"...e dirsi ciao" (lit. '...And saying ciao') is a 1978 song composed and performed by the Italian pop group Matia Bazar. It won the 28th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival.
Often described as a minor song in the band's repertoire,[1] the song marked the second participation of the band to the Sanremo Festival, one year after their debut with "Ma perchè".[2] The band at the time was topping the charts with the single "Solo tu", and decided to take part in the competition against the will of the record company.[2] The song has been described as "a sophisticated song, built on a slow bolero rhythm that explodes into a verse-less refrain".[2] Matia bazar recorded a Spanish-language version of the song titled "Y decir, chao".
