Climax Song


Can anyone tell me, which was the song being played in climax?

reply

Do you mean the duet that was being performed on stage as the singer invited the caretaker Maria to join in with him? If so, the title for that was listed in the credits as 'Felicita'. The performers name was given as Lado [or possibly Lalo?], I believe, but as it seemed to be being performed live (the actress Léa Seydoux was co-credited with Lado), I doubt that that exact version would appear on any album besides a soundtrack, which I'm not aware if exists or not.

Hope this helps!

Felicità is originally by Al Bano and Romina Power. it came out in 1982 and the time it was rather successful.

any idea where can i get this song from net.

The use of that song is SO ironic. :-)
The lyrics (quite cheesy) are about finding happiness in the little things ("happiness is a glass of wine and a sandwich... walking hand in hand... an unexpected phone call" etc) and Al Bano and Romina at the time were the epitome of happiness. They had the perfect image of the happy romantic couple, with lots of children. (Years later they were struck by tragedy - one of their daughters disappeared in New Orleans, probably after drowning herself - and they split up after a while. So sad.)

Here are the lyrics in English:

Happiness

Happiness
is holding hands and going away together
happiness
is an innocent look, in the middle of a crowd
happiness
is staying close like children, happiness
happiness

happiness
is a pillow made of feather, the rivers' water
that flows
is the rain going down the roofs
happiness
is turning off the light so peace can rule
happiness
happiness

happiness
is a glass of wine and a sandwich
happiness
is leaving a note inside a drwaer
happiness
is singing together how much I like you
happiness, happiness

You can feel in the air
our love song that flies
like a thought that knows about happiness
You can feel in the air
a warmer ray of sun that flows
like a smile that knows about happiness

happiness
is a night with a surprising full moon
and the radio that is on
Is a 'happy birthday' card full of little hearts
happiness
is an unexpected call
happiness
happiness

Happiness
is a beach at night, the waves that hit the shore
happiness
is a hand full of love put on the heart
happiness
is waiting for the sunrise to do it all over again
happiness, happiness

You can feel in the air
our love song that flies
like a thought that knows about happiness
You can feel in the air
a warmer ray of sun that flows
like a smile that knows about happiness

You can feel in the air
our love song that flies
like a thought that knows about happiness
You can feel in the air
a warmer ray of sun that flows
like a smile that knows about happiness

Yes Felicita, i love the way they used it in the movie.

I watched this film today and when they started to sing Felicità by Al Bano e Romina I nearly died laughing. It's a classic song in Italy, although probably not for the right reasons ;-)

reply

There was another popular Italian pop song at the time, but I can only remember the chorus which went like "Muuuusicaaaa, ......." . It had a groovy rhythm and was sung by a guy. ASny idea what it was?

- don't worry, that's just my signature.

it was a very very popular song in the 80s (and in my country -Turkey). those old enough will immediately recognise it when they hear it.
