He has performed in countless live concerts and has collaborated with Italian artists such as Lucio Battisti, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Renato Zero, Antonello Venditti, Biagio Antonacci and Umberto Tozzi.

Il Chitarrista : youtu.be/MQlkIf7C4is

 

The guitarist.

 

Lord, it's been a honest mistake

Turn a blind eye on your guitarist

Lord, if you throw a lightning bolt

Miss me, please, don't hurt me

I swear, on my knees, here in the middle of the dance floor

I swear on my Fender, I didn't do it on purpose

So, Lord, it's been a honest mistake

Turn a blind eye on your guitarist

 

I don't know how, but it happened

He came in the pub with her and they sit down

I was there, allured

Her sexual charm was spreading in the club

And I...was sick with desire

 

So I got closer

And I proposed him to play poker

I had a full, he had two pairs

How can you raise the stake? You've got nothing else but her

"If I lose, she's yours"

 

Lord, it's been a honest mistake

Turn a blind eye on your guitarist

Lord, I swear, it's been a honest mistake

Turn a blind eye on your guitarist

 

Her strings vibrated

In one night I've burnt that dream out

While she was sleeping, I ran away

With numb legs, my shoes still untied

With numb legs, my shoes still untied, and...

With my deck of rigged cards
