Born in Monfalcone, in the province of Gorizia (north-eastern Italy), since childhood she expressed a great artistic ability: dancing, painting, reciting and writing stories. Her love for art grew with poems of Rudyard Kipling and the lyrics of Jim Morrison, but the best of her talent is expressed in music. At the age of 11 she wrote her first lyrics and melody.
When she was 17 Elisa signed with Sugar. When she was 18 she left for Berkeley, where with Corrado Rustici (producer of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Francesco De Gregori and Claudio Baglioni) she worked on the songs of the album Pipes and Flowers.
In May 1997 she released the first single, "Sleeping in Your Hand". On 22 September the album Pipes and Flowers, produced by Rustici, which soon went Triple Platinum in Italy. Elisa was the author of all lyrics, written in English, and of the melodies as well.
Three singles from Pipes and Flowers were released: "Sleeping in your hand", Labyrinth and "A Feast for Me".

She performed excellently live at the Imola Heineken Jammin' Festival and as the special guest in the European tour of Eros Ramazzotti. In October she recorded the single "Cure Me", produced by Darren Allison, which was on the re-release of Pipes and Flowers.

Produced by Glen Ballard, best known for producing Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, the album was more rock-influenced and sported more electric guitars then her earlier records. "Together" was the initial single, but the greatest success was the Italian translation of "Life Goes On", entitled "Una poesia anche per te".
After an extensive Italian tour supporting Pearl Days, An album returned in 2005 with the hit single "Swan" for the film Melissa P. In early 2006 she released a self-penned duet with Tina Turner entitled "Teach Me Again", recorded for the film All the Invisible Children.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Distratto passeggi dentro il mondo
Tu non vivi fino in fondo e speri che il tempo passi accanto
Rubando da te un solo respiro
Rimani nascosto dietro all'ombra
Non ti importa l'apparenza
Credi che, che nessuno se ne accorga
Non pensi mai a me, che vivo di te
Ecco che, tutto sembra possibile
Se ti lasci un po' andare ad un mondo che ride
Tu ridi di lui e senti che pace
Un ritratto sbiadito con il tempo, consumato poi dal vento
E pensi che ci sia davvero poco che parli di te, pensavi già a me
Ecco che, tutto sembra possibile
Se ti lasci un po' andare ad un mondo che ride, tu ridi di lui
Senti che pace, che ti viene da ridere
Se ti lasci guardare da un mondo che vive
Trovando negli occhi un senso di pace
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Trovando negli occhi un senso di pace)
Mi senti sono io che ti sto accanto e da tempo che ti guardo
E senti sei, sei tu e ora tu sei dentro me
Ecco che, tutto è così incredibile
Basta lasciarsi andare è l'amore che viene sorridigli tu, sorridigli bene
Ti viene da vivere
E sai lasciarti cadere come ti piace e grida il tuo nome e ricorda la pace
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Lasciarsi andare l'amore che viene
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
E sorridigli tu sorridigli bene
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Lasciarsi andare l'amore che viene
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
E sorridigli tu
The lyrics of Elisa's song "Ecco che" speak about a person walking through life distracted and not fully living in the present moment. The person seems to be hiding behind their own shadow and not caring about appearances. They believe that no one notices them but are unaware of the singer, who lives for them. However, the chorus lifts the mood of the song as it suggests that everything seems possible if one lets go and enters a world of laughter. The person in question begins to laugh with the world, finding peace within themselves.
The next verse speaks about a faded portrait that has been consumed by time and the wind. The person realizes that there is very little left that speaks of them and that they are already thinking of the singer. The chorus repeats, suggesting that everything is possible if you allow yourself to laugh more, finding peace in the world and in yourself. The last section of the song has the singer saying that they have been watching the person for a while and that the person is inside them now. The chorus repeats itself, urging the person to let themselves go, to fall in love and smile, and to let laughter take over.

