Fortuna
La Niña Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

A chiammano terra 'e nisciuno
Pure si sta chiena 'e ggente
Va fujenno chi tene fortuna
Lassanno tutte cose pe niente
'Nfonno 'o specchio, se vede 'o futuro

T'he vestuto e dimane staje annudo
Alluccamme e nun ce sente nisciuno
Si arrivamme po' 'a chiammammo fortuna

Fortuna, fortuna, fortuna
Viene te porto 'o ssicuro

Comm'è doce 'stu sapore 'e sale
N'atu surso mica fa male?
Guarda a lloro simme tale e quale
È nu specchio ca se chiamma mare

Fortuna, fortuna, fortuna
Fortuna, fortuna, fortuna
Nun ce sta puorto sicuro





'A chiammano terra 'e nisciuno

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of La Niña's song "Fortuna" delve into the concept of fortune and its impact on people's lives. The first verse introduces the idea that nobody claims the land, even though it is filled with people. Those who have fortune are constantly running away, leaving everything behind. The following line reveals an interesting twist, as it suggests that in the depths of a mirror, one can see the future. This implies that those with fortune possess the ability to foresee what lies ahead.


The second verse implies an intriguing contrast between being dressed in the present and being naked the next day. It portrays a sense of unpredictability in life and how quickly circumstances can change. The lyrics further convey the idea of hiding and not being noticed by anyone. However, if they succeed and reach a specific destination, they call it fortune.


The repeated chorus emphasizes the theme of fortune, with the singer calling it three times in quick succession. There is a sense of urgency and desire to bring fortune and certainty to someone or something. The bridge focuses on the taste of salt and questions whether another dose is harmful. It then highlights the similarity between others and the singer, comparing them to a mirror called the sea. This metaphor suggests that they share the same experiences and reflections of life.


Overall, "Fortuna" explores the complex and often contradictory nature of fortune, highlighting its ability to both bless and complicate lives. It delves into the longing for certainty and stability, while acknowledging the transient and unpredictable nature of existence.
