Resound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
che frenesia
e i gomiti sbucciati io
visto da qui ero così...
cercavo di tenere il cuore
al guinzaglio per non
far capire a lei che io...che lei...
che io
Oh mamma dai! Ti prego no!
Le malattie del lunedì mattina sì!
ho cominciato lì,
ancora adesso mi do
per disperso, santo e profugo
Gli angeli sulla città
occhi caduti dal cielo
guardano dentro i cortili
tra donne e bambini
che gridano,
è tutta la vita che c'è
musica dentro ai juke box
foto sbiadite
nella mia memoria
E quelle sgridate subite
e ignorate
le mie bugie, le mani gentili,
l'assenza di fisicità
chissà che ne sarà di me
giorni spesi a vivere senza dubbi
e con mille domande da fare
quante cose che
non si potevano dire
Gli angeli sulla città
occhi caduti dal cielo
guardano dentro i cortili
tra donne e bambini
che gridano,
è tutta la vita che c'è
musica dentro ai juke box
foto sbiadite
nella mia memoria
Le corse senza fiato fino a sera
e il domani era una favola
da ricominciare ancore...
da farsi raccontare ancora
Gli angeli sulla città
occhi caduti dal cielo
guardano dentro i cortili
tra donne e bambini
che gridano,
è tutta la vita che c'è
musica dentro ai juke box
foto sbiadite
nella mia memoria

The song "Gli Angeli" by Resound speaks about reminiscences of the past, innocent childhood memories of playing tennis and riding bicycles. The song opens with an image of nostalgia as the singer recalls his youth and reflects the joy and freedom he had at that time. He tries to keep his heart on a leash and not let anyone know how he feels about someone special.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about the challenges he faced growing up. He pleads with his mother, asking her not to let him catch the "Monday morning blues," a reference to the struggles he faced as a young adult. He admits to feeling lost, like a saint and a refugee, but a glimmer of hope shines through his words.
The chorus, "Gli Angeli sulla città," which translates to "Angels over the city," speaks about the presence of a higher power and how even in difficult times, there is still life and hope. The eyes of the angels are watching over the city, seeing into the alleys, and hearing the cries of the people: women and children alike. The jukeboxes in bars continue playing music despite the fading memories of the past. The song ends with the singer reminiscing about carefree childhood days, sprinting around as the sun set, and imagining the future as an endless adventure.
Overall, Resound's "Gli Angeli" is a poignant and powerful song that highlights the complexities of life and the importance of cherishing the memories of the past.
Line by Line Meaning
Le tennis blue, la bici e via
Going out with my blue tennis shoes and bike
che frenesia
Feeling so excited
e i gomiti sbucciati io
With scraped elbows
visto da qui ero così...
Looking back, I was like that...
cercavo di tenere il cuore
Trying to keep my heart
al guinzaglio per non
On a tight leash not
far capire a lei che io...che lei...
Letting her know what I feel...or she feels
che io
That I feel
Oh mamma dai! Ti prego no!
Oh mom, please!
Le malattie del lunedì mattina sì!
Monday morning sickness, yes!
ho cominciato lì,
It all started there
ancora adesso mi do
I still give it all
per disperso, santo e profugo
Lost, holy and fugitive
Gli angeli sulla città
Angels above the city
occhi caduti dal cielo
Eyes falling from the sky
guardano dentro i cortili
Watching inside the courtyards
tra donne e bambini
Among women and children
che gridano,
Who scream
è tutta la vita che c'è
It's all the life that there is
musica dentro ai juke box
Music inside jukeboxes
foto sbiadite
Faded photos
nella mia memoria
In my memory
E quelle sgridate subite
And those scoldings I received
e ignorate
And ignored
le mie bugie, le mani gentili,
My lies, gentle hands,
l'assenza di fisicità
The lack of physicality
chissà che ne sarà di me
Who knows what will become of me
giorni spesi a vivere senza dubbi
Days spent living without doubts
e con mille domande da fare
And with a thousand questions to ask
quante cose che
So many things that
non si potevano dire
Couldn't be said
Le corse senza fiato fino a sera
Running breathlessly until night
e il domani era una favola
And tomorrow was a fairy tale
da ricominciare ancore...
To be started again and again
