Diana
Paul Anka & Neil Sedaka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Certo non ne ho viste mai
Belle e sexy meglio di lei
Ma a me sembra che lei è un po'
Troppo giovane per te
Ti capisco e come no?
Se però soffrire non vuoi
Oh fuggi via da lei
Diana

Già io ti vedo passeggiar
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre c'è chi pensa già
Che di Diana il padre sei
Ed ogni volta dover dire
Che tua figlia lei non è
Oh fuggi via da lei
Diana

Capricciosa bionda e rosa, morbidosa
Poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?

E tu che non ti accorgi che lei sta cuocendoti a fuoco lento
Anche se poi chi ama di più
Fra voi due è ancora lei (I don't care)
Finché un giorno ti risveglierai
Come un pugile un po' suonato
Dal gran vuoto che ti ha lasciato
Fuggi via da lei
Diana

Capricciosa
Bionda e rosa
Morbidosa e poi
Poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?

Tu quale non ti accorgi che non sta cuocendo soltanto me
È a un certo punto ormai anche con te
Forse ammetterlo tu non puoi
E sono certo che nei panni miei
Pur di stare vicino a lei
Te ne freghi degli anni tuoi
Perché lei è lo sai
Diana

Già io mi vedo in un caffè
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre i barman già pensan che
Che un bel giorno poi finirà
Come pugili un po' suonati
Quasi morti e innamorati
Resta qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Paul, ehi Paul
Adriano, Adriano sono qui
Lei dove è?
Sta arrivando





Ciao ragazzi

Overall Meaning

The song "Diana" by Paul Anka feat. Ricky Martin is a cautionary tale about a man who is in love with a much younger woman named Diana. The first verse begins with the singer acknowledging that he has never seen anyone as beautiful or sexy as Diana, but he also realizes that she might be too young for him. The singer empathizes with the man's predicament but warns him that if he doesn't want to suffer, he should leave her. The chorus repeats this advice to "flee" from Diana.


The second verse imagines the man walking with Diana in public, and others assuming that she is his daughter. The singer warns the man that he will have to constantly explain that she is not his daughter, but his lover. The bridge describes Diana's traits, including being capricious, blonde, pink, and indulgent. The bridge also implies that the man is oblivious to the fact that Diana is "slowly cooking him," and that even if he loves her more, he will still suffer if he stays with her. The final verse imagines the man and the singer in a cafe, being viewed by others as "punch-drunk" and "hopelessly in love" with Diana. The song ends with the man being told that Diana is arriving.


Overall, the song warns the listener to beware of a lover who might be too young, too frivolous, or too self-indulgent. The song also reminds the listener that love can make one oblivious to the consequences.

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana

Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with-a all your might
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
