Aria
Gianna Nannini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se mi guardi come fai a non dire niente?
Io lo so, tu lo sai
Per paura non si cambia mai
Ma a volte non esistono risposte
Siamo nati abbandonati forse questo ci ha incollati
L'illusione di essere per l'altro il pezzo mancante
Dammi la mano
Se vuoi
Siamo stati condannati
Nudi a letto intrappolati
A pretenderci le vene
E a nasconderci I pensieri
Io lo so tu lo sai
Non ci penso finalmente
Dopo tutto quel dolore non c'è niente
Dammi la mano
E dammi la mano
Se vuoi
E l'aria sta finendo
ed io non ci sto più
A fare del mio cuore
Un meccanismo tossico
È meglio dirsi addio
È meglio e si vivrà
Ora lo so come si fa
A dire basta per sempre
E amarti veramente
Siamo stati fortunati
A vederci innamorati
Siamo stati stupidi a invecchiare
Dammi la mano
Dammi la mano
Dai, dai, dai
E l'aria sta finendo
Ed io non ci sto più
A fare del mio cuore
Un meccanismo tossico
È meglio dirsi addio
Non fa più male
Ora lo so come si fa
A dire basta per sempre
E amarti veramente
The lyrics to Gianna Nannini's song Aria deal with a relationship that has reached its end, and the realization that it is time to move on. The singer knows that her partner also knows that it is over, but they are both afraid to admit it. The fear of change is what has kept them together, despite the fact that there are no real answers as to why they should stay together. They were born abandoned, and perhaps that is what has glued them together, the illusion of being the missing piece for each other.

Io lo so, tu lo sai
I know it, you know it
Se mi guardi come fai a non dire niente?
If you look at me, how can you say nothing?
Per paura non si cambia mai
Out of fear, we never change
Ma a volte non esistono risposte
But sometimes there are no answers
Siamo nati abbandonati forse questo ci ha incollati
We were born abandoned, maybe that's what has glued us together
L'illusione di essere per l'altro il pezzo mancante
The illusion of being the missing piece for each other
Dammi la mano
Give me your hand
Se vuoi
If you want to
Siamo stati condannati
We were sentenced
Nudi a letto intrappolati
Naked, trapped in bed
A pretenderci le vene
Faking our veins
E a nasconderci I pensieri
And hiding our thoughts
Non ci penso finalmente
I'm not thinking about it anymore
Dopo tutto quel dolore non c'è niente
After all that pain, there's nothing
E l'aria sta finendo
And the air is running out
Ed io non ci sto più
And I can't take it anymore
A fare del mio cuore
To make my heart
Un meccanismo tossico
A toxic mechanism
È meglio dirsi addio
It's better to say goodbye
Ora lo so come si fa
Now I know how to do it
A dire basta per sempre
To say enough forever
E amarti veramente
And to truly love you
Siamo stati fortunati
We were lucky
A vederci innamorati
To see ourselves in love
Siamo stati stupidi a invecchiare
We were stupid to get old
Dai, dai, dai
Come on, come on, come on
Non fa più male
It doesn't hurt anymore

I finally found this song, I remember watching Momo when I was younger, I found it again and watched it I almost cried because of this song. Such a lovely song and film.

Gianna crowned the most musical language on the planet. Gianna is an inventor: her setan's voice, the overall magic in the performance, create an enormous stimulating positive energy. Still unknown and an undescribed phenomenon, new soul energy channels. The poetry in the songs evokes the grace of all sounds, has power and portability for all the senses, caresses the soul, achieves large-scale communications, connects people and cultures. A published book of songs with written melodies, fascinating comments and a CD, would be a joy for all fans of music and poetry, for sound / telephone researchers, psychologists / frequencies, sensitivity of the human and virtual presentations.

Canzone che ti rapisce l'anima e ti intristisce di qualcosa che neanche sai 🖤🖤🖤🖤💘
@Virtuoso23
Interpretazione veramente incredibile, meravigliosa. È come se vivesse la canzone, invece di cantarla.
Di fronte a manifestazioni così dimentichi di quanto il mondo a volte faccia schifo, di quanto sia davvero difficile a volte fidarsi di qualcuno, di quanti giorni torni a casa domandandoti solo "perché", perché debba essere tutto così una merda.
Certi giorni abbiamo solo bisogno di sentirci indifesi: una stanza, uno stereo, ma anche una panchina e un paio di cuffie.
E una canzone cosi, che ti strappa di dosso le difese che in quel momento non ti servono, lasciando l'anima spoglia. È fantastico sentirsi vulnerabili, sapendo che sei al sicuro.
