Description
Love isn't always about happiness, sometimes it's about a suitcase in hand and tickets "anywhere but near." When your heart beats quietly in time with someone else's wedding, and your smile is held together by a thread and a drop of self-love. On stage, it seems like congratulations and polite words, but backstage, there's a subtle rustle of an unspoken "stay." The melody is slow, like footsteps on a train platform: slightly slowed down, imbued with the salt of memories and the scent of someone else's happiness. And somewhere in those sounds, it's not jealousy that's hiding, but a pure, tired warmth – the very feeling you get when you realise: yes, she made the right choice. Just not you.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Allora quindi è vero, è vero che ti sposerai
Ti faccio tanti, tanti cari auguri e se non vengo capirai
E se la scelta è questa, è giusta, lo sai solo tu
È lui l'uomo perfetto che volevi e che non vuoi cambiare più
Ti senti pronta a cambiare vita, a cambiare casa
A fare la spesa e fare i conti a fine mese
A la casa al mare, ad avere un figlio e un cane
Ed affrontare suocera, cognato, nipoti, parenti
Tombola a Natale, mal di testa ricorrenti
E tutto questo per amore
E forse partirò per dimenticare, per dimenticarti
E forse partirò per dimenticare, per dimenticarmi
Di te, di te, di te
E grazie per l'invito, ma proprio non ce la farò
Ho proprio tanti, tanti, troppi impegni e credo forse partirò
Se avessi più coraggio, quello che io ti direi
Che quell'uomo perfetto, che volevi tu, non l'hai capito mai
Io sarei pronto a cambiare vita, a cambiare casa
A fare la spesa e fare i conti a fine mese
A la casa al mare, ad avere un figlio e un cane
Ed affrontare suocera, cognato, nipoti, parenti
Tombola a Natale, mal di testa ricorrenti
E tutto questo per amore
E forse partirò per dimenticare, per dimenticarti
E forse partirò per dimenticare, per dimenticarmi
Di te, di te, di te
Per dimenticare, per dimenticarmi
Di te, di te, di te
English translation
So then it's true, it's true that you're going to get married
I wish you many, many best wishes and if I don't come you will understand
And if this is the choice, it's the right one, only you know it
He is the perfect man that you wanted and that you don't want to change anymore
You feel ready to change your life, to move home
Going shopping and doing the accounts at the end of the month
To the house by the sea, to having a child and a dog
And face mother-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews, relatives
Bingo at Christmas, recurring headaches
And all this for love
And maybe I will leave to forget, to forget you
And maybe I will leave to forget, to forget myself
About you, about you, about you
And thanks for the invitation, but I just won't make it
I really have many, many, too many commitments and I think maybe I will leave
If I had more courage, what I would tell you
That the perfect man you wanted, you never understood
I would be ready to change my life, to move house
Going shopping and doing the accounts at the end of the month
To the house by the sea, to having a child and a dog
And face mother-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews, relatives
Bingo at Christmas, recurring headaches
And all this for love
And maybe I will leave to forget, to forget you
And maybe I will leave to forget, to forget myself
About you, about you, about you
To forget, to forget me
About you, about you, about you
