Diana
Paul Anka & Neil Sedaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

Certo non ne ho viste mai
I've never seen anyone as beautiful and sexy as her
Belle e sexy meglio di lei
There's no one better than her in terms of beauty and sex appeal
Ma a me sembra che lei è un po'
But it seems like she's a bit too young for you
Troppo giovane per te
She's too young for you
Ti capisco e come no?
I understand you, why wouldn't I?
Se però soffrire non vuoi
If you don't want to suffer
Oh fuggi via da lei
Oh, run away from her
Già io ti vedo passeggiar
I can already see you walking with her
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Among the people, together with her
Mentre c'è chi pensa già
While there are already those who think
Che di Diana il padre sei
That you're Diana's father
Ed ogni volta dover dire
And every time you have to say
Che tua figlia lei non è
That she's not your daughter
Capricciosa bionda e rosa, morbidosa
Capricious, blonde and pink, soft
Poi golosa
Then gluttonous
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?
Fun, perfectly cooked and you? And you?
E tu che non ti accorgi che lei sta cuocendoti a fuoco lento
And you don't realize she's slowly burning you
Anche se poi chi ama di più
Even though in the end, the one who loves more
Fra voi due è ancora lei (I don't care)
Is still her (I don't care)
Finché un giorno ti risveglierai
Until one day you wake up
Come un pugile un po' suonato
Like a slightly beaten boxer
Dal gran vuoto che ti ha lasciato
From the void that she left in you
Fuggi via da lei
Run away from her
Capricciosa
Capricious
Bionda e rosa
Blonde and pink
Morbidosa e poi
Soft and then
Poi golosa
Then gluttonous
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?
Fun, perfectly cooked and you? And you?
Tu quale non ti accorgi che non sta cuocendo soltanto me
You, who don't realize that she's not just cooking me
È a un certo punto ormai anche con te
She's already at a certain point with you too
Forse ammetterlo tu non puoi
Maybe you can't admit it
E sono certo che nei panni miei
And I'm sure that in my shoes
Pur di stare vicino a lei
You'd do anything to be close to her
Te ne freghi degli anni tuoi
You don't care about your age
Perché lei è lo sai
Because she is, you know it
Già io mi vedo in un caffè
I can already see myself in a cafe
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Among the people, together with her
Mentre i barman già pensan che
While the bartenders are already thinking
Che un bel giorno poi finirà
That one day it will all end
Come pugili un po' suonati
Like slightly beaten boxers
Quasi morti e innamorati
Almost dead and in love
Resta qui con noi
Stay here with us
Diana

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
