Ricchi e Poveri - Un diadema di ciliegie (1972)

Estrema emanazione dello stile "agriturismo-folk" che, in virtù del successo di Che sarà (1971), contraddistingueva gran parte del repertorio del gruppo ligure, all’ora ancora composto da 4 elementi (Marina Occhiena sarà compagna di acuti con la brunetta Angela fino al 1981) e non solo (Montagne verdi di Marcella Bella ne è un ottimo esempio).

Un flauto e una chitarra fanno da base a questo affresco biologico al sapor di Tavernello rosè. Un borgo sperduto, gatti che sonnecchiano, la bella contadina, il fabbro che l’ama, i balli nella vigna fino a notte fonda. In mancanza di un solitario De Beers, lui regala a lei un prestigioso diadema di cieliegie. Che poi, diciamola tutta, se ti vien fame te lo puoi pure mangiare!
Fin qui tutto bene, sempre che non siate già stati divorati dai tafani.
Ma ragazza non gliela da perché vuole almeno un fottutissimo solitario da mezzo carato!
E al fabbro non resta altro che fare che abbandonare la pubblicità del Mulino Bianco e andare a lavorare in catena di montaggio nella grande città.
L’auto-plagio è palese, ma se in Che sarà si toccavano corde più profonde (e poi c’era anche l'intensa interpretazione di Jose Feliciano), qui tutto ha il sapore di un romanzetto d’appendice nonché della presa per il culo. E non migliora certo la situzione il fatto che, a questo punto, il testo diventi abbastanza incomprensibile.
Il neo operaio riceve una lettera che lo prega di tornare sui monti altrimenti qualcuno piangerà. Lui parte e rivede il cielo blu e i ciliegi rimastigli nel cuore. Poi si parla di un angelo che lo sveglierà e avrà per sempre un diadema di ciliegie. Eh????? What?????
Lui è forse morto schiacciato da una pressa e il ritorno al paesino è una metafora dell’ingresso al paradiso? O forse è morta lei per indigestione di ciliegie (o noia, o più probabilmente alcolismo) e lui la rivede sotto forma di creatura angelica?

Cielo blu del mio paese
quattro case e niente più
quattro gatti al sole lassù
fiori rossi dove stai tu
ero il fabbro del villaggio
eri la più bella tu a
io piegavo il ferro ma
pieghi il cuore tu
ballavamo nella vigna
con la luna ed il falò
ed i vecchi a ricordar
l'ora che passò
Un diadema di ciliege
misi sui capelli tuoi
misi sui capelli l'unico gioiello che
posso dare a te
ma un treno passa un treno va
grande città sei sola là
ma amore un vero gioiello andrai
mi aspetterai
poi la tua mano si spegne laggiù
bianca farfalla che non vola più
che non vola più
la catena di montaggio
lega tutti i giorni miei
la catena che ci lega
no, non si spezzerà
no, non si spezzerà
M'hanno scritto dal paese
dicono che lì non va
dicono ragazzi torna presto
torna senno figlio piangerai
cielo blu del mio paese
oggi io ritorno da te
i ciliegi sono lassù
nella terra
Tu va un angelo ti sveglierà
un angelo ti sveglierà
e il cielo ti porterà
un diadema di ciliege
e per sempre tuo sarà.

La canzone, ovviamente, arrivò in finale piazzandosi undicesima, risultato non eclatante ma neanche disprezzabile, ed ebbe un buon successo commerciale.
È incredibile come in Italia il genere "agriturismo-folk", seppur di nicchia, continua a sopravvivere; ne è un esempio la "splendida" Voglio andare a vivere in campagna (leggi il post) di Toto Cutugno.

È doveroso ricordare che il testo è stato scritto dal grande Romano Bertola, pubblicitario torinese autore di alcuni tra i più celeberrimi jingle dei caroselli, come Punt E Mes.

Meraviglia! Ma perché non parlare anche del prezioso carattere tipografico ostentato sulla copertina?
Possibile che Romano Bertola non conoscesse uno straccio di grafico, persino un linotipista che consigliasse loro qualcosa di meno lisergico?

I drop a leave a response when I like a article on a blog or if I have something
to contribute to the conversation. Usually it is a result of the sincerness communicated in the article I looked at.
And after this article "Ricchi e Poveri - Un diadema di ciliegie (1972)".
I was excited enough to leave a comment ;-) I actually do have
a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it look like like some of these responses look like they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I'd like to follow you.
Could you list every one of all your shared pages like your
linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
