Backing Tracks

E La Vita, La Vita

Ponzoni and Pozzetto were childhood friends, and they grew accustomed to perform together in front of an audience of friends and relatives. Their professional debut took place in 1965 in the small cabaret club Cab 64 in Milan, and the couple became first known in the late 1960s thanks to the RAI innovative variety shows Quelli della domenica (1968) and È domenica, ma senza impegno (1969).

Characterized by a peculiar comic verve, filled with paradoxical and surreal moods, their popularity increased in the early 1970s with the variety show Il poeta e il contadino and with the participation with the musical show Canzonissima. The couple began to crack in 1974, when Pozzetto started devoting himself to a full-time film career. After a long separation, Ponzoni and Pozzetto reunited in 2000s for a series of television and stage projects.

Cochi e Renato were also very active as singer-songwriters (often with the collaboration of Enzo Jannacci), and they had several commercial hits, their most successful song is “E la vita la vita”, which reached the first place at the Italian charts in 1974.

Lyrics

There is, there are those who suffer only from love
Who continues to make the penalty wrong
There are those who one day have suffered
And then he said “I leave
But where I go if I leave
Always admitted that I leave”
Hello

To those who make a fuss (Hi!)
To those who instead poison the bissies
One only pulls the right
The other has had a left hand
And there is always someone who leaves
But where he arrives if he leaves

And, life is life
And life is beautiful, it is beautiful
It is enough to have the umbrella, the umbrella
It repairs your head
It looks like a day of celebration
And, life is life
And life is strange, it’s weird
A person is enough, person
Who is assembled the head
The party is over

There are those who one day made a fury
And it has not changed its color yet
Some people eat too much soup
Who is forced to jump the window
And, there is always there what leaves
But where it comes from if it starts
Hello

To those who only hear the radio
And then make a mistake in going to the stadium
There are those at the bottom of his heart who have a pain
There are those who have another problem
And there is always the one who leaves
But where he arrives if he leaves

And, life is life
And life is beautiful, it’s beautiful
It is enough to have an umbrella, the umbrella
shelters your head, it seems a day of celebration

And, life is life
And life is beautiful, it is beautiful
It is enough to have the umbrella, the umbrella
It repairs your head
It looks like a day of celebration

And, life is life
And life is strange, it’s strange It’s
enough a person, person
That you assemble your head, the party is over
