Salome
Pieralberto Valli Lyrics

The lyrics of Pieralberto Valli's "Salomé" express a sense of isolation and longing for connection. The opening lines "Al pari delle stelle, Dimori in solitudine" translate to "Like the stars, you reside in solitude." This sets up a contrast between the singer and Salomé, who is being addressed in the song. Salomé, who "non vedi con gli occhi" (can't see with her eyes), is being asked to give the singer vision - to see beyond his current state of loneliness.

The second stanza speaks to a sort of divine union between the singer and Salomé: "Verrò nel tuo nome, Sui divini campi, Allora tu, Salomé, Sorgerai dall'acqua." This translates to "I will come in your name, to the divine fields, and then you, Salomé, will rise from the water." The water imagery here, along with Salomé's emergence from it, could be interpreted as a form of rebirth or renewal.

The final lines of the song take on a more ominous tone with the introduction of the wind and the image of a mournful skeleton. However, the singer still holds onto the hope of connection with Salomé: "Non mi negherai mai" (You will never deny me). Overall, "Salomé" is a complex and enigmatic song that speaks to themes of loneliness, spiritual connection, and the desire for rebirth.
