Meravigliosa Creatura
Gianna Nannini Lyrics

The lyrics of Gianna Nannini's "Meravigliosa Creatura" talk about a deep sense of love and devotion towards someone, who is described in almost mystical terms. The singer expresses their willingness to face any obstacle and challenge to be with this person, even if it means crossing tumultuous waters, riding through storms or flying amid lightning. The repeated use of the word "meravigliosa", which means wonderful or marvelous, evokes a sense of enchantment and awe towards the subject of the song.

The second stanza intensifies the imagery of the first, as the singer declares their unconditional love and desire to please and protect their beloved. The metaphor "occhi di sole" (eyes of sun) gives a visual representation of the intensity of their emotions, which burn in the singer's heart like a powerful light. The third stanza brings a sense of urgency and tension, as the singer begs their lover not to wake up yet, as if fearing to break the enchantment of the moment.

The chorus repeats the same words but with a different emphasis, highlighting the feeling of awe mixed with fear that the singer experiences being next to their beloved. The bridge culminates the song with an evocation of the possibility of a transcendental union, as the two lovers descend together into paradise, and the singer declares their love to be a beautiful and wonderful death.
