Andiamo a mietere il grano
Louiselle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So, we can paint the walls
And see if anybody likes the tone
(Or the pain)
The hungry eyes
Waiting for your life flash
Now, they're gonna see it
(Now, they're gonna see it)
So, we can make a pool and bathe
And see if anyone complains
(Of the stain)
Let's strip you down
So, we can see your old scars
Now, you're gonna feel it
(Now, you're gonna feel it)
Show me how to shine now
Have you turned, turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
(It's form was scorned)
Have you lost the sense of touch?
I saw it stay in sovereignty
Have you ever turned to dust?
Let's lift you up
So, we can see how fast you fall
We always thought that you could fly
(Now, you'll crawl)
The lack of loyalty
You thought, you once felt
Now, you're gonna feel it
(Now, you're gonna feel it)
Show me how to shine now
Have you turned, turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
(It's form was scorned)
Have you lost the sense of touch?
I saw it stay in sovereignty
Have you ever turned to dust?
Now, show me, now, show me
Now, show me how to shine
Now, show me
(Oh)
Now, show me
(Oh)
Now, show me
(Oh)
How to shine
Now, show me
(Oh)
Now, show me
(Oh)
Now, show me
(Oh)
How to shine
Have you turned, turned to dust?
I saw an insect learn to fly
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
(It's form was scorned)
Have you lost the sense of touch?
I saw it stay in sovereignty
Have you ever turned to dust?
The lyrics of Louiselle’s song “Andiamo a mietere il grano” are enigmatic and open to interpretation. The song seems to be a call for someone to reveal their innermost self, to strip themselves down to bare their emotional scars and show the world who they truly are. The opening line “Let's tap your heart/So, we can paint the walls” suggests that once the person reveals themselves they will be able to create a work of art that reflects their true essence. The lyrics also speak of the pain that comes with this process of self-discovery, with lines such as “And see if anybody likes the tone/ (Or the pain)”, suggesting that it may not be an easy journey.
The song also speaks of the idea of transformation and metamorphosis, with references to insects learning to fly and the idea of turning to dust. The line “Now, show me how to shine” seems to suggest that this process of self-discovery will ultimately lead to a sense of inner light and radiance. The chorus repeats the questions, “Have you turned, turned to dust? / Have you lost the sense of touch? / Have you ever turned to dust?” as if questioning whether the person has truly lived their life to the fullest.
The lyrics of “Andiamo a mietere il grano” are abstract and metaphorical, leaving plenty of room for interpretation. However, the song’s haunting melody and enigmatic lyrics have resonated with listeners, making it a popular choice among fans of Italian indie music.

Let's tap your heart
Let's explore your emotions
So, we can paint the walls
In order to have an impact on others
And see if anybody likes the tone
And see how well received it is
(Or the pain)
(Even if it's painful)
The hungry eyes
The curious onlookers
Waiting for your life flash
Eagerly anticipating your downfall
Now, they're gonna see it
Now, they'll get their wish
(Now, they're gonna see it)
(Now, they'll get their wish)
Open your veins
Reveal your vulnerabilities
So, we can make a pool and bathe
So we can all share in your pain
And see if anyone complains
And see if anyone objects to our actions
(Of the stain)
(Of the lasting effects)
Let's strip you down
Let's expose your flaws
So, we can see your old scars
So we can mock your past mistakes
Now, you're gonna feel it
Now, you'll experience our rejection
(Now, you're gonna feel it)
(Now, you'll experience our rejection)
Show me how to shine now
Inspire me to succeed
Have you turned, turned to dust?
Have you lost everything?
I saw an insect learn to fly
I witnessed the impossible
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
Have you ever witnessed destruction?
(It's form was scorned)
(It was rejected)
Have you lost the sense of touch?
Have you become numb to the world?
I saw it stay in sovereignty
I saw it maintain its power
Let's lift you up
Let's give you a false sense of hope
So, we can see how fast you fall
Only to witness your inevitable failure
We always thought that you could fly
We once had high expectations for you
(Now, you'll crawl)
(Now, you'll humbly struggle)
The lack of loyalty
The absence of support
You thought, you once felt
You once believed in others
Now, you're gonna feel it
Now, you'll experience betrayal
(Now, you're gonna feel it)
(Now, you'll experience betrayal)
Now, show me, now, show me
Now, demonstrate to me
How to shine
How to succeed against all odds
Now, show me
Now, inspire me
(Oh)
(With emotion)
Now, show me
Now, inspire me
(Oh)
(With emotion)
Now, show me
Now, inspire me
(Oh)
(With emotion)
Have you turned, turned to dust?
Have you lost everything?
I saw an insect learn to fly
I witnessed the impossible
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flies?
Have you ever witnessed destruction?
(It's form was scorned)
(It was rejected)
Have you lost the sense of touch?
Have you become numb to the world?
I saw it stay in sovereignty
I saw it maintain its power
Have you ever turned to dust?
Have you ever failed completely?

Avevo 15 anni e mi innamorai pazzamente di Louiselle quando la sentii cantare questa canzone. Che bella voce. Canzoni comprensibili che facevano sognare e innamorare. Chissà se segue Youtube e se legge questi messaggi. Louiselle, sono passati gli anni ed io ho ancora il tuo disco. Quando sono arrivati i social, una delle prime cose che ho cercato su Youtube, sono state le belle canzoni degli anni 60 e naturalmente, una delle prime è stata questa. Lunga vita a Louiselle. Spero che la vita ti abbia dato felicità, figli e nipoti.❤
