Après La Classe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na sira jò passai te le patule
E ntisi le ranocchiule cantare
Comu cantanu bbelle a una a una
Ca me pariane lu rusciu te lu mare
Lu rusciu te lu mare è mutu forte
La fija te lu re se tae la morte
Iddhra se tae la morte e jò la vita
La fija te lu re sta sse mmarita
Iddhra sta sse mmarita e jò me nzuru
La fija te lu re me tae nu fiuru
Iddhra me tae nu fiuru e jò na palma
La fija te lu re se ndjae alla Spagna
Iddrha se ndjae alla Spagna e jò in Turchia
La fija te lu re è lla zzita mia.
E vola vola vola palomba vola
E vola vola vola palomba mia




Ca jeu lu core meu
Te l'aggiu ddare.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Après La Classe's song Lu rusciu te lu mare tell a story of a night spent in the countryside, where the singer hears the frogs singing and is reminded of the beauty of nature. The chorus speaks of the "rusciu te lu mare", a powerful stream that flows into the sea, and the singer reflects on the cycle of life and death, personified by the daughter of the king who fell in love and died. The verses continue with the singer's own story of love, loss, and longing, as he recalls a girl who took his breath away and left him with a burning desire.


Overall, the song is a tribute to the beauty and complexity of life, as well as a celebration of the simple pleasures of nature and love. It is a poetic and evocative piece that invites the listener to reflect on their own experiences and emotions.


One interesting fact about the song is that it is sung in the dialect of Puglia, a southern region of Italy known for its folk traditions and musical heritage. The band Après La Classe was founded in 2004 in Bari, the capital city of Puglia, and has gained popularity across Italy with their mix of traditional and modern sounds.


Another notable aspect of the song is the use of animal imagery, such as the frogs and the dove, which add a sense of whimsy and playfulness to the lyrics. This is a common feature of Southern Italian folk songs, which often draw on folklore and nature to express human emotions.


Overall, Lu rusciu te lu mare is a beautiful and poignant song that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Puglia and the emotive power of Italian music.
