Anna
Michele Zarrillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi scrivevi di te eri lì ai concerti miei
Cosa fai in questa via cosa vogliono da te
E gli esami a settembre perché non li hai dati mai.
Ma che bella che sei quanto male che ti fai
Quanto amore che hai sprecato per seguire chi ti ha
Abbandonato.
Lo capisci si o no che non sono amici tuoi
................................................
................................................
Devi riprenderti la vita tutta la vita che gli hai dato
Ti ho visto innamorata e adesso sei l'attrice di un film muto
Vaglielo a dire ad uno ad uno a questi figli di nessuno
Nei tuoi silenzi nel tuo cuore
Anna ti prego lasciami entrare.
Anna dai Anna dai forse è anche colpa mia
Forse mi chiedevi aiuto e da lì non ti ho capito
Ti leggevo sulle labbra le canzoni mie a memoria
Ma tu forse non cantavi raccontavi la tua storia.
Devi riprenderti la vita tutta la vita che gli hai dato
Che per guarire tu hai pagato in questo mondo avvelenato
Vaglielo a dire ad uno ad uno a questi figli di nessuno
Nei tuoi silenzi nel tuo cuore
Anna ti prego lasciami entrare
....................................
.... Ti leggevo sulle labbra le canzoni mie a memoria
Ma tu forse non cantavi raccontavi la tua storia.
Devi riprenderti la vita.
The song "Anna" by Michele Zarrillo is a heartfelt ballad that is addressed to a woman named Anna, who the singer has had a close relationship with in the past.

The singer encourages Anna to take control of her life and reclaim the love she's wasted on people who don't deserve it. He recognizes that Anna may have asked for his help in the past and he regrets not understanding her, although he always read the emotions in her eyes.

The chorus repeatedly urges Anna to let him back into her life, and to let him help her rebuild the life and self-love that she's lost. The song ends with the singer singing about how he has read Anna's lips while she sang his own songs, but realizes now that she was telling her own story.
