Sorella notte
Piero Pelù Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorella notte non dorme mai
Troppi sogni da carezzare
Lei che con una sola bugia attraversa anche il deserto
E si trova a vender baci baci da un lampione
Sorella notte non dorme mai
Troppi mondi da attraversare
Mondi di periferia che dall'alba andranno via
Tra la polvere delle domande senza risposta

Ah tutta la notte sto correndo insieme a te
Da mille e una notte sto correndo insieme a te
E casa mia dov'è?

sorella notte non dorme mai
T'aspetta sul viale desiderio
Perchè lei è la vita sul pianeta dell'ortica
E sa che ormai l'amore è una domanda
Senza risposta
Ah tutta la notte sto correndo insieme a te
Da mille e una notte sto correndo insieme a te
E casa mia dov'è', casa mia dov'è?

tutta la notte correndo
Tutta la notte ballando
Tutta la notte bruciando con te con te
Ah tutta la notte sto correndo insieme a te

Da mille e una notte sto bruciando insieme a te
Da mille e una notte sorella notte con te con te

Overall Meaning

The song "Sorella notte" by Piero Pelù depicts the night as a sister who never sleeps, always awake to embrace the dreams and desires of the people. The opening lines reveal that the night has too many dreams to caress and too many worlds to cross, and it is always on the move. It can even cross the desert with a single lie and end up selling kisses under a street light, implying that the night is full of hidden secrets and unexpected turns of events.

The lyrics also refer to the suburbs that will disappear at dawn, leaving behind only the dust of unanswered questions. The singer is running with the night, experiencing the thrill of the moment, while wondering where his true home is. The night is personified as a companion whom he can burn and dance with, as they run together towards an unknown destination.

The words evoke the idea that the night is a place of freedom, where one can escape from the constraints of everyday life, and live their wildest dreams. It represents a world of endless possibilities, where everyone can find their own way, even if it means selling kisses under a street light.
