Scende la pioggia
Gianni Morandi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Io per la strada al freddo
Ma non è questo che mi fa triste
Qui fuori dai tuoi sogni
L'amore sta morendo
Ognuno pensa solo a se stesso
Crolla il mondo addosso a me
Per amore sto morendo
Amo la vita più che mai
Appartiene solo a me
Voglio viverla per questo
E basta con i sogni
Ora sei tu che dormi
Ora il dolore io lo conosco
Quello che mi dispiace
È quel che imparo adesso
Ognuno pensa solo a se stesso
Scende la pioggia ma che fa
Crolla il mondo addosso a me
Per amore sto morendo
Amo la vita più che mai
Appartiene solo a me
Voglio viverla per questo
Scende la pioggia ma che fa
Amo la vita più che mai

The rain is falling heavily, and he feels like the weight of the world is pressing down on him. He's dying for love, but he also loves life and wants to live it fully.
The second verse describes how the singer has given up on dreams because he sees the reality of the world. He watches as his love sleeps, and he's filled with pain because he's come to understand that everyone is only focused on themselves. The rain continues to fall, but it doesn't matter because he loves life more than ever. He wants to live it to the fullest, and that's all that matters to him.
Overall, the lyrics of "Scende la pioggia" describe the pain and sadness of the singer as he watches the world become callous and selfish. The rain is a metaphor for the weight of the world, and the song is a powerful call to love and live life fully.
