Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh ma la oh oh me giova oh,
pe dolae già po va po;
e sha me co oh me gioma ah,
pæ dü le pa tus dac.
E la fongo oh te de van,
pe a su mon ah tu na.
Oh de salai tu ghe,
mani tünai oh ye.
Oh nià pa eh eh padè pa nar,
oh da ne pe se do oh;
e cha la co na cha me pa de,
sar male giac ef ma. [interlude]
E ma pa co oh te do la ah,
cas do le pa ta..
.. pa.
The lyrics to JON ANDERSON VANGELIS's song Italian Song are nonsensical and difficult to fully interpret. The song is composed mostly of sounds and made up words, reminiscent of scat jazz singing. It seems to be a celebration of language and sound, with the words used to evoke emotions rather than meanings. The repetition of sounds and syllables creates a hypnotic effect, drawing the listener into a world of pure sound and feeling.
There are some possible interpretations of certain phrases in the song. For example, "pe dolae già po va po" might be interpreted as "for the good already gone", and "e cha la co na cha me pa de, sar male giac ef ma" could mean "and if it comes to me, it will be bad luck". However, these interpretations are likely influenced by the listener's own biases and are not necessarily what the artist intended.
Overall, Italian Song is a beautiful piece of music that celebrates the power of sound and language. It invites the listener to let go of rational thought and immerse themselves in the sensory experience of the music.

Brings tears and happiness to my soul ... simply out of this galaxy. Jon's face irradiates blissfulness.

I requested this song to be played when my youngest son was born, and so it was. It was his fathers and mine most cherished song.. he was a singer and musician. Unfortunately, we have since divorced. Today his father lies dying of cancer with what will be his last father's day. This song could simply not have more meaning to me than a song of souls. He is the only man who has ever loved me. Songs like this don't just happen to command your soul, without reason. 💔🙏 Thank you Jon & Vangelis for sharing true beauty!
