Se bastasse una canzone
Eros Ramazzotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si potrebbe cantarla un milione, un milione di volte
Bastasse già, bastasse già
Non ci vorrebbe poi tanto a imparare ad amare di più
Se bastasse una vera canzone per convincere gli altri
Si potrebbe cantarla più forte, visto che sono in tanti
Fosse così, fosse così
Non si dovrebbe lottare per farsi sentire di più
Se bastasse una buona canzone a far dare una mano
Si potrebbe trovarla nel cuore senza andare lontano
Bastasse già, bastasse già
Non ci sarebbe bisogno di chiedere la carità
Dedicato a tutti quelli che sono allo sbando
Dedicato a tutti quelli che non hanno avuto ancora niente
E sono ai margini da sempre, uoh
Dedicato a tutti quelli che stanno aspettando
Dedicato a tutti quelli che rimangono dei sognatori
Per questo sempre più da soli, uoh
Se bastasse una grande canzone per parlare di pace
Si potrebbe chiamarla per nome aggiungendo una voce
E un'altra poi e un'altra poi
Finché diventa di un solo colore più vivo che mai
Dedicato a tutti quelli che sono allo sbando
Dedicato a tutti quelli che hanno provato ad inventare
Una canzone per cambiare, uoh
Dedicato a tutti quelli che stanno aspettando
Dedicato a tutti quelli che venuti su con troppo vento
Quel tempo gli è rimasto dentro, uoh
In ogni senso
Hanno creduto, cercato e voluto che fosse così
Che fosse così, uoh
The lyrics of Eros Ramazzotti's Se Bastasse Una Canzone express a wishful thinking of how music can bring about love, unity, and social change. The first stanza suggests that if a beautiful song were enough to make it rain love, it could be sung repeatedly to drive the message home. The second stanza sets its sights on a broader audience, where a true song could be sung louder to convince people to unite for a common cause without having to fight for attention. The third stanza shows how a good song can motivate people to act on their goodwill impulses and reach out to those in need.
The next two stanzas are dedicated to those who feel lost or have nothing, and those who still dream and wait for a better future despite the odds. These are people who are often marginalized and forgotten, and who would benefit from the power of music to uplift and inspire them. The last stanza brings the song full circle, proposing that a great song about peace could have multiple voices singing and adding their own harmonies until it becomes an anthem of hope and change.
