Mengoni’s comment: “It’s a song full of graces”
“Dear faraway love is a song by Sergio Endrigo, unpublished until now. It was an honor to receive this gift … I sang it with all the respect, esteem and love that bind me to Endrigo“.
And he concluded: “It is a song full of graces and my biggest thanks goes, once again, to Claudia Endrigo who allowed this to happen ». We still don’t know anything about this song. Alone a small part of the textwhich reveals the poem it contains: “You will find me there with you every day, in the days I would like and our song it will come from my lips to yours… ».
