For the third time Dargen D’Amico takes the stage at the Sanremo Festival. After the success of Where we dance in 2022 and return in 2024 with High wavethis year he returns to the competition with Ai aia song that – according to the first previews – plays with the concept of artificial intelligence and human pain, mixing technology and emotions.
On the cover evening he will duet with Pupo and Fabrizio Bosso on the notes of About uspromising one of the most surprising moments of the event. But beyond music, there is a question that continues to intrigue the public: why does he never part with his iconic sunglasses?

The mystery of glasses: what is it like without them?
Sunglasses have become Dargen D’Amico’s signature style. He never takes them off: neither on the Sanremo stage, nor during X Factornor in television interviews. He himself explained that it is not a question of hiding a physical defect, but of a precise choice. In an age where everything is exposed and shared, he prefers to maintain a boundary between what is public and what remains personal.
When he wears glasses Dargen enters the scene; when he takes them off he goes back to being Jacopo D’Amico, the man away from the spotlight. A distinction that he has consistently maintained even in previous participations in the Festival, since Where we dance to High waveup to the current adventure with Ai ai.

What does Dargen D’Amico look like without glasses?
It’s one of the most searched curiosities online: are there any images of Dargen D’Amico without glasses? Officially no. There are no confirmed photos of the artist without dark lenses. The images circulated online have never been confirmed. His choice is not a provocation, but a form of protection of his private identity. A simple gesture that, over time, has become a symbol.
Parents and origins
Another frequent question concerns his family life: does Dargen D’Amico have a daughter? No, the artist has no children and maintains the utmost confidentiality about his relationship situation. Born in Milan in 1980 as Jacopo Matteo Luca D’Amico, he however has Sicilian origins: his parents come from Filicudi, in the Aeolian Islands.
An interesting detail? He attended classical high school together with Guè and Jake La Furia with whom he then founded the group Holy Schoolsa project that marked the beginning of the Milanese rap scene of the late ’90s. Not just friendship, therefore, but a true creative laboratory born between classwork and afternoons spent writing texts.
The lyrics of “Ai ai” by Dargen d’Amico
Below is the text of Ai ai by Dargen d’Amico:
Before entering the house
I spent an hour trying to remove the sand
Adriatic Highway
From the coast you can see Africa and her diving
Please look at it
It has more curves than Gardaland
When he told me he will return to France
Ugh
I had a stomach ache Ai Ai
Ai Ai,
What are you doing to me?
You tell me come here and then you leave (Ai Ai)
– Bye Bye
But how – Bye?
I lost your contact, can you give it back to me?
Ai Ai
The Bel Paese has such good taste
Even the weather is never bad
But it’s a diva’s boot
Who bathes in olive oil
The Gospel says – You will give a drink
To those who are foreign but have the same veins
Take a bubbly seriously
And away the thought, away the hangnail
I read in the newspaper
That you still can’t do certain things with AI
The leather gives an exceptional effect
You made me feel really good, will you do it again?
Ai Ai
Rep. refrain
I argued with a DJ
Only the hit parade was playing
You know, if you play the right songs
The party flies like Nureyev (Ai Ai)
In Italy, too much art
Feet more beautiful than shoes
Let’s take a day off
Come on, find a way, Carlos Raposo
I read in the newspaper
That you still can’t do certain things with AI
The leather gives an exceptional effect
You made me feel really good, will you do it again?
Ai Ai
Rep. refrain
I had a bad dream
But it felt real
I bathed in the sea
But I came out dirty
And we traveled the world
But without touching
It hurt me a lot
But I really liked it
Love what you don’t like
It is the key to peace
But the saved password seems wrong to me
Or the line is blown and it catches fire
house
It ruined my network for me
Otherwise I would have been a priest
I would have left the country by running away
Seeking fortune in Albania
Rep. refrain
Will you give it back to me?
Ai Ai
Will you give it back to me?
Ai Ai
Will you give it back to me?
Ai Ai
Will you give it back to me?
Ai Ai
