Canzonaccia
Sandro Giacobbe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Il giorno che inciampai
Davanti agli occhi suoi
Lei rise per un po’
Io la guardai,
lei mi guardò

Conoscersi così
Sarà da serie B
Eppure capitò
Mi innamorai,
s’innamorò

E lei piacerebbe anche a voi
A voi che ci credete più

E quando si spogliò
Di rosa mi sembrò
E mi dimenticai
Che coi calzini non s’è fatto mai

E lei piacerebbe anche a voi
A voi che ci credete più

Se il tempo vola via
La colpa non è mia
Con lei nessuno dorme
E se ne va

Fu lei che mi lasciò
Non sono stato io
Chissà come gli va a quello che
Ha preso il posto mio

Amici non ne ho
Per confidarmi un po’




E inciamperei ancora,
perché no?

Overall Meaning

In Sandro Giacobbe's song Canzonaccia, the singer narrates the story of how he fell in love with a woman after stumbling in front of her. The first stanza depicts this scene, as she laughed and they made eye contact. The second stanza, however, suggests that this type of encounter is typical and rather common or "da serie B," yet he still fell for her and she for him. The chorus describes how "she would also please you, to those who believe it more," implying that their relationship was not taken seriously by others.


The third stanza suggests that as she undressed, she appeared as delicate and lovely as a rose, and in that moment, he forgot that socks should never be worn during intimacy. The fourth stanza repeats the chorus, highlighting the irony that even though others might not consider their love significant, she is still incredibly desirable.


The fifth stanza describes how she left him, not the other way around, and he wonders how the man who replaced him is doing. The final stanza suggests that he has no friends to confess to, but he would still trip and fall for her again.


Line by Line Meaning

Il giorno che inciampai
The day I stumbled


Davanti agli occhi suoi
In front of her eyes


Lei rise per un po'
She laughed for a little while


Io la guardai,
I looked at her,


lei mi guardo'
she looked at me


Conoscersi cosi
To meet this way


Sarà da serie B
Is second rate


Eppure capito'
Yet it happened


Mi innamorai,
I fell in love,


s'innamoro'
she fell in love


E lei piacerebbe anche a voi
And you would like her too


A voi che ci credete più
For those of you who believe more


E quando si spogliò
And when she undressed


Di rosa mi sembro'
She seemed pink to me


E mi dimenticai
And I forgot


Che coi calzini non s’è fatto mai
That with socks on, it's never been done


Se il tempo vola via
If time flies by


La colpa non è mia
It's not my fault


Con lei nessuno dorme
With her, no one sleeps


E se ne va
And she leaves


Fu lei che mi lasciò
It was she who left me


Non sono stato io
It wasn't me


Chissà come gli va a quello che
Who knows how it's going for the one


Ha preso il posto mio
Who took my place


Amici non ne ho
I have no friends


Per confidarmi un po'
To tell a little to


E inciamperei ancora,
And I would stumble again,


perché no?
why not?
