Il tempo
Giorgia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
eravamo bambini ci stavi anche tu
l'estate, il sudore, il grano e l'amore
mi ricordo mia madre era bella lo so
avrei dato l'anima per fermare il tempo
per nascondermi
e difendermi
avrei dato l'anima per capire il senso
e che passano segnandoti
i ricordi poi sbiadiscono
e noi qui a cercare il modo
per essere felici e sopravvivere
e vivere
tu lascia che quest'anima
possa crescere e ridere
e non aver paura mai
del tempo e delle lacrime, sopravvivere
e vivere
io sto parlando di un tempo che è
scrivo in questo momento
e canto per te
le rose, le spine, l'onore e il sapore
siamo quello che siamo io altro non so
The Italian song "Il Tempo" by Giorgia reminisces on a past time when the singer was a child, along with other individuals, including the addressee. The lyrics mention summer days filled with sweat, love, and grains, and how the singer's mother was beautiful. The singer longs to stop time and hide and defend themselves, wanting to understand the things that happen and leave marks on one's memories. The memories fade, but the singer and others still search for ways to be happy, survive, and live. The singer urges the addressee to let their soul grow and laugh, not to be afraid of time and tears, and to survive and live. The song concludes with the singer acknowledging that they are simply who they are—nothing else.
The lyrics of "Il Tempo" express a sentiment that can resonate with many individuals. The longing to go back to simpler, happier times and to understand the things that shape us is a prevalent feeling. The song's theme of survival and living is also relevant, urging listeners to persevere through difficult times. The song is particularly moving due to Giorgia's powerful vocals and the emotional pathos of the lyrics.
