Te lo leggo negli occhi
Dino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound

There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There's faith and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

(Oooh)

(Oooh) [x6 &
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit

And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole




My car radio
And now I just sit in silence

Giorgio Battaggia

Ma ci rendiamo conto di una melodia come questa? Che bei tempi andati e quanta nostalgia!

Sebastiano Di Pietro

Dopo 55 anni una delle più belle poesie in musica di un grande poeta italiano Sergio Endrigo.

Francesco Brunetta

Di cui purtroppo non non pubblicò mai un disco ((chissà perché...)

AMARGURA

@Francesco Brunetta perché riteneva questa versione perfetta

marita fossati

Mi commuove sempre riascoltarla scritta Endrigo e Bardotti, interpretata anche più avanti da Battiato. Questa però è la versione originale...incredibile...Opere indelebili e irripetibili.Eugenio Zambelli, la canti divinamente.

Gian dai vinchi

Poesia di vita e per l'anima pura.

Nazza Nazza

Struggente !!! Spacca il cuore , emozioni fortissime.......non trovo altre parole per descrivere quel che suscita questa meraviglia .

Gabriella Rosmini

Grande Dino… e come tutti i grandi, rimani … oltre il Tempo!.. questa tua versione ci ha fatto sognare… e di Sogni l’uomo ne ha tanto bisogno… Grazie per le emozioni che ci hai regalato… 🤗♥️💋

Gianni Schirru

una delle più belle canzoni degli ultimi 100 anni.
