Il barattolo
Gianni Meccia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
strada facendo rotola
rimbalza qua e la
la la la la la
Rotola,rotola,rotola
come il mio amere inutile
dove mai finirÃ
Tratta il mio ccuore così
come fosse un barattolo
Lo fa girare qua e lÃ
senza nessuna pietÃ
forse neppure lo sÃ
perchè lo fa
Rotola,rotola,rotola
strada facendo rotola
gira rimbalza e rotola
come il mio amore inutile
dove mai finirÃ
The first line of Gianni Meccia's song Il barattolo translates to "Roll, roll, roll". The repetition of this word emphasizes the circular motion and the lack of control that the singer feels over his emotions. The second line, "as we go along the road it rolls", continues to highlight this feeling of lack of control as the barattolo, or jar, is being rolled around without any direction or intention. The third line, "bouncing here and there", demonstrates the chaos and unpredictability of the rolling jar and the singer's emotions.
The chorus of the song repeats the image of the rolling jar, equating it to the singer's useless and directionless love. The phrase "without any mercy" represents the pain that the singer is feeling as they are being tossed around by their emotions. The final line "where will it ever end" highlights the singer's hopelessness and uncertainty towards their relationship.
The verse "treat my heart like a jar" can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be seen as the singer asking their lover to handle their heart delicately and protect it like a valuable object. On the other hand, it could be seen as the lover being careless with the singer's heart, treating it like a disposable jar that can be easily tossed aside. The repetition of the phrase "roll, roll, roll" throughout the song reinforces this idea of dealing with emotions in a nonchalant and careless way.
Overall, Gianni Meccia's Il barattolo portrays a sense of helplessness and instability in love, emphasizing the importance of communication and care in relationships.
