Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vedi l'inganno
Ve-eggio, ardendo
Dal diaspro l'rogo
Ve-edi-I l'offesa
Amo tuo sdegno
Ve-eggio la pena
La mia paura
Ma respira mia â??alma
Alla rosa-etterna
Madonna, o Donna
Che vai altera
Mostravi di lontan'
Ri-imembri-ancora
La notte, l'altra
Rivaâ?¦
Ve-eggio l'alba
Vedi la terra
Ve-eggio l'ardente
L'immoto sole
Ve-edi-I' l contrasto
Veggio l'inganno
Ve-eggio la pena
La tua paura
Ma respira mia â?? alma
Alla rosa-etterna
Madonna, o Donna
Che vai altera
Mostravi di lontan'
Ri-imembri-ancora
La notte, l'altra
Rivaâ?¦
Mostravi allor'
La-a notte, l'altra

The lyrics to Emma Shapplin's La Silente Riva speak of contrasts and deceptions, with the singer seeing both offense and fear in their surroundings. Despite this, there is a sense of admiration for a "Madonna, o Donna" who remains strong and resolute in the face of adversity. The mention of a "rose eternal" and a "silent shore" adds a hint of poetic symbolism to the song.
The verses seem to be structured in pairs, with each set of two describing a different aspect of the singer's surroundings. The first pair describe a burning fire and a sense of deception, while the second pair speak of the dawn and an unmovable sun. The third and final pair mention both offense and fear, but also the idea of an eternal rose and a distant, silent shore.
Overall, the lyrics create a sense of both turmoil and tranquility, with the singer recognising the difficult aspects of their experience but also finding solace in something bigger and more enduring.
