Gigliola Cinquetti – Non Ho L’Età – Eurovision Song Contest Winner 1964 (original performance)
March 9th, 2010
This is a complete sound recording & all the available video (the originals were destroyed, but film clips are resurfacing) from the original performance in Copenhagen. I’ve put it together from various sources. EDIT I now have even more video to add, as soon as I can. Then only 16 years old, Gigliola had what is still the highest ever percentage of “1st place” scores in the contest… 8 out of 15 possible, or 53.3%. Points scored were ‘only’ 49 but changes to the scoring system mean that points scores are not directly comparable from year to year. Just listen to the thunderous applause she received at the end!
There is no complete video recording of the 1964 contest still in existence, and none of this winning song. But short film clips have been found and complete recordings of the radio broadcast survive. It seems that the broadcaster’s video of the contest was destroyed, either deliberately because it was not thought to be worth keeping, or accidentally in a fire at the DR (Denmark) Studios in the 1970’s. No other broadcaster kept a recording of the 1964 show and the longest video of the winning performance that I have found is about one minute long. I have extended this to match the complete sound recording by re-using parts of the video where suitable, and by inserting stills.
Gigliola Cinquetti has been a well known singer in Italy, parts of Europe, South America and Japan, ever since her Eurovision win… including subsequent appearances in the same contest as singer (”Si”, or “Go” in English, came 2nd to Abba’s Waterloo in 1974 and was a UK top ten hit) and in 1991 as a host. She remains a well known singer in Italy and from time to time, a TV presenter too. She has released many hit albums there.
Her record of this song (sung in Italian) entered the UK singles charts in 1964, reaching no. 17 and remaining in the chart (full chart not just top 20) for a remarkable 17 weeks, something that few other Eurovision songs (only one or two) have achieved, though others have sold many more copies, of course. Before winning Eurovision, Gigliola also won the San Remo Song Contest with the same song – there are complete video recordings of that on the Internet and you can tell the difference because at San Remo, she wore a light coloured dress but at Eurovision a dark one.
LYRICS:
Non ho l’età, non ho l’età per amarti
Non ho l’età per uscire sola con te
E non avrei, non avrei nulla da dirti
Perchè tu sai molte più cose di me
Lascia ch’io viva un amore romantico
Nell’attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no
Non ho l’età, non ho l’età per amarti
Non ho l’età per uscire sola con te
Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi
Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te
Lascia ch’io viva un amore romantico
Nell’attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no
Non ho l’età, non ho l’età per amarti
Non ho l’età per uscire sola con te
Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi
Quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore… per te.
IN ENGLISH
The lyrics are about someone not yet old enough to be romantically involved with the older, more experienced person they love… too young for them even to go out alone together. But if they are willing to wait, one day, the romance will be complete.
That’s more or less the story, awww! The words were a bit controversial though at the time, and the original lyrics never to my knowledge had an official English translation using the same storyline. I think that’s a pity as it was not advocating young love, it was advising young people to be patient and wait!

Someone asks about these machines every few months and finding the manual is next to impossible.
You may have some luck with contacting Singer. http://www.singerco.com/company/contact_us.html
What are the earpeices in singers ears for when onstage?
March 7th, 2010Just curious… You know how like, on the Grammys or something you see earpieces in the singers ear while performing on stage… What is that used for?
Actually, nobody got it quite right. It’s used in place of a monitor. A monitor speaker is one that is pointed at the performer so they can hear themselves on stage. Instead of having even more noise, and possible feedback, from a speaker blasting into the microphone, they use an earpiece instead.
What was the name of the singer on Icarly?
March 7th, 2010In the episode when nevel takes control of icarly then Carly calls the millitary over to stop him.then in the last part these singers sing.Can u tell me whats the guys name is?

Setting up a Knitting Machine Part 1
March 6th, 2010
In this video I start to set up a machine for the first time. I own a similar machine. This machine happens to be for sale. (July 08 I’ll update this when sold)
Anyway, I thought this would be a unique opportunity to go through the first real run through on a machine.
Handy for new machine knitters or folks who want to look at how they should look at their machines.
