Their initial success was with the song "Come sempre", from the album "Negramaro" recorded in 2003. It was chosen by RAI (the Italian national television) as the soundtrack for its 50th anniversary advertisement.
They debuted in Sanremo's Festival in the young artists section with the hit "Mentre tutto scorre". This song was subsequently chosen as the title track for the movie "La febbre" by Alessandro D'Alatri featuring Fabio Volo. Another eight songs from Negrmaro are on this soundtrack.
In the summer of 2005 they won the 'Best Newcomer' award in Festivalbar with their new single "Estate". With this song they hit the top of the Italian charts and then went on to win "Best Italian Band" in the MTV Music Awards.
Meraviglioso
Negramaro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Credetemi è accaduto
Di notte su di un ponte
Guardando l'acqua scura
Con la dannata voglia
Di fare un tuffo giù
D'un tratto
Forse un angelo
Vestito da passante
Mi portò via dicendomi
Così
Meraviglioso
Ma come non ti accorgi
Di quanto il mondo sia
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Perfino il tuo dolore
Potrà guarire poi
Meraviglioso
Ma guarda intorno a te
Che doni ti hanno fatto
Ti hanno inventato il mare
Tu dici non ho niente
Ti sembra niente il sole?
La vita
L'amore
Meraviglioso
Il bene di una donna
Che ama solo te
Meraviglioso
La luce di un mattino
L'abbraccio di un amico
Il viso di un bambino
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Ma guarda intorno a te
Che doni ti hanno fatto
Ti hanno inventato il mare
Tu dici non ho niente
Ti sembra niente il sole?
La vita
L'amore
Meraviglioso
Il bene di una donna
Che ama solo te
Meraviglioso
La notte era finita
E ti sentivo ancora
Sapore della vita
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
The lyrics describe an experience of the singer on a bridge at night, with the strong desire to jump into the dark water. Suddenly, someone appears behind them, perhaps an angel, dressed as a passerby, and takes them away, telling them that the world is marvelous and encouraging them to look around and appreciate the gifts that life has to offer. The repeated phrase "meraviglioso" (marvelous) emphasizes the beauty and wonder of life and encourages the singer to see the bright side.
The song appears to be a message of hope and positivity, encouraging the listener to focus on the good things in life and to appreciate the world around them. This is done through the use of strong imagery, including the setting of the bridge and the dark water, which contrasts with the beauty of the world as described in the later verses. The repetition of the word "meraviglioso" gives the song a sense of optimism and joy, punctuating each positive idea with an upbeat exclamation.
Overall, the song seems to be a reminder to look for the good in life, even in the face of hardship and sorrow. It promotes the idea of living in the moment and appreciating the wonders of the world, which can help to heal the pain caused by life's struggles.

È vero
It's true
Credetemi è accaduto
Believe me, it happened
Di notte su di un ponte
At night on a bridge
Guardando l'acqua scura
Looking at the dark water
Con la dannata voglia
With the damn desire
Di fare un tuffo giù
To take a dive down
D'un tratto
Suddenly
Qualcuno alle mie spalle
Someone behind me
Forse un angelo
Maybe an angel
Vestito da passante
Dressed like a passerby
Mi portò via dicendomi
Took me away, saying to me
Così
Like this

But how can you not notice
Di quanto il mondo sia
How much the world is

Perfino il tuo dolore
Even your pain
Potrà guarire poi

Ma guarda intorno a te
But look around you
Che doni ti hanno fatto

They invented the sea for you
Tu dici non ho niente
You say you have nothing

Il viso di un bambino
The face of a child
La notte era finita
The night was over
E ti sentivo ancora
And I still felt you
Sapore della vita
The taste of life
Meraviglioso
Wonderful
