Iva Zanicchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y asi, olvidate del tiempo
Sabes bien, que el mundo no lo mueven
El afan del oro y de riqueza
Deja fuera de tu puerta el pensamiento
Y quizas asi, olvidas tu tristeza
Y veras, tan solo la nobleza
De mi amor, sincero y tan profundo
Corta el hilo del telefono
Y deja fuera el mundo
Imaginate
Un sitio para nuestra fantasia
Imaginate
Un sitio donde todo es armonia
Lo tengo aquí, es para ti
Imaginate
La dulce sensacion que da el vino
Un vertigo
En el que ves mas claro tu destino
Por que mi amor, es tuyo
Tu y Yo, tan lejos del mundo y el tiempo
Asi olvidas tu tristeza
Y veras tan solo la nobleza
De mi amor, sincero y tan profundo
Corta el hilo del telefono
Y deja fuera el mundo
Imaginate
Un sitio para nuestra fantasia
Imaginate
Un sitio donde todo es armonia
Lo tengo aquí, es para ti
Imaginate
La dulce sensacion que da el vino
Un vertigo
En el que ves mas claro tu destino
Por que mi amor, es tuyo.
The song "Imaginate" by Iva Zanicchi is a beautiful love song that talks about two individuals who want to escape the world and be together in a harmonious place. The lyrics start by setting the tone for a forever union between the two lovers, despite the worldly distractions of wealth and materialism that surround them. The singer encourages her lover to forget about time and ignore worldly possessions as their love transcends all that. The words imply a sense of dreamy escapism where the only thing that matters is their deep love for each other.
The chorus suggests the power of imagination to transport the lovers to a place where all their dreams would come true, a perfect world filled with harmony, where one could forget all sadness and worries. They cut the telephone line, closing the outside world out, and let their imaginations create a world where they can be free to express themselves emotionally. There is a sense of ecstatic transcendence portrayed by the lyrics where drinking wine heightens their feelings, and the lovers feel free to explore their deepest desires. The ending of the song reminds us that their love is sincere and profound, holds more value than any of the worldly and material things.
