Controvento
Eros Ramazzotti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ancora non lo sai
Ma qualcosa dentro mi si è spento
E già un po' di tempo che cerco di parlarne a te
Non hai capito mai
Non vedevi il mio sfiorire lento
Tu non ti accorgevi che ogni giorno io
Mi staccavo sempre più di te
Ti volevo dire che tutto sta per finire
Ma ci sono parole che poi non riescono a uscire
Ti volevo dire di quando non mi bastavi
Perché più di una notte rientrando ho perso le chiavi
Per aprirmi a te, per aprirmi a te
E mi sono sempre più rinchiuso in me

Ho preso il volo ormai
Ora che sto andando controvento
Io non ci ripenserò
Questa volta no, tu però ancora non lo sai

Ti volevo dire che tutto sta per finire
Ma ci sono parole che poi non riescono a uscire
Ti volevo dire di quando non mi bastavi
Perché più di una notte rientrando ho perso le chiavi
Mentre tu perdevi me

Ti volevo dire che forse poteva andar meglio
Ma domani non sarò lì con te al tuo risveglio




Non sarò più lì, non sarò più lì
Che è finita tu lo saprai così, lo saprai così

Overall Meaning

The song "Controvento" by Eros Ramazzotti is an expression of a man's feelings for his partner who does not seem to understand him. He starts by saying that something inside of him has died and he has been trying to talk to his partner about it but she has not been able to comprehend his struggles. He becomes increasingly tired of her inability to see his slow demise and tells her that everything is coming to an end. However, even though he wishes to communicate this to her, he is unable to find the right words. He then confesses that he had lost his keys quite a few times upon his return home, hoping that she would understand the underlying meaning behind his actions but she didn't.


He then declares that he has become more and more isolated and he has taken it upon himself to move forward with his life. He now refuses to reconsider his decision and make an attempt to fight against the wind, which means that he's determined to leave their relationship. But, his partner is yet to grasp the situation and understand why he is stepping away. He wanted to tell her that they were growing apart and that he wasn't finding fulfillment in their relationship anymore but the words didn't come out, thus, causing him to leave her without expressing everything that he wanted to.


Overall, the song Controvento is a poignant expression of a man's struggles to communicate with his partner and make her see that he is leaving because their relationship has run its course.


Line by Line Meaning

Ancora non lo sai ma qualcosa dentro mi si è spento
You still don't know but something inside me has died


E già un po' di tempo che cerco di parlarne a te
And I've been trying to talk to you about it for a while now


Non hai capito mai non vedevi il mio fiorire lento
You never understood, you didn't see my slow flourishing


Tu non ti accorgevi che ogni giorno io Mi stancavo sempre più di te
You didn't notice that every day I was getting more tired of you


Ti volevo dire che tutto sta per finire
I wanted to tell you that everything is about to be over


Ma ci sono parole che poi non riescono a uscire
But there are words that just can't seem to come out


Ti volevo dire di quando non mi bastavi
I wanted to tell you about the times when you weren't enough for me


Perché più di una notte rientrando ho perso le chiavi
Because more than one night I came home and lost my keys


Per aprirmi a te, per aprirmi a te
To open up to you, to open up to you


E mi sono sempre più rinchiuso in me
And I've been closing myself off more and more


Ho preso il volo ormai
I've taken off already


Ed ora che sto andando controvento
And now that I'm going against the wind


Io non ci ripenserò
I won't think twice about it


Questa volta no, tu però ancora non lo sai
Not this time, but you still don't know


Ti volevo dire che forse andar meglio
I wanted to tell you that maybe things will get better


Ma domani non sarò li con te al tuo risveglio
But tomorrow I won't be there with you when you wake up


Non sarò più lì, non sarò più lì
I won't be there anymore, I won't be there anymore


Che è finita tu lo saprai così, lo saprai così
That it's over, you'll know it like this, you'll know it like this
