Pentru cei ce nu știam, cântecul este perla unei scoici solitare, Nino Rosso. A fost o comandă făcută pentru comemorarea eliberării Olandei de către trupele … americane.
Strofa minusculă cuprinde dorul după cei ce sunt foarte departe, dincolo … de posibilitatea de a-i atinge. Explicația din limba engleză, de mai jos, spune că mormintele americanilor au fost ,,adoptate“ de câte o familie olandeză care țin la loc de cinste, în casa lor, un portret al câte unui militar căzut. Odată pe an, de Ziua Eliberării, olandezii dau un concert care se termină invariabil cu această melodie.
Vi-o ofer în interpretarea autorului și a unei puștoaice adolescentine care a făcut furori alături de un mare dirijor care a exploatat la maxim sentimentele olandezilor.
Eu aveam căm 13 ani când am auzit-o prima dată la radio și tare am regretat că nu aveam un pickup sau un magnetofon.

Tratto da “Se non avessi più te” del 1965, versione leggera del “Silenzio fuori ordinanza” suonato nelle caserme.Fu inciso per caso, in un concerto al Palaeur di Roma di fronte a un pubblico militare. L’artista decise di eseguirlo con una malinconica parte recitata nella quale descriveva bene la solitudine del militare di leva che dà una romantica buonanotte alla sua fidanzata lontana, e l’accoglienza fu esplosiva.

ContentsIl Silenzio (The Silence) is an instrumental piece, with a small spoken Italian lyric, notable for its trumpet theme. It was written in 1965 (see “Origin” below) by trumpet playerNini Rosso and Guglielmo Brezza,[1] its thematic melody being an extension of the same Italian Cavalry bugle call used by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky to open hisCapriccio Italien (often mistaken for the U.S. military bugle call “Taps”.) It has become a worldwide instrumental standard, which has sold around 10 million copies.[2] It was a number one hit in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and sold over five million copies by the end of 1967. Rosso was awarded a gold disc.[3] On 9 January 1965 it reached the Number 1 position in Australia and stayed in the charts for 19 weeks, and in the United Kingdom it peaked at number 8 on the Record Retailer singles chart. In the United States it reached #32 in the Billboard Easy Listening Charts.
Il Silenzio contains the following spoken lines:
- Buona notte, amore
- Ti vedrò nei miei sogni
- Buona notte a te che sei lontana
- Good night, love
- I’ll see you in my dreams
- Good night to you who are far away.
Origin
“Il Silenzio” is a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands.
Uses
In a cemetery about six miles from the Dutch city of Maastricht lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in “Operation Market Garden” in the battles to liberate the Netherlands in the fall and winter of 1944–5. Everyone of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries has been adopted by a Dutch family who tend the grave and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is the custom to keep a portrait of “their” foreign soldier in a place of honour in their home. Annually on “Liberation Day”, Memorial Services are held for the men who died to liberate the Netherlands. The day concludes with a concert, at which “Il Silenzio” has always been the concluding piece.
In 2008 the soloist was a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by André Rieu and the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands.[4]
The song is the official club hymn of the Slovakian football club FC Spartak Trnava.[5] It is played before every home match.
Part of the song is also used in all the Italian barracks, to signal the end of the day.[6]
