That's all I need to know difendero
Eros Ramazzotti & Joe Cocker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I have
no grounds to feel jealous
but I'm just a guy
who's gotta say it like it is
I must be sure of your love
on that I exist
is there someone
to whose heart you would run
just tell me now
darling, I will be gone
but if he is just stealing from me
then that would be wrong
I stand my ground
against any man
who would try to take you from my arms
if you know me at all
you know I don't let go
as long as you want me
that's all I need to know

Difenderò
tutto ciò che sento mio
il mondo che ho costruito
intorno a te
per questo io pretendo
la tua lealtà
difenderò l'amore mio
come solo so battermi io
posso farlo però
solamente se c'è
più di un motivo
per esser sicuro di te

I'm a peace loving man
but I'll take the blows
as long as you want me
that's all I need to know
I don't back down
when I've got my feet on the ground
I'm a peace loving man

Posso farlo però
But I'll take the blows
Solamente se c'è
As long as you want me
Più di un motivo
That's all I need to know
Per esser sicuro di te




That's all I need to know
Per esser sicuro di te

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Eros Ramazzotti and Joe Cocker's song "That's All I Need To Know / Difendero" are about a man who is feeling unsure and insecure about his relationship. He acknowledges that he has no grounds to be jealous but needs to be sure of his partner's love. He questions if there is someone else in her heart, and if so, he wants her to tell him so he can move on. He would rather leave if she is in love with someone else than to be in a relationship where he is being taken for granted.


The Italian lyrics, "Difenderò, tutto ciò che sento mio, il mondo che ho costruito intorno a te," can be translated to "I'll defend all that I feel is mine, the world I've built around you." The singer in the song is willing to fight and defend what he believes is his, including his love and relationship.


The chorus of the song repeats, "As long as you want me, that's all I need to know." It can be interpreted as the man's willingness to fight for his relationship and do whatever it takes to make it work, as long as he knows his love and effort is being reciprocated.


Overall, the song is about love, insecurity, and the willingness to fight for what is important. It portrays the complexity of relationships with its ups and downs but ultimately ends on a hopeful note with a desire to make things work as long as there is mutual effort.

Unusual combination but great together! Eros genuinely seems to appreciate the talents of others - love his humility!

Joe Cocker's voice rises above the sounds around him and he stood his ground. So beautiful voices both men and background singers.
