Miami
Nek Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ogni sabato vengo qua
l'atmosfera Ã¨ la solita
sono altrove con la testa
e ripenso a quella sera lÃ
devastato dagli occhi suoi
con una scusa mi avvicinai
mi potrei scordare il nome
ma il suo corpo addosso quello mai

non so chi Ã¨
ne dove va
ma Ã¨ questo il fascino che ha
non so chi Ã¨
ne dove sta
ma invidio la sua liberÃ

avevamo ballato e
le ho parlato un bel po' di me
che ho una storia complicata
lei mi ha detto pochissimo di se
io non so neanche dove sia
ma di lei so ogni geografia
la mano calda che mi tocca
e la sua bocca poggiata sulla mia

non so chi Ã¨
ne dove va
ma Ã¨ questo il fascino che ha
non so chi Ã¨
ne dove sta
ma invidio la sua libertÃ

so che Ã¨ follia
che pensarla non la fa mia
ma mi va l'idea
â?¦ io la cercherÃ² dovunque sia

non so chi Ã¨
ne dove va
ma Ã¨ questo il fascino che ha
non so chi Ã¨
ne dove sta
ma invidio la sua libertÃ
non so chi Ã¨
ne dove va
ma Ã¨ questo il fascino che ha
non so chi Ã¨

ne dove sta
ma invidio la sua libertÃ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nek's song "Miami" describe the singer's frequent visits to a particular location, where he is always struck by the same atmosphere. Though physically present, he is mentally elsewhere, thinking back to a past encounter with a woman whose eyes left him devastated. Despite not even knowing her name, he cannot forget her body or the connection they shared. He is enchanted and envious of her freedom and anonymity, wishing he could locate her again.

The song captures the idea of fleeting but powerful connections, where two strangers share a moment that leaves an indelible impression but then go their separate ways. The singer recognizes that his thoughts of this woman may be viewed as madness, as he can never truly have her, but he remains determined to seek her out nonetheless. Overall, the lyrics convey a longing for something that cannot be fulfilled, as well as a desire for the sense of liberation and excitement that comes with anonymous encounters.
