La bomba atomica
I Giganti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noi noi noi
non abbiamo mai dimenticato
il calore e la pace
di una famiglia.

Noi noi noi
non abbiamo più nessun amore
né una casa da difendere
dai mali del mondo.

Noi non abbiamo paura della bomba
noi non abbiamo paura della bomba
atomica, atomica, atomica
atomica, atomica, atomica!

Noi non abbiamo paura della bomba
noi non abbiamo paura della bomba
atomica, atomica, atomica
atomica, atomica, atomica!

Noi noi noi
con gli sguardi verso il cielo
aspettiamo un giorno nuovo che
oscuri il passato.

Noi noi noi
noi vogliamo che venga presto
questo giorno che ci porterà
paura per noi.

Noi non abbiamo paura della bomba
noi non abbiamo paura della bomba
atomica, atomica, atomica
atomica, atomica, atomica!





Noi non abbiamo...

Overall Meaning

The song "La bomba atomica" by I Giganti is about the atomic bomb and its impact on society. The lyrics describe a group of people who have not forgotten the warmth and tranquility of their family, but who have lost their love and their home to the evils of the world. Despite this, they declare that they are not afraid of the atomic bomb. They wait for a new day that will overshadow the past and they hope that this day will bring fear to them.


The first verse emphasizes the importance of family and the second verse describes the loss of love and home. The chorus repeats "noi non abbiamo paura della bomba atomica" ("we are not afraid of the atomic bomb") multiple times, driving home the message that the people in the song are not intimidated by this deadly weapon. The third and fourth verses express a hope for a better future, but also a sense of unease and apprehension as they wait for the unknown.


The lyrics of "La bomba atomica" can be interpreted in different ways, but some suggest that they reflect the Italian political climate of the 1960s, when the song was released. Italy had just joined NATO and there was a lot of debate about the country's role in the Cold War. Some people feared that Italy was becoming too dependent on the United States and that the atomic bomb could be used against them. The song's message of resilience in the face of fear and uncertainty could be seen as a call to action for Italians to stand up for their own interests.

My eternal gratitude goes to WKNR Keener 13 (suburban Detroit) mastermind Bob Green for taking a chance on this single in 1966. To the best of my knowledge, that was the ONLY radio airplay that this masterpiece of first generation garage rock ever got in the United States. Were it not for Bob, I might not have heard it until years later. As it is, both this single (and its magnificent flip side, Tema) and the resultant album have been staples of my recorded archives for decades. Brilliant, brilliant record.
