The lyrics were written by
Leo Chiosso andGiancarlo Del Re , the authors of the Italian "Teatro 10" series of TV variety nights. The music and the score were byGianni Ferrio , the conductor of the "Teatro 10" orchestra. In Spring 1972, the song was the closing number of all eight of the "Teatro 10" Saturday nights. The song is aneasy listening dialogue of Mina's splendid singing with Alberto Lupo's declamation. The song's theme are hollow words. It intertwines Mina's lamentation of the end of love and the lies she has to hear, while Lupo simply speaks. She reacts and scoffs at the compliments that he gives her, calling them simply empty words - "parole". The single was released in April1972 under PDU, Mina'sindependent record label to become a top hit of Italian charts. The song was also published as one of the standout tracks of Mina's Cinquemilaquarantatrè album. [ [http://www.hitparadeitalia.it/schede/p/parole_parole.htm Parole parole] hitparadeitalia site.
