Mina, the singer who grew up in Cremona, released \u00abSe telefonando\u00bb as a Ri-Fi single in May 1966; Ennio Morricone wrote the music. The title means roughly \u201cIf I were on the phone\u201d, and that is the point: a brief, intense love affair that a woman wants to end without having to look the man in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Sixty years later, the song has been certified platinum and is considered by many to be Mina\u2019s finest recording. Nek won the cover night at the Sanremo Festival with it in 2015, Franco Battiato and Il Volo have sung it, and you recognise Morricone\u2019s siren motif within two seconds.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC;

She was born on 25 March 1940 in Busto Arsizio, north of Milan, and grew up in Cremona, the violin-making city on the Po. By 1966 she was already a star and was hosting \u00abStudio Uno\u00bb for the second time, Rai\u2019s major Saturday-night show directed by Antonello Falqui.<\/p>\n<p>The song itself was intended for another programme. Maurizio Costanzo, then a young television writer and later Italy\u2019s best-known talk-show host, wrote the theme tune for the Rai programme \u00abAria condizionata\u00bb, meaning \u201cair conditioning\u201d, with playwright Ghigo De Chiara. The music was entrusted to Ennio Morricone, the composer from Rome who had become famous for his Western scores for Sergio Leone. He also arranged the piece and conducted the orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>Morricone gave the two lyricists an unusual brief. He asked them to think of the Marseille police sirens, because he based the main theme on three notes from those sirens. Costanzo brought in the telephone, which was appearing in more and more Italian homes. In Rai\u2019s studios on Via Teulada in Rome, Morricone played the song for Mina on the piano; she asked for the lyrics and immediately sang it.<\/p>\n<p>On 28 May 1966, Mina presented \u00abSe telefonando\u00bb on \u00abStudio Uno\u00bb. The single, with \u00abNo\u00bb on the B-side, appeared that same month. The song was also included on \u00abStudio Uno 66\u00bb, one of Italy\u2019s best-selling albums of the year. The single now has a platinum certification from FIMI, the Italian music industry association, for 70.000 units.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABSe_telefonando%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abSe telefonando\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abSe telefonando\u00bb tells of the end of a love affair that grew too quickly. A woman wants to say goodbye and wishes she could do it over the phone because she lacks the courage to say it to his face.<\/p>\n<p>The song is no lament. The singer remains clear-headed and almost matter-of-fact, taking stock while openly admitting her weakness. That attitude suits Mina, who had thoroughly overturned the image of the dutiful Italian pop singer in the sixties.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Der_Text_Strophe_fur_Strophe\"><\/span>The Lyrics, Verse by Verse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find the full lyrics on Spotify and Apple Music; here we focus on their imagery. At the start, the singer recalls a night by the sea when two strangers met. In the darkness they suddenly grew close, and the surprise soon became a great love.<\/p>\n<p>Then the mood changes. The love has grown too quickly, and the singer senses that it is over. She wants to say goodbye, but not face to face. If she could do it by telephone, she would call: that thought gives the song its title.<\/p>\n<p>In the chorus, the voice climbs the scale while the brass repeats the siren motif. The word <em>telefonando<\/em>, meaning \u201con the phone\u201d, becomes a symbol of everything two people can no longer say to each other directly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-note\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">GOOD TO KNOW<\/div>\n<p>Mina recorded \u00abSe telefonando\u00bb twice. Costanzo changed one line during the recording because it sounded ambiguous and Rai kept a strict watch on its content at the time. The original version remained in the archives for more than thirty years and appeared only in 1999 on the collection \u00abMina Gold 2\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warum_klingt_Morricones_Arrangement_so_modern\"><\/span>Why does Morricone\u2019s arrangement sound so modern?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Morricone built the song like a miniature film score. Trumpets carry the melody, backed by driving drums, strings, a female chorus in the style of European pop of the sixties and deep, rumbling trombones. Above it all is the siren motif, running through the piece like an alarm signal.<\/p>\n<p>Several key changes in the chorus keep increasing the tension. That makes the song a test for singers, as it demands a wide vocal range. The Italian edition of Rolling Stone counts \u00abSe telefonando\u00bb among Morricone\u2019s greatest pop works.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABSe_telefonando%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abSe telefonando\u00bb on video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the top of this article, you can hear the original 1966 recording on Mina\u2019s official channel.

That same year it was sung by Iva Zanicchi, the singer from Emilia who won the Sanremo Festival three times. Mina herself recorded an English version for the overseas market at the end of 1966. Later versions followed from the Italian electropop band Delta V in 2005, Roman singer-songwriter Claudio Baglioni in 2006 and Northern Irish musician Neil Hannon in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>The most successful new version is by Nek, the pop singer from the Modena area. He sang \u00abSe telefonando\u00bb during the cover night at the Sanremo Festival in February 2015 and won the award for best reinterpretation. His studio recording sold more than 50.000 copies in Italy.
