Perdona
Tiziano Ferro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tutte le più grandi storie
Nate da modesti posti
Tutti i più grandi sogni
Fughe da incubi nostri
Obbligato a non pensare
A non dire, a ricordare
Questa notte invece parlo
Penso a tutto il bello

Mi manca tanto scriverti di notte
Poi svegliarti e dirti che ho una nuova melodia
Piangevi ascoltandola

Ora perdona
Ma questa strada era la sola
So che l'hai fatto più per me
Sì sono libero da te
Però doveva andar così
Come stai ora, come vivi?
Spesso ti deprimi
Non ci siam dimenticati
E forse mai
(Mai) mai, yeah

Tutte le più grandi stelle
Bruciano di vita propria
Tutta la stupidità
Che consuma chi non brilla

Ultima risoluzione
Di chi attacca prima e vince
Ultima sopportazione
Di chi è fragile ma finge
Mi manca tanto scriverti di notte
Poi svegliarti e dirti che ho una nuova melodia
E piangevi ascoltandola

Ora perdona
Ma questa strada era la sola
So che l'hai fatto più per me
Sì, sono libero da te
Però doveva andar così
Come stai ora come vivi?
Spesso ti deprimi
Non ci siam dimenticati, e forse mai
(Mai) mai

Mi manca tanto scriverti di notte
Poi svegliarti e dirti che ho una nuova melodia
E piangevi ascoltandola
E poi fu il terremoto
Che segnò inesorabile e crudele un prima e dopo

Ora perdona
Ma questa strada era la sola
So che l'hai fatto più per me
Sì sono libero da te
Però doveva andar così
Come stai ora, come vivi?
Spesso ti deprimi
Non ci siam dimenticati, e forse mai
Mai, non ci dimenticheremo (mai)
E venne il terremoto

Che segnò inesorabile e crudele
Un prima e dopo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tiziano Ferro's song "Perdona" express the singer's longing for a past love while also acknowledging that their separation was necessary for his personal growth. In the opening lines, he reflects on how great stories are often born from modest beginnings, and great dreams are born as a response to personal nightmares. He then admits that he was previously obligated to not think, speak, or remember certain things, but tonight he breaks that pattern and reflects on the beauty of their relationship. He misses writing to his former love at night and waking her up to share a new melody, which would often make her cry.

The singer then asks for forgiveness, acknowledging that their separation was the only path forward. He acknowledges that his former love may have made sacrifices for him, which he is now freed from. The chorus repeats this idea, but also asks how his former love is currently doing, acknowledging that she struggles with depression and that they have not forgotten each other. The second verse continues with reflections on life's struggles, the stupidity of those who do not shine, and the resilience of those who pretend to be strong even when they're not.
