Stella
Almamegretta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
È così dolce stare con te
Lentamente il sonno verrà
Ed il tuo amico ti proteggerà
Ninnananna dormi nell'amoroso mare
Ninnananna dormi e ti senti già dondolare
Gira il cielo e dondola stella
Hai nel cuore le stelle e la luna
Il tuo destino e la tua fortuna
Ninnananna dormi nell'amoroso mare
Ninnananna dormi e ti senti già dondolare
Gira il cielo e dondola stella
Ma chi ti ha fatto così bella?
Stringi l'orso e lui stringe te
È così dolce la vita con te
The song "Stella" by Almamegretta is a lullaby that tells the story of a person who is peacefully sleeping while their friend or lover protects them from danger. The lyrics express a deep feeling of comfort, protection and love. It opens with the line "Stringi l'orso e lui stringe te" which suggests that the person is holding onto their comfort object, their teddy bear, while the bear cuddles and protects them. It portrays a strong bond between the two characters, which is seen throughout the song, with the bear serving as a symbol of protection and love.
The second verse of the song refers to the sky and the stars, with the singer questioning who made the stars so beautiful. The emphasis on the beauty of the sky and the stars is an interesting lyrical choice because it serves as a contrast to what is mentioned in the first verse. The first verse is all about finding comfort and protection in the physical world (the teddy bear), while the second is about the beauty of the nature surrounding us. This contrast suggests that the person finds comfort in both the physical and natural worlds.
In conclusion, "Stella" is a song about finding comfort, protection and love in the physical and natural worlds. It's a beautiful lullaby that speaks to the universal human experience of finding solace and refuge in objects that bring us comfort, and in the people we love.
