La lontananza
Emma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La lontananza sai è come il vento
Che fa dimenticare chi non s'ama
È già passato un anno ed è un incendio
Che ti brucia l'anima
Io che credevo di essere la più forte
Mi sono illusa di dimenticare
E invece sono qui a ricordare
A ricordare te

La lontananza sai è come il vento
Che fa dimenticare chi non s'ama
È già passato un anno ed è un incendio
Che brucia l'anima

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

È già passato un anno ed è un incendio
Che mi brucia l'anima
Io che credevo di essere la più forte
Mi sono illusa di dimenticare
E invece sono qui a ricordare





A ricordare te
A ricordare te

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Emma's song "La Lontananza" delve deep into the theme of distance and longing in a relationship. The opening lines convey the idea that distance is like the wind - it has the power to make someone forget about a person they do not truly love. The metaphor of distance being compared to the wind highlights how easily it can sweep away emotions and memories, particularly those that are not rooted in genuine love. The mention of an entire year passing signifies the significant passage of time, yet the feelings remain as intense as a raging fire that burns the soul. The singer admits to believing she was strong enough to forget, but instead, finds herself consumed with memories of the person she is distant from.


The repetition of the line "La lontananza sai è come il vento" emphasizes the idea that distance has a strong impact on memory and emotions. The relentless nature of the wind and its ability to create forgetfulness is likened to the emotional turmoil caused by separation. The fire imagery is revisited, depicting the intensity of the pain and longing experienced when apart from a loved one. The chorus, with its simple yet poignant "La, la, la" repetition, captures the overwhelming feeling of longing and heartache that the singer is grappling with.


As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that despite her initial belief in her strength to move on, she is only deceiving herself. The admission of being deceived by her own illusions reflects the internal struggle and vulnerability she is facing. The repetition of the line "A ricordare te" at the end of each verse signifies the constant presence of the person in her memories and thoughts, underscoring the depth of her longing and inability to forget. The raw emotions and honesty in the lyrics convey a sense of internal conflict and pain that comes with loving someone from a distance.


In the final verses, the singer reiterates the burning anguish that consumes her soul due to the distance and separation. The contrast between her perceived strength and the reality of her ongoing remembrance of the person she loves highlights the complexity of emotions involved in long-distance relationships. The repetition of "A ricordare te" serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of distance on her heart and soul. The song captures the universal experience of yearning for someone who is physically or emotionally distant, resonating with listeners who have experienced the ache of separation and the struggle to move on while holding onto cherished memories.
