An oldie I still like to listen to - Montagne verdi (Green Mountains)
That is definitely an oldie but a goodie. I always think of my dad's mountains when I hear that song.
Can you believe the hair, though? Oy Vey! It's always a shock looking at the fashion and hair styles of past decades.
I was having a discussion about jealousy on a thread recently and started thinking about songs about it. Spoilt for choice in the realm of Italian music!
We obviously listen to very different Italian radio stations. I like Massimo Ranieri, however. I've posted a lot of his work over on the Italian folksong and dialect thread.

As you say you're a dialect speaker you won't need my translations.
You might also like Gigi d'Alessio.
This is more on my wave length as far as current actual singers in Italian are concerned.

Yes I do , Gigi is very good, for me this is my favourite song from him.

Yes very true I prefer classic Italian music and dialect music
The radio station in Montreal is on an AM channel and they always play the classics. Actually maybe you can help me, the last time I went to Italy 11 years ago there was a song that I really liked but could never find it again, the chorus contains "Stop! Domentica per che" I was 11 its hard to remember the rest of the lyrics.
You probably had trouble finding it because "domentica" is neither standard Italian nor dialect. Domenica would mean Sunday. Dimentica would mean forget. Perhaps you meant the Tiziano Ferro song "Stop...Dimentica". This is the English translation.
"One look that breaks the silence
One look has said what I think
One, one look
One look could last whole day
The departure without coming back
One, one look
Everything that I know, I will tell you
And everything that you don't know
to say, the sea explains
I feel something big
bigger than this town
The lie that breaks every silence
is the lie that I say only if I dont think
Please don't stop now
Because later you cant
Stop, forget about it
This silence
isn't worth a word
not even one, and therefore
Stop, Forget because
everything will go its way
forget because
forget for me
One great story as a world
one story long as a day
One, one story
One lie of only one word
is your most charming story
One, your story
Stop, forget about it
This silence
isn't worth a word
not even one, and therefore
Stop, Forget because
everything will go its way
forget because
forget for me
Stop, forget about it
This silence
isn't worth a word
not even one, and therefore
Stop, Forget because
everything will go its way
forget because
forget for me
Everything that I know I will tell you
Everything that you don't know to say, the sea will explain
Please don't stop
Now, because later you cant
Stop, forget about it
This silence
isn't worth a word
not even one, and therefore
Stop, Forget because
everything will go its way
forget because
forget for me
Stop! forget
it isn't worth a word
not even one, and therefore
Stop! Forget because
everything will go its way
forget because
forget for me
stop! forget