You walk within the world with a distracted mind

You don't live fully and hope that time passes by
Rubando da te un solo respiro
Taking away one breath from you
Rimani nascosto dietro all'ombra
Remaining hidden behind the shadow
Non ti importa l'apparenza
Appearance doesn't matter to you
Credi che, che nessuno se ne accorga
Believing that nobody notices

A faded portrait with time, consumed by the wind
E pensi che ci sia davvero poco che parli di te, pensavi già a me
And you think there's really little talking about you, you were already thinking of me
Mi senti sono io che ti sto accanto e da tempo che ti guardo
You feel me, it's me who's beside you and been watching you for some time now
E senti sei, sei tu e ora tu sei dentro me
And you feel that you are, it's you and now you're inside me
Basta lasciarsi andare è l'amore che viene sorridigli tu, sorridigli bene
Just letting go, it's the love that comes, so smile at it, smile at it well
Ti viene da vivere
You feel like living
E sai lasciarti cadere come ti piace e grida il tuo nome e ricorda la pace
And you know how to let yourself fall as you like, scream your name and remember the peace
E sorridigli tu sorridigli bene
And smile at it, smile at it well
Lasciarsi andare l'amore che viene
Letting go, it's the love that comes

Distratto passeggi dentro al mondo
Tu non vivi fino in fondo e speri che
Il tempo passi accanto rubando da te
Un solo respiro...
Rimani nascosto dietro all'ombra
Non t'importa l'apparenza e credi che
Che nessuno se ne accorga...
Non pensi mai a me che vivo di te...
Ecco che tutto sembra possibile
Se ti lasci un po' andare ad un mondo che ride
Tu ridi di lui e senti che pace...
Philip McFedries
TEXT "HERE IS THAT"
Distracted you walk into the world
You don't live to the end and you hope that
Time passes by stealing from you
One breath ...
Stay hidden behind the shade
You don't care about looks and believe that
Nobody notices ...
You never think about me living on you ...
Here everything seems possible
If you let yourself go to a laughing world
You laugh at him and feel that peace ...
A portrait that has faded with time
Then consumed by the wind
And you think there is very little
What about you ...
Did you already think of me ...?
Here everything seems possible
If you let yourself go to a laughing world
You laugh at him, feel that peace that ...
It makes you laugh
If you let yourself be watched by a world that lives
Finding a sense of peace in the eyes ...
Can you hear me? It is I who stand beside you
I have been looking at you for some time ... and I know who you are ...
It's you, and now you are
Inside me
Here everything is so incredible ...
Just let yourself go to the love that comes
You smile at him, smile at him well ...
You come to live, and you know how to let yourself fall
As you like it, and shout your name
Remember peace
Let yourself go to the love that comes ...
And smile at him, smile at him well ...
Let yourself go to the love that comes ...
You smile at him

Se ogni tanto
ci fermassimo a pensare che in questa vita ci sono cose più serie a cui dare importanza e che su questa terra siamo solo di passaggio, molti rancori, litigi e sciocchezze a cui a cui ci attacchiamo, passerebbero in secondo piano.
Se tutti riuscissimo a mettere da parte l'orgoglio e l'egoismo, riusciremmo sicuramente a cogliere il senso della vita.
🙋♂️🆓️☮❤❤❤🙏🗽🪄speranza e vreo amore, niente altro, il resto sono solo scuse, amatevi da vreo,parlate tra di voi, perdonate ogni sbaglio, perché sbagliare capita sempre per la nostra colpa.

Bravissima questa artista, mi sorprende sempre di più, canzoni ricche di significato e di un fascino particolare. Brava Elisa!

I tuoi pieni di sole rendono materia palpabile i vuoti incastrati e vaganti nel giorno di mia volubilità. Vuoti di pulviscoli di sguardi si riempiono come chiaroscuri d'umori nell'aria fitta d'ombra. Sono sul mio divano di strappi anche oggi, steso a prendere il sole delle tue parole e riempire le esistenze che mi attraversano, così, con un verso. Grazie per quello che canti.
