Canzone Di Oggi
Marlene Kuntz Lyrics

The lyrics of Marlene Kuntz's song "Canzone Di Oggi" express the desire of the singer to communicate their inner self to someone else, specifically to someone they care about deeply. The opening lines reveal the intention of the singer to write about themselves in order to reach the other person directly, using unmasked and fearless words. However, the singer faces difficulty in finding the right tone, and as they try to find it, their attempts end up in chaos. They try to send a part of themselves, something that the other person doesn't know exists, while giving up the impulses that have led them up and down in the past. The singer wants to share the beautiful and fragile part of themselves with the other person as they observe it with devotion.

The song explores the human condition of attempting to connect with others on a deeper level, the failure to communicate effectively despite best efforts, and the frustration that often results from it. The chorus, which repeats lines about the difficulty in finding the right tone and the resulting chaos, echoes the theme of the song. The use of imagery such as "trilli di parole smascherate e impavide" (unmasked and fearless words) and "occhiate trepide" (trepid glances) further emphasizes the desperation of the singer to communicate their inner selves.
