Donna L
Marlene Kuntz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Donna L chiede se
c'è spazio per la sua sete
Uno che la porti via da me!
Via da me! Via da me!

Donna L ha sete e
non è di quello che c'è già
dentro di lei e intorno a lei

dai piedi suoi ai piedi miei

VOMITA
VOMITA

Pista da ballo ora è più flipper
L è una palla che fa scintille

ROTOLA
ROTOLA
ROTOLA
ROTOLA

Via di qui! Via di qui!

Donna L chiede se
c'è spazio per la sua sete...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marlene Kuntz's song Donna L express the desires of a woman named Donna L, who is seeking respite from her own desires and seeking a way out. She asks if there is space for her thirst, and if there is someone who can take her away from her current situation. She is seeking a way out of the emptiness inside of her, as well as the emptiness surrounding her, and her search has left her feeling sick to her stomach.

The repeated phrases of "via da me" (away from me) and "rotola" (roll) emphasize her desire to escape, and her sense of being out of control. She feels as if she is rolling away from herself, and as if the dance floor has become more like a pinball machine. The repetition also emphasizes the urgency of her need to escape.
