The year that is coming | in a year it will pass, | I'm getting ready: | this is the news. (from The Year to Come, side B, n. 5)

More quotes by Lucio Dalla

Christian faith is my only fixed point, it is the only certainty I have.

I have always had a great passion for Naples, for its culture, from writing to philosophy to songs: it is a city that has always captured me.

If today you hear the songs broadcast by the first five-six networks, they are always those songs that circulate... The curious thing is that even today, very often you hear the songs of Gaetano.

(About Rino Gaetano) I believe that in the category, let's say, "songwriters" he was the most anomalous compared to the rule.
