Happy End
Fiorella Mannoia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eppure non è successo niente
Proprio così
É strano ma sembra che siamo
Tutti ancora qui
Ma non è successo niente
Meglio così
Sarà stato un segnale,
O un sogno,
O forse un film.

É tutto come prima
Con le solite strade bagnate
Il solito via vai
Si continua a sognare di fare l'amore
E chiedersi come mai.

Happy end
Sembra davvero
Un happy end
Happy end

Poi ci stringiamo più forte
Ma come si fa
Sperare di vedersi ancora
Dire no, non finirà
Ma cosa stiamo dicendo
Cos'é che non va?
Il peggio è ormai passato,
Il peggo passerà.

É tutto come prima
Con le solite strade bagnate
Il solito via vai
Continuiamo a passare davanti agli specchi
E chiederci come stai.

Happy end
Sembra davvero
Un happy end
Happy end

É tutto come prima
Con le solite strade bagnate
Il solito via vai
Continuiamo a passare davanti agli specchi
E chiederci come stai.

Happy end
Sembra davvero
Un happy end
Happy end
Happy end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fiorella Mannoia's song "Happy End" tell a story about a situation where nothing has really happened but everyone is still there, as if they have all been waiting for some sort of event. The lyrics suggest that it might have been a sign, a dream, or maybe even a movie that they were all a part of, but in reality, nothing happened. Despite this, life goes on as usual with the same wet streets and busy hustle and bustle. The singer talks about how people continue to dream of making love and asking themselves why they do so.


As the song progresses, the lyrics talk about how everyone clings tighter to each other but wonders how they can hope to see each other again. They say that nothing is wrong, but it is clear that something has shifted. The worst is now behind them, and things will only get better. The lyrics talk about how life continues with the same wet streets and the same faces, and people keep asking each other how they are doing. The repeated phrase "Happy End" suggests that even though nothing has changed, people are still hopeful that things will turn out okay.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of the way things are. The idea that nothing has really happened to shake things up, but people are still holding on to hope, suggests a desire for change- but a realization that it may not happen. Yet, the final word "Happy End" implies that despite the challenges, there is still a chance for everything to work out.
