Pupo has been writing, composing, and performing songs for almost 30 years, making a name for himself among the greatest Italian singers. From 1975, the year of his début with Ti scrivero', to 1982 he has experienced an uninterrupted series of successes. His records (Su di noi, Ciao, Lo devo solo a te, Forse, Firenze S. Maria Novella, Un amore grande, among others) have been heard around the world and have been translated into English, German, French and Spanish.

Lidia a Mosca
Pupo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ho un ricordo meraviglioso della Russia
E in questa canzone c′è raccolto tutto
Il mio amore per questa gente, per questa terra
E spero di tornare presto

Lidia col profumo del Berioska
Sto lasciando Lidia a Mosca
Mentre tu mi stai aspettando

Lidia non conosce l'italiano
Ha imparato due parole
Dice sempre "io ti amo"

Lidia, se abitassi più vicino
Pensa un po′ che bel casino
Ed intanto prendo il volo, sempre più lontano

E non si vede più Mosca
Sotto le nubi è nascosta

In Piazza Rossa stasera
Comincia un'altra avventura

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pupo's song Lidia a Mosca describe a man's deep love and appreciation for Russia, its people and land. The singer reminisces about his wonderful memories of the country, and how all of these experiences are collected into this song. He expresses hope that he will be able to return to Russia soon. The chorus of the song is dedicated to a woman named Lidia, who is described as having a fragrance of "Berioska." The singer is leaving Lidia in Moscow, knowing that she is waiting for him. Despite being unable to speak Italian, Lidia has learned two words and frequently says "I love you". The singer further muses that if Lidia lived closer, it would create chaos, but at the same time, he has to take the flight, which takes him farther from her. The song ends with the singer noting that Moscow is disappearing from his sight, obscured by the clouds, and that another adventure lies ahead in Red Square.

Overall, the song captures a sense of longing and nostalgia for a place and person left behind. The lyrics are infused with a tender appreciation for the beauty and complexity of a foreign land, but also with a sense of sadness at having to leave. The use of Lidia as a symbol of love and companionship in a foreign country underscores this longing.
