Sangue Del Mio Sangue
Niccolò Fabi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un, deux, three, four

Ora so perché mi blocco
In questo amplesso funesto
È perché quando ti tocco
Sembra quasi che sia incesto

Mani senza l′istinto

Di possedere il tuo corpo
Ti ammiro come un dipinto
Davanti al quale sono assorto

Perché sei sangue del mio sangue
Tu sei carne della mia carne
Tu sei sangue del mio sangue
Tu sei carne della mia carne

Tu sei sangue del mio sangue
Tu sei carne della mia carne

Tu sei sangue del mio sangue
Tu sei carne della mia carne

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Niccolò Fabi's song Sangue Del Mio Sangue are about the intense emotional and physical connection between two people. The opening count-in of "Un, deux, three, four" sets the tone for the song's melancholic yet introspective themes. The first verse reveals the singer's self-awareness of their own inhibitions, attributing it to the taboo-like nature of their physical relationship. The lines "È perché quando ti tocco/sembra quasi che sia incesto" suggest that the two individuals may be related, perhaps siblings or close cousins. The chorus then repeats the sentiment that this other person is "sangue del mio sangue" (blood of my blood) and "carne della mia carne" (flesh of my flesh), highlighting their closeness and interconnectedness.

The second verse further elaborates on the singer's deep admiration for this other person, describing them as a work of art that leaves them transfixed. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that this relationship is unlike any other, transcending the physical and entering into a realm of emotional and spiritual unity. Despite the taboo nature of the relationship, the song's lyrics suggest that the two individuals are unable to resist their intense attraction to each other.
