Latvia: Rai Uno interviews Roberto Meloni

by Stella Floras 127 views

Roberto Meloni, the (veritable) Italian member of Bonaparti.lv, will be interviewed on one of the most highly watched RAI Uno programmes “Festa Italiana” tomorrow, April 2 at 14.10 – 16.15 local time (GMT+2).

RAI Uno, who was responsible for Italy's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, seems to be keeping an eye on the contest still. And the fact that one other country participates singing in Italian cannot have escaped them.

Roberto was born in Sardinia and left for Latvia to teach Italian. There, he not only embraced his new homeland but made a career in singing as well. He took part in several musical projects such as Factory of Talents, Duo Elizabet e Roberto, West Side Story among others, becoming very popular with the Latvian public.

In 2007 Roberto has the honor to represent Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest with Bonaparti.lv, having won the Eirodziesma by a landslide. Together with Normunds Jakušonoks, Zigfrīds Muktupāvels, Andris Ābelīte, Andris Ērglis and Kaspars Tīmanis, these Latvian Casanovas will attempt to steal Europe's hearts serenading in Italian with Questa Notte.
The CD single

Questa notte ( Music Kjell Jennstig , Lyrics Torbjorn Wassenius and Francesca Russo)

E´ il sorriso dolce da bambina che m´ incanta
E mi fa vibrare il cuor
E´ il mare in questi occhi verdi che mi chiama
E mi fa sentire l´ amor
Quando sembra buio tu mi fai veder il sole
Voglio stare qui con te
Vivere per te solo per te
Questa notte sara´
L´ immensita´
L´ amore tra noi mai piu´ finira´
Ora e poi e sempre di piu´
Questa notte per sempre sara´
Il profumo della pelle tua mi invita
A scoprire quel che non so
Fra le tante stelle tu mi fai scoprir la luna
E mi fa cantare l´ amor
Quando perdo la speranza tu mi dai la mano
Voglio stare qui con te
Vivere per te, solo per te
Questa notte sara´
L´immensita´
L´amore tra noi mai piu´ finira´
Ora e poi e sempre di piu´
Per la ragione che sai solo tu
Sai solo tu
Questa notte sara´
L´immensita´
L´amore tra noi mai piu´ finira´
Ora e poi e sempre di piu´
Questa notte per sempre sara´
Questa notte per sempre sara´

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
