Tu Sei Diversa
Gianni Morandi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ognuno di noi
nasconde cio' che puo'
non mi sorprende
la verita' fa male
fa male piu' a noi
a noi che la rifiutiamo
perchè spaventa
perche' non la capiamo

ma tu
sei diversa
io credo che tu non sbagli mai

sono pronto ad ascoltarti
per cambiare la mia vita
con te io rinascero'

sono pronto ad aspettarti
per cambiare la mia vita
con te ricomincero'
perchè con te

io che ho vissuto
buona parte della vita
e nella vita ho sbagliato
tante volte
e se ho goduto
è perchè come sono tanti
ho ceduto ai piaceri piu' inebrianti

ma tu
sei diversa
io credo che tu non sbagli mai

sono pronto ad ascoltarti
per cambiare la mia vita
con te io rinascero'
perchè con te

come è dura l'esistenza
coi suoi giochi di potere
voglio cercare una nuova verita'

ma tu
sei diversa
io credo che tu non sbagli mai

sono pronto ad ascoltarti
per cambiare la mia vita
con te io rinascero'

sono pronto ad aspettarti
sara' dolce la salita
con te ricomincero'
insieme a te

io credo che tu non sbagli mai
no mai

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gianni Morandi's song "Tu Sei Diversa" are a reflection on the concept of truth and how we as humans tend to hide it from ourselves and others, for fear of its painful consequences and our inability to fully understand it. Morandi suggests that the song's subject, a person who is "different" from others, does not shy away from the truth and is therefore a source of inspiration for him to change his life. He expresses his readiness to listen and to be transformed by this person, to be "reborn" and start anew with their guidance.

The song's lyrics also touch upon the struggles of life with its power games and the desire for a new truth that is not tainted by these games. However, with the help of this person who embodies truth, Morandi believes he can overcome these struggles and start afresh.
