L'oro di cui siamo fatti
Deborah Iurato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Non cresce sotto gli alberi o nei prati
Non si agita negli indici di borsa
Non lo sfiorano le crisi
L'aria di cui siamo fatti
Non vive nei respiri della gente
Non corre più veloce della luce
Eppure ci protegge
Questa piccola certezza
Considerala un modo per provare
A non dimenticare che dal buio
Spesso prende vita un sole
Voglio illuminarmi
Come una stella che ti guarda se ti spogli
Come una guerra che ti strappa via le forze
Per poi caderti più vicino
Più vicino
Voglio ricordarti
Il mio grandissimo bisogno di certezze
In questa guerra che ci strappa via le forze
Per poi caderti vicino
Un po' più vicino
L'oro di cui siamo fatti
Non muore tra le dita di una donna
Non dorme nelle stanze del potere
Eppure ci fa luce
Questo piccolo segreto
Conservalo per quando avrai bisogno
Di essere sicuro che da un viaggio
Si può sempre ritornare
Voglio illuminarmi
Come una stella che ti guarda se ti spogli
Come una guerra che ti strappa via le forze
Per poi caderti più vicino
Più vicino
Voglio ricordarti
Il mio grandissimo bisogno di certezze
In questa guerra che ci strappa via le forze
Per poi caderti vicino
Un po' più vicino
Un po' più vicino
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Voglio ricordarti
Il mio grandissimo bisogno di certezze
In questa guerra che ci strappa via le forze
Per poi caderti vicino
Un po' più vicino
Un po' più vicino
The song "L'oro di cui siamo fatti" by Deborah Iurato explores the concept of what we are made of, both literally and metaphorically. The first stanza talks about how the "gold" that we are made of doesn't grow on trees or in fields, and isn't affected by stock market crashes. Instead, it is something intangible like the air that surrounds us, but still provides us with protection.
The second stanza encourages the listener to hold onto a small certainty, even in the midst of darkness, because sometimes that's all we need to keep going. The chorus then repeats the desire to illuminate oneself like a star, to remind someone else of the need for certainty and to come closer to them.
The final stanza expands on the metaphor of what we are made of by saying that this "gold" doesn't die in the hands of a woman or sleep in the halls of power, but it still provides us with light. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the need for certainty in a world that often seems uncertain.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the intangible things that make up our lives and provide us with meaning, protection, and light.
