(Testo e musica di Valentina Mattarozzi)
(Editore Azzurra Music)
La frase "per sempre" esiste solamente nelle favole
e tu l'hai capito
mentre perdevi la tua libertà.
Nella guerra e nel dolore un'amore si è perduto,
anche se in quel momento portavi in grembo il suo frutto.
E domani si vedrà
lui non ti capirà,
nel turbinio
in quel destino sei caduta in un baleno.
Com'eri bella,
ma tu pensavi ad altro,
dietro un sorriso celavi un'ombra,
un senso di giustizia insoddisfatta.
Per l'amore in divisa vivesti la tua vita di vergogna;
quell'amore perduto
per cui qualcun altro poi pagherà.
Scivolati nell'oblio di un castigo senza fine,
tornaste a casa con la sorpresa di chi non comprende la propria vita.
E domani partirà,
lui non ritornerà,
perdutamente,
inseguirai quei bei ricordi ormai perduti.
Eppure un senso l'avrà avuta questa storia,
che hai vissuto
come in un limbo,
ma era semplice come un sorriso a primavera.
E quel frutto del passato,
che poco tu hai amato,
eppure vi ha salvato
e ti ha amato.
VALENTINA MATTAROZZI Bolognese di nascita, artista a tutto tondo, studia danza classica per dieci anni e calca i palchi teatrali anche come attrice e autrice. A 6 anni inizia a suonare il pianoforte e 14 a comporre. Studia canto lirico, conservatorio Martini di Bologna e Frescobaldi di Ferrara, ma la sua innata curiosità la porta a scoprire tanti generi musicali, (dal pop al rock, dal blues alla fusion). Ed è proprio la mescolanza di tutto questo che la rende unica. Il suo primo vero grande amore è, e rimane, il Jazz che è la sua principale fonte di ispirazione anche quando compone. Collabora con vari artisti bolognesi tra cui Annibale Modoni, Teo Ciavarella, Felice Del Gaudio, Carlo Atti e Lele Barbieri. Dal 2013 è la vocalist della famosa Doctor Dixie jazz band, che ha visto collaborazioni con Gerry Mullighan, Lucio Dalla, Pupi Avati e Renzo Arbore. Alternando attività musicali e teatrali, è la protagonista di "Lady Day - Omaggio a Billie Holiday" (nel ruolo di Billie Holiday) per la regia di Massimo Macchiavelli e ancora in "Ladies sing the blues", viaggio attraverso la storia e le sonorità blues già portate alla ribalta da grandi interpreti femminili come Bessie Smith e Janis Joplin. Si cimenta anche nella scrittura teatrale, debuttando con "Io sono Billie", spettacolo anche questo, incentrato sulla vita di Billie Holiday. Nel 2014 debutta con l'album di inediti "Vally Doo", entrando in top ten e top twenty delle classifiche radiofoniche. Nel 2017 pubblica l'album "I am Billie - Tribute to Billie Holiday", per cui riceve pubblicamente i complimenti da parte del gruppo vocal jazz più famoso al mondo "The Manhattan Transfer". Ad aprile 2020 durante il periodo di lockdown ha partecipato all'iniziativa #jazzadomicilio organizzato dal Bologna Jazz Festival ed il 30 maggio 2020 è stata la cantante del primo concerto in Italia "in condominio", dopo il lockdown, esibendosi con il trio del Maestro Teo Ciavarella a "Borgo Masini". Ha di recente pubblicato "Fragili" e "Nostalgie" brani che come "L'amore perduto" saranno inclusi nel suo nuovo album in uscita a maggio 2021.
