Bambola
Betta Lemme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et tous les gens qui parlent et parlent, c'est des faux, charmeurs charmeurs (ouais)
Tous les soirs tu rêves de lui pendant qu'il dort, dort (ouais)
La vie est faite pour ceux qui vivent, respirent sans coeur
Je sais que l'amour
N'est pas facile pour
Les petits coeurs qui battent seuls
Jouez pas ce jeux
Tu verras
Bambola, mi butterai
Bambola e non cambierai
E come fossi una
E come fossi una bambola
E come fossi una
E come fossi una bambola
E come fossi una
Pour toutes ces fois ou j'ai ignoré cette voix, voix (ouais)
Ce chuchotement qui'me disait clairement "Garde à toi!" À toi (ouais)
Envoutée, j'ai eu confiance, tombée dans ta danse, ta danse (ouais)
L'amour ne se joue pas, maintenant ce sera sans moi
Je sais que l'amour
N'est pas facile pour
Les petits coeurs qui battent seuls
Prends soins de ton coeur
Jouez pas ce jeux
Tu verras
Bambola, mi butterai
Bambola e non cambierai
E come fossi una
E come fossi una bambola
E come fossi una
E come fossi una bambola
E come fossi una
For all the times you said you'd call but left her waiting, waiting (yeah)
For all the times she'd lay there anticipating, patin' (yeah)
For all the times you swore that she was your only, only (yeah)
Words that came at night because you were lonely
Bambola, mi butterai
Bambola e non cambierai
E come fossi una
E come fossi una bambola
E come fossi una
E come fossi una bambola
E come fossi una
The lyrics to Betta Lemme's "Bambola" express the message to care for oneself and not allow oneself to be a puppet in a manipulative game of love. The song is addressed to young women who wait for their love interests and are fooled by their charm. The first verse especially points at men who speak with cleverness but don't mean what they say. The lyrics suggest the need to exhale and take control over oneself by not playing games with one's heart.
The chorus repeatedly sings "Bambola, mi butterai; Bambola e non cambierai," which means "Doll, you'll knock me down, doll, and you won't change." The word "doll" is used metaphorically to represent how women can be seen as objects rather than as equal human beings in the game of love. The lyrics in the second verse are more personal, and Betta Lemme sings about her own experience of being enchanted by someone, only to be left feeling manipulated and used. The verse ends with the determination to never allow that to happen again.
Overall, the lyrics to "Bambola" give a message of empowerment to women in love. The song suggests the need to recognize the charm and the lies, and to break free from them on one's own. It suggests that, in love, it is important not to play games, to take care of oneself, and not to give in to manipulative control.

ballata delbubbio
Per tutte le ragazze che vengono ad aspettare cadendo, cadendo, sì
E tutte le persone che parlano e parlano sono false magie, incantesimi, sì
Quando ogni notte sogni di lui mentre dorme, dorme, sì
La vita è fatta per chi vive, respira senza cuore
Conosco quell'amore
Non è facile per
I piccoli cuori che battevano da soli
Prenditi cura del tuo cuore
Non giocare a questo gioco
Vedrai
Bambola, mi Butterai
Bambola e non cambierai
E come fossi una
E come fossi una Bambola
E come fossi una
E come fossi una Bambola
E come fossi una
Per tutte quelle volte in cui ho ignorato quella voce, voce, sì
Quel sussurro che stava chiaramente dicendo: "Tienilo per te!" Distinti, sì
Ammaliata, ho avuto fiducia, sono caduta nella tua danza, nella tua danza, sì
L'amore non si gioca, ora sarà senza di me
Conosco quell'amore
Non è facile per
I piccoli cuori che battevano da soli
Prenditi cura del tuo cuore
Non giocare a questo gioco
Vedrai
Bambola, mi Butterai
Bambola e non cambierai
E come fossi una
E come fossi una Bambola
E come fossi una
E come fossi una Bambola
E come fossi una
Per tutte le volte che hai detto che avresti chiamato ma l'hai lasciata ad aspettare, ad aspettare, sì
Per tutte le volte che era rimasta lì ad anticipare, anticipare, sì
Per tutte le volte in cui hai giurato che lei era la tua unica, sola, si
Parole che venivano pronunciate di notte perché eri solo
Bambola, mi Butterai
Bambola e non cambierai
E come fossi una
E come fossi una Bambola
E come fossi una
E come fossi una Bambola
E come fossi una
