Un di felice eterea
David Byrne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[From "La Traviata"]
Un di, felice, eterea,
Mi balenaste innante,
E da quel di tremante
Vissi d'ignoto amor.
Di quell'amor ch'e palpito
Dell'universo, Dell'universo intero,
Croce e, Croce e delizia
Croce e delizia, delizia al cor.
Misterioso, Misterioso altero,
Croce e delizia al cor.
Croce e delizia al cor.
Delizia, delizia al cor.
Delizia, delizia al cor.
Croce e delizia, delizia al cor
Croce e delizia al cor.
The lyrics are from Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Traviata," and David Byrne covered the song in his album "Grown Backwards." The song is titled "Un di Felice Eterea," which translates to "One day happy and ethereal."
The song talks about a fleeting moment of euphoria that the singer experienced. The singer reminisces about a moment when they were suddenly filled with an unknown love, and since then, they have been living in the grip of this unknown love. This love is described as the pulsating heart of the universe, and it is both mysterious and lofty. The love is both a cross and a delight to the singer's heart, and they are caught in the joys and sorrows of this love.
The lyrics are contemplative and philosophical in nature. They express the universal human experience of being caught in the throes of love, the contradictions, and the mystery of love that are both a burden and a blessing. The lyrics suggest that love is not just a personal emotion but a force that connects us to the universe and the mysteries of existence.
