Romanza
Mirusia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
già la sento morire,
però è calma sembra voglia
dormire;
poi con gli occhi
lei mi viene a cercare,
poi si toglie
anche l'ultimo velo,
anche l'ultimo bacio.
Ah, forse colpa mia,
ah, forse colpa tua,
e così son rimasto a pensare.
Ma la vita,
ma la vita cos'è
tutto o niente,
forse neanche un perché.
Con le mani
lei me viene a cercare,
poi mi stringe,
lentamente mi lascia,
lentamente mi stringe,
lentamente mi cerca.
Ah, forse colpa mia,
ah, forse colpa tua,
e così sono rimasto a guardare.
E lo chiamano amore,
e lo chiamano amore,
e lo chiamano amore
una spina nel cuore
che non fa dolore.
È un deserto
questa gente
con la sabbia
in fondo al cuore
e tu,
che non mi senti più,
che non mi vedi più,
avessi almeno il coraggio
e la forza di dirti
che sono con te.
(Ave Maria, ave Maria.)
Ah, forse colpa mia,
ah, forse colpa mia,
e così son rimasto così
son rimasto così.
Già la sento
che non può più sentire;
in silenzio
se n'è andata a dormire,
è già andata a dormire.
The song Romanza by Mirusia is a poignant and emotional ballad that explores the complexities of love and relationships. The singer starts off by lamenting the impending death of her partner, whom she describes as being calm and almost ready to sleep. However, she can see in her partner's eyes that they are searching for something, and eventually even removes the last veil, the last sky, and the last kiss. The singer then questions whether this is their fault or if it is due to outside influences.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer describing how her partner is reaching out for her with her hands, and then slowly letting go. The singer questions again whether this is her fault or her partner's, as she watches her drift away. The chorus, "E lo chiamano amore", which translates to "And they call it love", repeatedly highlights the paradox of love, that it can be both beautiful and painful, like a thorn in the heart that doesn't cause pain. The final lines of the song are a plea from the singer to her partner to have the courage to tell her that they are still together, as she senses the distance growing between them.
Overall, Romanza is a powerful and moving song about the complexities of love and the emotions it can evoke, from joy to pain.

I can hear her
I can hear her dying,
but she’s calm, it seems as she wants to
sleep;
then she comes and searches for me
with her eyes
then she takes off
the last veil as well,
the last heaven as well,
the last kiss as well.
Ah, maybe it’s my own fault
ah, maybe it’s your fault
and like this I kept thinking.
but life…
but, what’s life?
all or nothing
maybe not even a why.
She comes and searches for me
with her hands
then she holds me tight,
she lets go slowly,
she holds me tight slowly
she looks for me slowly.
Ah, maybe it’s my own fault
ah, maybe it’s your fault
and like this I kept watching.
and they call it love,
and they call it love
and they call it love
a thorn in the heart
which doesn’t hurt
it’s a dessert
these people
with sand
at the bottom of their hearts
and you,
you don’t hear me anymore,
you don’t see me anymore,
if at least I had the courage
and the strength to tell you
that I’m with you.
Ah, maybe it’s my own fault
ah, maybe it’s my own fault
and like this I stayed just like this
I stayed just like this.
I can hear her
she can’t hear anymore;
in silence
she went to sleep
she already went to sleep.

I love you Mirusia... to me, you are the greatest opera singer of all time... happy to be your contemporary!
@luthien1294
This song has brought me so much healing. When I first heard it, it reached into the depths of my soul, and I didn't know why. I looked up the lyrics, and immediately understood. It reminds me of my last day with my mother before she passed from cancer. The way she searched for me with her hands, wanting to hold onto me. Then falling asleep, leaving me here, pondering the meaning of life. Mirusia you sing this so beautifully, with so much passion and meaning. Thank you for helping me come to terms with and process the day that has haunted me for the past year.
@vincenzodelia112
Non riesco a capire come mai un opera come questa abbia poche visualizzazioni merita molto di più
@karinseiger8342

@10spw33
2 years since my last comment on this masterpiece and I'm still listening to my all time favourite by this wonderful lady ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@mikebarnard7957
Why Mirusia didn't get a standing ovation from every member of the audience is a complete mystery to me.
@happyolddude
Dutch audiences are not very demonstrative.
@happyolddude
My wife and I have seen Mirusia live four times now but she has never sung this wonderful song at any of the concerts we have seen. I love her arrangement of this song! As Buddy Holly once sang: Maybe Baby next time!
@gsx1250fast
Outstanding range and control, let's not forget a superb orchestra they really compliment Mirusia so well.
