Anna
De Sfroos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mano sulla canna, dito sul grilletto
Anna in mezzo al campo, con i fagioli intorno
Lei ride col fuoco, lei parla col piombo
Anna oh oh, la mòla giò el badil
Anna oh oh, ciàpa scià el fusil, ciàpa scià el fusil
Anna oh oh, gh′è mea bisogn de dìll
Anna aveva sguardi da dare in pasto ai cuorie
Un uomo dentro i sogni che poi trovò anche fuori
Così imparò i suoi baci, percorse la sua pelle
Poi vennero le sberle e ombre alle sue spalle
Anna oh oh, la mòla giò el badil
Anna oh oh, ciàpa scià el fusil, ciàpa scià el fusil
Anna oh oh, gh'è mea bisogn de dìll
Anna oh oh, ciàpa scià el fusil, ciàpa scià el fusil
Anna col fucile sparò a tutto quel sogno
E poi lo seppellì giù sotto il letame
Anna col fucile sparò a tutto quel sogno
Prese quel fucile e non lo posò mai più
Anna oh oh, la mòla giò el badil
Anna oh oh, ciàpa scià el fusil, ciàpa scià el fusil
Anna oh oh, gh′è mea bisogn de dìll
Anna oh oh, ciàpa scià el fusil, ciàpa scià el fusil
The song "Anna" by De Sfroos tells the intense story of a woman named Anna who is living in the midst of conflict and violence. The opening lyrics describe Anna's demeanor as cold and deadly, with eyes like ice and a mouth like chalk. She is holding a gun and her finger is on the trigger, standing in the middle of a field with beans all around her. Anna seems to enjoy playing with fire and flirting with danger.
As the song continues, we learn more about Anna's past and personality. She is a woman with a lot of passion and intensity, capable of giving everything to the man she loves. However, her life is not easy, and she has experienced abuse and betrayal. She learned how to kiss and how to love, but she also learned how to fight back and defend herself. Ultimately, Anna decides to take control of her own destiny and use the gun she's been holding to shoot down her dreams and bury them in the dirt.
The song "Anna" is a powerful and poetic representation of the struggle for freedom and justice in a violent and oppressive world. It speaks to the strength and resilience of women who have been hurt and betrayed, and who refuse to stay silent or give up. Through Anna's story, we see the transformative power of love as well as the destructive potential of unchecked rage and resentment.
