Onda
Virginiana Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dal tavolo, e il tavolo, la sala e il grand hotel
A schiaffi via con sé.
Hey tommyhilfiger multivitaminivideocam nikepump
Tabrnacoli di frutta biciclette remi rotti cani Buddah.
Ti arriveranno le cartoline dove ti dico
Che stiamo bene e che siamo in paradiso.
The lyrics of Virginiana Miller's song "Onda" describe a feeling of loss and displacement, both physically and emotionally. The singer describes how all of their possessions and their entire world has been taken away from them in one sudden move, represented through the imagery of losing all their chips at a gambling table. The lyrics mention brand names like Tommy Hilfiger and Nike Pumps, indicating a consumerist lifestyle that has been abruptly ended. The mention of broken oars and bicycles suggests a loss of mobility and freedom, while the inclusion of religious symbols like Buddah and the use of the word "tabernacle" suggest a search for deeper meaning and purpose. Through all of this, the singer reassures someone they care about (perhaps a lover or friend who is far away) that they are doing okay and that they are in a kind of paradise, even if it is a metaphorical one.
Overall, the lyrics of "Onda" can be read as a commentary on the impermanence and superficiality of modern life, as well as the human desire to find stability and meaning in the face of chaos and loss.

Così la mano prese d'un colpo tutte le mie fiches
Suddenly, my chips were taken away by a hand, all at once.
Dal tavolo, e il tavolo, la sala e il grand hotel
From the table, and the table, the hall and the grand hotel.
A schiaffi via con sé.
Taken away with punches.

@ Azzykkago: questa canzone è un requiem in memoria dello tsunami del 26/12/2004 nell'Oceano Indiano. Bravissimi Virginiana Miller come sempre!
