection 2 of 1999.

Although the song is 'difficult' because of the tone and voice of the extension leaps required to sing it, the interpretation and the voice of Mina will reveal once again ineccepibil

L'introduzione di fiati ispirata, per ammissione dello stesso Morricone, alle sirene della polizia di Marsiglia, apre un brano di cui diventa subito motivo portante e sorregge un testo che racconta la fine telefonica di un amore.  Più esattamente di una passione intensa, improvvisa e delicata che si spegne così velocemente da non dare a nessuno il tempo di una spiegazione dell'accaduto. Il famoso testo al condizionale «Se, telefonando, io potessi dirti addio, ti chiamerei...» ben trasmette questa sensazione di impotenza e incompiutezza.
