Il Naufragio
Marlene Kuntz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bene: la "cosa" e' li' a navigare
e il capitano guida niente male!
Moto vagamente ondoso
con libeccio minaccioso.
Serviranno acrobazie (ORA!):
la tempesta lenta sale

"Sali in barca" ha detto
"Sali adesso" ha detto
"SALI"

Il passeggero e' un impeto d'amore
gloriosamente eretto in mezzo al mare
Frangono flutti qua e la' con ritmo irregolare
e caldo e umido non sono qui a far rifiatare

"Vieni in barca" ha detto
"Vieni adesso" ha detto
"VIENI"

Perduta la rotta! Perduta!

Come RELITTO in fondo al suo incanto
affoghera' in lei perdutamente





Perdutamente

Overall Meaning

Il Naufragio is a song by Marlene Kuntz that conveys a sense of danger and abandonment. The lyrics depict a situation where the captain of the ship is doing a decent job of navigating the stormy seas, but it may not be enough to prevent a wreck. The waves are erratic and threaten to capsize the boat, and it would take acrobatics to avoid it. In the midst of this grave situation, a lone passenger who is an embodiment of passion stands tall on the deck, unyielding to the tides that crash around them.


The chorus is an urgent call to join the captain and passenger on the boat. It's almost as if they are desperate for someone, anyone, to help them make it through this tumultuous journey. As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that they have lost their way, and the ship is headed for disaster. The final lines of the song imply a certain resignation to their fate - that the ship would sink like a sunken relic, and they would drown in her unbridled beauty.
