Innamorata
Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Lyrics

The lyrics of "Innamorata" by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin are a declaration of love, a plea to be united with the object of one's affection. The title itself, "Innamorata," translates to "beloved" or "sweetheart," and the song's words are an impassioned effort to win the heart of the beloved. The song begins with a simple plea, a request for a kiss. The singer begs the beloved to hold them close and claim them as their own. The imagery of love is recurrent in the song, from the warmth of wine to the beauty of a symphony, both of which are used to describe the emotions the singer is feeling. The repeated entreaty for the beloved to claim their heart is echoed in the last lines, where the singer again begs for the beloved to say that they are their "sweetheart, my one and only sweetheart, my love."

While the lyrics are a straightforward expression of love, the subtext is more complex. There is a sense of yearning and desperation in the singer's voice that suggests they are unsure of the beloved's feelings. The repetition of the plea to be claimed by the beloved, the use of the word "more" in the line "Want you more and more Innamorata," and the final desperate cry for affirmation, all hint at the singer's uncertainty. The overall effect is a poignant, sincere expression of love, which feels both simple and profound.
