So Beautiful
Giorgia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lega le mie mani
lega le mie gambe
apri le mie mani...
apri le mie gambe
entra nel mio mondo
dove adesso io ti perdo
se io sto fingendo tu non soffrirai
so beautiful eh!
lega le mie mani mostrami il tuo onore
dammi una ragione per sentirmi bene
non fermarti all'apparenza
e mangiami anche il cuore
entra in questa dignità di donna sorridente
tu vedi solo te stesso
e non ti accorgi che adesso
io non sono qui con te
so beautiful so beautiful so beautiful
so beautiful eh!
basterebbe una carezza
solo un po' di tenerezza
per ascoltare il battito di una creatura
la forza ed il piacere
tu sei qui che vuoi godere
fammi vedere chi sei
li' dietro agli occhi, cosa cerchi?
so beautiful so beautiful
you are so beautiful eh
eh
lega le mie mani
lega le mie gambe
cogli tutti i fiori che vuoi possedere
maledetta primavera di quest'abbandono
cerchi la divinità
e... resti solo un uomo
Giorgia's song "So Beautiful" is a poignant lament on the themes of love and disillusionment. The song opens with a repeated refrain of "So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful eh!" which seems to be a reference to the beauty of love and the pain that comes with it. The singer then implores her lover to "tie her hands" and "tie her feet" and to "open her hands" and "open her feet." These lyrics suggest a certain helplessness and submission on the part of the singer, as if she is willing to give up control of herself to her lover.
As the song progresses, the singer's tone becomes more desperate and pleading. She asks her lover to "give her a reason to feel good" and not to be satisfied with appearances. She wants to be seen for who she truly is, beyond her beauty and femininity. She implores her lover to "enter the world" that she is losing herself in and to truly see her. She yearns for tenderness and affection, for her lover to listen to the beat of her heart and to see her as a whole person, not just an object of desire.
