Straniero
Valeria Rossi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Che fiore sei
Aprendoti un po'
Di petali che profumano

Non credere a chi ti vuole per sé
Con l'aria di chi pensa
Sempre il meglio per te
Il gelo avrà la faccia di chi
Vedendoti ti spara e tu
Non dimenticar dei pezzi di te
Non devi restare giù
Chiedi aiuto anche a me- se posso

Quante donne avrai prima di
Cominciare davvero
Chissà se capirai
Che era un sogno anche lei

Quante scuse troverai
Prima di poter fare da solo
Chissà se capirai
Che hai bisogno di lei

Straniere che
Non partono mai
Straniero te
Che non resti mai

Non credere a chi decide per te
Con l'aria di chi pensa
Sempre il meglio per te

Quante donne avrai
Prima di cominciare davvero
Chissa' se capirai che
Era un sogno anche lei

Quante scuse troverai
Prima di poter fare da solo




Chissà se capirai
Che hai bisogno di lei

Overall Meaning

In Valeria Rossi's song "Straniero," the singer speaks directly to someone who is struggling to find their place in the world. She compares this person to a flower, saying that they are beautiful and full of potential, but they need to be careful not to be taken advantage of by those who see only their beauty and not the person inside. She warns against those who try to control or manipulate this person, even if they claim to have their best interests at heart. The danger in succumbing to such people is that they will ultimately leave this person broken and wounded, and they will have to pick up the pieces and start again.


Throughout the song, Rossi returns to the theme of needing someone else, whether it be a lover or a friend. She tells the person she is addressing that they will have many partners before finding the one who is truly right for them, and that they will make many excuses for why they can't be on their own. However, in the end, she believes that this person will come to realize that they need someone who understands them and who can support them in their journey.


Overall, "Straniero" is a song about the importance of being true to oneself, and of finding someone who can support and encourage that journey. It is a warning against those who would try to mold or control us, and a reminder that we all need someone to lean on at times.
