Hola
Marco Mengoni [feat. Tom Walker] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you put your arms 'round me
Swept the world beneath my feet
And I was
Just a dreamer living easy, not a penny to my name
I'd drink away the lonely days
That was 'til you came my way
I don't remember anymore
And you said "hola, hola"
But I'm sure that wasn't all
E tu che mi tiravi su con dei film stupidi
Senza dire una parola
E non mi capirai mai, né domani né ora
E tu preferivi la tv che starmi vicino
E come fai a vivere se
Attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino?
Facevo delle pause lunghe una volta
Ma ridere e ascoltarti per ore non mi basta
Mm, ballavi latino americano una volta
Senza tenere il tempo come quando c'è casino ad una festa
And I never was much good at watching movies with subtitles
But with you I didn't mind it
And I guess that's the cliché
'Cause now that you're gone
I can't watch films without 'em
Ain't the same on this sofa
When there's no one to hold ya
Guess I wasted my time
Trying to learn Spanish
The only thing I can say
Is hola, hola
Hola hola hey
Is hola hola hey
Is hola hola hey
Is hola hola
E tu che mi tiravi su con dei film stupidi
Senza dire una parola
E non mi capirai mai, né domani né ora
E tu preferivi la tv che starmi vicino
E come fai a vivere se
Attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino?
Guess I wasted my time

Hola
The lyrics of Marco Mengoni's song "Hola," featuring Tom Walker, describe a time in the singer's life before he met someone special. He used to dance alone before this person came into his life and turned his world upside down. The singer used to live an easy life without any money and would drink to pass the time. However, everything changed once this person came into his life, as they said "hola" to him and touched his heart.
These lyrics convey a sense of longing for someone who's no longer there. The singer reminisces about how this person would elevate his mood by watching silly movies and dancing with him. He even attempted to learn Spanish to impress this person, but now all he can say is "hola."
The lyrics also touch on the concept of miscommunication and understanding in a relationship. The singer feels that this person will never truly understand him because they preferred watching TV over being close to him. The line "attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino" (around your heart, you have the Berlin Wall) suggests that this person has put up walls around their heart, making it difficult for the singer to connect with them.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who has lost a special person in their life and is left with only memories and the word "hola" as a reminder.
Line by Line Meaning
I used to be a little better and dancin' on my own
I was doing well on my own before you entered my life
Before you put your arms 'round me
Before you embraced me
Swept the world beneath my feet
Made me feel on top of the world
And I was
I used to be
Just a dreamer living easy, not a penny to my name
I was carefree and broke, just living my dreams
I'd drink away the lonely days
I used to drink away my loneliness
That was 'til you came my way
Until you came into my life
And you said "hola, hola"
And you greeted me with hello
I don't remember anymore
I don't recall the details
But I'm sure that wasn't all
But I'm certain there was more to it
E tu che mi tiravi su con dei film stupidi
And you lifted me up with silly movies
Senza dire una parola
Without saying a word
E non mi capirai mai, né domani né ora
And you'll never understand me, not tomorrow, nor now
E tu preferivi la tv che starmi vicino
You preferred TV over being near me
E come fai a vivere se
And how do you live if
Attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino?
You have the Berlin Wall around your heart?
Facevo delle pause lunghe una volta
I used to take long breaks
Ma ridere e ascoltarti per ore non mi basta
But laughing and listening to you for hours wasn't enough
Mm, ballavi latino americano una volta
Mm, you used to dance Latin American dances
Senza tenere il tempo come quando c'è casino ad una festa
Without keeping to the beat, like when there's a party going on
And I never was much good at watching movies with subtitles
I wasn't very good at watching films with subtitles
But with you I didn't mind it
But with you, I didn't care
And I guess that's the cliché
And I suppose that's the stereotype
'Cause now that you're gone
Because you're no longer here
I can't watch films without 'em
I can't watch films without subtitles
Ain't the same on this sofa
It's not the same on this couch
When there's no one to hold ya
When there's no one to hold you
Guess I wasted my time
I suppose I spent my time foolishly
Trying to learn Spanish
Attempting to learn Spanish
The only thing I can say
The only thing I know how to say
Is hola, hola
Is hello, hello
Hola hola hey
Hello, hello, hey
Is hola hola hey
Is hello, hello, hey
Is hola hola hey
Is hello, hello, hey
Is hola hola
Is hello, hello

Le scelte fatte per Amore non sono mai sbagliate. Qualsiasi altro motivo diverso dall' Amore è sbagliato. P. S facciamo attenzione agli scambi di persona non sempre quello che si vede corrisponde vivere con un certo tipo di persone non vuol dire diventare uguali. 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫

I am listening to this for the first time. I am trying to learn Italian and I started listening to Marco's song, "Io Sono un guerriero" and that led me here. This song is my life with my wife. I survived alcoholism near death and am good friends with Bill W. now. I never liked subtitles but with kids me and my wife now have to watch shows like that. I was better before so I thought until she swept my world out from under me and loved me when no one else would. She never dances with me but when she will it is a firework show in my heart. Every part of this song resonated with me and brought me to tears. Io sono uomo di famiglia. Io ho due figli straordinario e una moglie io voglio bene cosi tanto. Grazie Marco e grazie tutti.
