Non c'è contatto di mucosa con mucosa
Eppur mi infetto di te
Che arrivi e porti desideri e capogiri
In versi appassionati e indirizzati a me

E porgi in dono la tua essenza misteriosa
Che fu un brillio fugace qualche notte fa
E fanno presto a farsi vivi i miei sospiri
Che alle pareti vanno a dire "ti vorrei qua"

Questa è la canzone che scrivo per te
L'ho promessa ed eccola
Riesci a scorgerti?
Sì, che ci sei
Prima che ti conoscessi

Pure frigid waters from these eyes that always miss you
Nothing but violence from my empty gun
I'm using silver to light up these blackheart faces
Blinding your fingers with my skin that burns for you

Questa è (this song) la canzone che (is for me) scrivo per te
(I listen) l'ho promessa (like I promised you) ed eccola
(I can see me) Riesci a scorgerti? (In your words from hell)
Sì che ci sei proprio mentre ti conosco (that you write for me)

E ho le tue mani da lasciarmi accarezzare il cuore
Immune da difese che non servono

Ma ora ho in testa il viso di qualcuno (don't don't tell me) più speciale di me
Che sa cantare ma ha più stemmi da lustrare (no, don't tell me)
Di me e questo è il tuo svago (what you want from me)

Per quel che mi riguarda sei un continente obliato (no don't tell me)
Per quel che ho visto in fondo mi è piaciuto (I don't wanna hear, don't tell me)

Questa è (this song) la canzone che (is for me) scrivo per te
(I listen) l'ho promessa (like I promised you) ed eccola
(I can see me) riesci a scorgerti? (In these words from hell) non ci sei più
Dopo che ti ho conosciuta (that you write for me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marlene Kuntz's song "La Canzone Che Scrivo Per Te" depict a sense of longing for someone they recently met. The song speaks of how even though there is no direct physical contact, they still feel infected by the presence of this person. The individual seems to arrive and bring desires and dizziness in passionate verse, sending shivers down their spine. The person presents themselves as a gift, with a mysterious essence and fleeting brightness from some nights ago. The singer expresses how quickly their sighs appear and go straight to the walls to say, "I want you here." The song seems to be a promise the singer made to the person they met, and it appears to be an expression of their feelings for them. There is also a reference to being immune to defenses that do not serve the heart.

The singer also speaks of darkness and violence, representing the pain of missing the other person. They describe using silver to light up their faces, which represent the way this person stands out to them. The singer asks the listener to see themselves in the song and confirms their presence, which is even more real now that they know them. There is an insinuation of jealousy towards someone better than the singer and who has more accolades than them. The singer seems to acknowledge that they do not know much about this person, but they enjoy the little they have seen so far. The song ends with the line, "After knowing you, you are not in it anymore."
