Ti Scrivo Una Canzone
Marina Rei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Possibile?! E'solo polvere negli occhi, cenere!
Può darsi che sia stato inutile
Niente di più facile
Ho pensato e ripensato a quante
Volte avrei potuto dirti addio-ora-io

Ti scrivo una canzone/e non dimenticare le parole
Ti spedirò un sorriso/da ogni angolo di paradiso

Possibile?! E' versosimile questo grande dolore?
Può darsi che ci sia un margine di pura illusione.
Ho pensato e ripensato ed ora
Sono più felice ora-io-ora-io





Ti scrivo una canzone/e non dimenticare le parole
Ti spedirò un sorriso/da ogni angolo di paradiso

Overall Meaning

In Ti Scrivo Una Canzone, Marina Rei expresses her emotions towards someone whom she has had a complicated relationship with. Through the lyrics, she questions the validity of their love, wondering if it's just an illusion that they have created for themselves. Rei uses the metaphor of "polvere negli occhi e cenere" (dust in the eyes and ashes) to convey the notion that their love has turned into nothing. She then goes on to admit that she has contemplated walking away from the relationship multiple times, but remains unable to do so.


However, as the song progresses, her tone shifts, and she decides to express her love through a song. She promises to send a smile "from every corner of paradise" as she writes the song. In the end, Rei seems to come to terms with her feelings, and despite the doubts and uncertainty, she chooses to follow her heart.


The song's lyrics and haunting melody have struck a chord with audiences worldwide. It speaks to anyone who has experienced the complexity of love and the struggle to stay true to oneself while navigating relationships.
