Splendore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was spending the summer in the south
When I met your face.
From that day
I couldn′t sleep no more
Even now my heart stops
And my lips continuously spell your name

I was spending the summer

When I met your face
My heart stops
And it makes me feel just like

I don't have time for much else
I don′t have time for myself
Take a long breath
Ci amavamo: what happened?

I was spending the summer
In the south I remember
When I met your face
I couldn't sleep till December

My heart stops i cant't go back there
When my lips spell your name letters
And it makes me feel just like I′m naked

I was spending the summer
In the south I remember
When I met your face
I couldn′t sleep till December

My heart stops i cant't go back there
When my lips spell your name letters
And it makes me feel just like I′m naked

I was spending the summer (Like I'm naked)
When I met your face (Like I′m naked)
My heart stops (Llike you're naked)
And it makes me feel just like

Like I′m naked
Like I'm naked
Like I'm naked
Like I′m naked
Like I′m naked
Like I'm naked
Like I′m naked

Line by Line Meaning

I was spending the summer in the south
I was enjoying my summer in the southern region of the country

When I met your face
It was then that I first met you

From that day
From that very moment

I couldn′t sleep no more
I lost sleep over thinking about you continuously

Even now my heart stops
Even at present, my heartbeat gets affected by you

And my lips continuously spell your name
I unknowingly keep taking your name over and over again

I don't have time for much else
I am too preoccupied with thoughts of you to focus on anything else

I don′t have time for myself
I don't even have time to spend on myself

Take a long breath
I need to take deep breaths to calm myself down

Ci amavamo: what happened?
We loved each other: what went wrong?
