A volte capita
Deborah Iurato Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Non sono come mi volevi tu
Non sono niente di che
Vivo come in un film tra sogno e realtà
Ma sa-a-a-ai a volte ca-a-apita
Che ti svegli un giorno immersa
In una bugia e pensi che ti passerà
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.

Non farci caso, non chiederti se
Stai bene o male così
Non rincorrere più la voglia che hai
Ma sa-a-a-ai a volte ca-a-apita
Che ti svegli un giorno ubriaca
Di fantasia e pensi che ti passerà
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita

Non c'è più niente che valga stare qui
Ma non ho voglia di ripentirmene
Restare in posa per dire un altro sì
E poi ritornare da te dopo tutto
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita

A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita
A volte ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apita

Overall Meaning

The song "A volte capita" by Deborah Iurato talks about the feeling of being lost and unsure of oneself. The first verse reflects on the idea of not being what someone else wants or expects, and feeling insignificant. The idea of living in a dreamlike state comes up, where it's difficult to distinguish between reality and fantasy. The chorus touches on the concept that sometimes we find ourselves caught up in lies or illusions, convincing ourselves that things will eventually get better. The second verse suggests that we should stop chasing after something that may not be good for us, as it might lead us down a winding path of drunkenness and delusion. The repeated phrase "a volte capita" serves to illustrate that these things happen to everyone, and that it's okay to feel lost sometimes.

In essence, the song is about coming to terms with the fact that life doesn't always go as planned, and that we should embrace the experiences we have, whether they are good or bad. It's a song about learning how to navigate our way through the uncertainty that life presents to us.

Line by Line Meaning

Non sono come mi volevi tu
I am not the person that you wanted me to be

Non sono niente di che
I am not anything special

Vivo come in un film tra sogno e realtà
I live a life that feels like a dream and reality at the same time

Ma sa-a-a-ai a volte ca-a-apita
But you know, sometimes it happens

Che ti svegli un giorno immersa
That you wake up one day surrounded

In una bugia e pensi che ti passerà
In a lie and you think it will pass

Non farci caso, non chiederti se
Don't pay attention, don't ask yourself if

Stai bene o male così
You are doing well or not

Non rincorrere più la voglia che hai
Don't chase after the desire you have

Che ti svegli un giorno ubriaca
That you wake up one day drunk

Di fantasia e pensi che ti passerà
With fantasy and you think it will pass
