Star Dust
Fausto Papetti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody
Haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
The song "Polvere di stelle" by Fausto Papetti is a bittersweet reflection on memories of lost love. The opening lines set the scene of the purple dusk of twilight, which is a metaphor for the sadness and melancholy of the heart. The singer is separated from their lover and the night sky and stars only serve as a reminder of their distance. The lyrics are filled with nostalgia and the singer reflects on their past, wondering how they spend the lonely nights dreaming of a song. The melody of the song haunts their reverie and transports them back to the early days of their love, where each kiss was an inspiration. The memory of their love, however, is now only found in the stardust of yesterday, the music of the years gone by.
The second half of the song features a vivid description of the garden wall and the nightingale, who sings a fairytale of paradise where roses grew. The singer longs to be back in the arms of their lover, but they only dream in vain. Despite their unrequited love, the stardust of the song remains in their heart, a memory of love's refrain.
Overall, "Polvere di stelle" is a romantic and wistful reflection on lost love, featuring beautiful metaphors and vivid imagery to convey the depth of the singer's emotions.

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
The sun is setting and the sky is turning purple.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
The view of the sunset makes me feel melancholic.
High up in the sky the little stars climb
The stars begin to appear in the sky.
Always reminding me that we're apart
The stars remind me of my loved one who is far away.
You wander down the lane and far away
You have gone away and left me all alone.

You left me a song that I cannot forget.

The bird.

The bird sings its sweet song.
Of paradise, where roses grew
It sings of a paradise where roses bloom.

Even though I dream about this paradise which is just a dream.
