Bettina
Alberto Camerini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ti prego dammi un bacio ancora
Senza di te non vivo, posso provarci ancora?
Lontano da te non ce la faccio più
Non riesco a stare senza amore
Oh dolce reginetta del mio cuor.
Ti prego non scherzare col mio amore, fa male.
Bettina, amore, ti voglio
Dimmi almeno hai visto la luna
Ti cercherò in mezzo alle rose
E lei misteriosa come sempre mi sorride e se ne va
The song "Bettina" by Alberto Camerini is a love song about a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman named Bettina. He describes her as a "rosa azzurra," or a blue rose, and tells her that she is his everything, asking for another kiss from her. He cannot live without her and wishes to try and make it work between them. However, the woman seems to be playing games with his heart, causing him to beg her to not play with his love as it hurts him. The man is unable to bear being away from her and continues to express his love and desire towards her. Despite her mysteriousness, he continues to search for her, hoping to find her amidst the roses.
The lyrics portray the intense feelings of love, desire, and frustration that one can experience when pursuing someone they deeply care about. The man is willing to do anything to be with Bettina and cannot bear the thought of being apart from her. However, she seems to be playing games with him, causing him pain and uncertainty. The repetition of her name throughout the song emphasizes the deep connection he has with her and how she has become the focus of his world.
