Samba in preludio
Ornella Vanoni Vinicius de Moraes & Toquinho Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Samba in preludio" by Ornella Vanoni Vinicius de Moraes & Toquinho express the emotions of a person who feels lost, incomplete, and unhappy without the presence of their loved one. The singer feels like they have lost their identity since their lover has left. They are like a flame that gives no light or a boat without a sea, feeling incomplete and meaningless without their partner. The singer renounces love, kills life, and sings sadness because they are afraid of living without their beloved. The singer is searching for a reason to live, and their memories of beautiful times spent together make them feel less alone. They long to have their lover with them again and feel their touch. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their existence, as life seems to have nothing more to offer them without their lover.

The lyrics of this song touch upon the theme of love and loss, and how the absence of someone we love can make us feel empty and lost. The lyrics are full of metaphors, comparing the singer to a flame without light or a boat without a sea, implying that without their lover, they are incomplete. The use of the word "rinnego," meaning "renounce," shows the intensity of the singer's emotions towards love and how they are willing to let it go due to the pain of separation. The repetition of the line "Ho paura di vivere senza te," meaning "I am afraid of living without you" emphasizes the singer's fear of living without their lover and their uncertainty about how to live their life without them.
