Il Suo Silenzio
Kina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La ragazza cammina nella strada
Senza alberi
Il vento porta via i suoni
Senza scuotermi
Vedo i suoi sogni camminare
Senza immagini
Sento il silenzio dei suoi passi
Sampre ancora sola

La vorrei sentire raccontare
Gioia della vita
Ma il silenzio mi porta via
Come gioia finita
Vedo i suoi sogni camminare
Senza immagini
Sento il silenzio dei suoi passi
Sempre ancora sola





Mi stringe il cuore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kina's "Il Suo Silenzio" describe a girl who walks alone on a street without trees. The wind carries away the sounds around her but doesn't seem to affect her. The singer sees the girl's dreams walking along with her, but without any images. The only thing he can hear is the silence of her footsteps, indicating that she is still lonely. The singer wishes to hear her talk about the joy of life, but unfortunately, silence takes the joy away as if it's something that is finished. The lyrics convey a sense of loneliness, making the listener feel the emptiness and silence in their minds.


The song's theme revolves around the idea of sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness. One interesting fact about the song is that it's actually a cover of a 1969 Italian song from Sergio Endrigo, with the original title "Girotondo intorno al sole." Renowned Italian singer-songwriter Giorgio Gaber wrote the lyrics, which were eventually adapted into the version we know today. Another interesting fact about the song is that Kina wrote the English lyrics for the song, which is an unusual thing to do for a non-native artist. The song was released on Kina's second album, "Una Vita in Capsule," in 2000. The album won the Platinum record award for selling over 80,000 copies.


"Il Suo Silenzio" was a huge commercial success in Italy, making Kina a popular artist. However, she is not as well-known internationally. Another interesting fact is that Kina is often compared to Alanis Morissette for her songwriting style and fierce attitude, but her music is more influenced by Italian rock and pop than American rock. Kina sang in Italian for most of her career, but she also released a few songs in English, including her single "Strange Love" in 2019.
