Smile on Your Face
La Maschera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what a wonderful place
la situazione che più mi va
Grass under feet
and in a cup some coffee
ma 'na sola sigaretta 'a ce smezzà
Children are playing
spustammece nu poco cchiù llà!
I sing you a song
that I wrote all alone,
t' 'a sto' pure sunann' e mò che vuò?
Pe' chistu smile on your face che dess'
Me metto paura sulamente a ce penzà!
Cu' chistu smile on your face me faje fesso
e nun và!
Tears down your eyes
I don't understand why
'a pioggia c'è venut' a truvà
oh no, no woman no cry
ma tu over' faje?
everything's gonna be alright
Pe' chistu smile on your face che dess'
Me metto paura sulamente a ce penzà!
Cu' chistu smile on your face me faje fesso
e te ne vai!
Smile on your face
what a wonderful place
nun saccio cchiù che m'aggia 'nventà
e mò che ha schiuvuto
je sto' tutto 'nfuso
a casa 'e corza voglio turnà!
Smile on your face
The song "Smile on Your Face" by La Maschera is a cheerful and upbeat tune about a happy moment in the singer's life. The song begins with the singer describing the scene around them as they enjoy the simple pleasures of life, such as feeling grass under their feet and sipping coffee. The singer then observes children playing a game and even joins in, suggesting they play a little further away. The singer then sings a song they wrote themselves, asking their audience what they want to hear.
As the song progresses, the singer notes the presence of tears in their listener's eyes but reassures them that everything will be alright. The chorus then repeats, with the singer saying that they're afraid of losing their listener's smile due to the world's problems. As the song ends, the singer reflects on the fact that they don't know what they'll invent next, but they want to return home with the happy memories of the moment they described.
