My 8 Favorite Songs in Italian (Upbeat, Soulful, and Full of Love)

December 27, 2014 By Cher 17 Comments

 8 fave songs

Fumo e malinconia – Grido feat. Sylvie Simbi

This song gives me the feels.

It’s about a couple who get into a fight. She leaves. He freaks out. They both regret everything they said.

ed io ti amo ma non riesco a dimostrarlo meglio,
ed io mi odio per questo non riesco a stare fermo,
questo castello senza una regina è scuro,
ed ogni cosa va in fumo!

And I love you but I can’t show it well,
And I hate myself for not being able to stay stable,
This castle without a queen is dark,
And everything fizzles out.

Fumo e malinconia Lyrics

Ti porto via con me – Jovanotti

I love this song because it reminds of all of the American songs about having tonight be the last night.

It’s modern, fast-paced, and puts a smile on my face.

In questa notte fantastica
In questo inizio del mondo
I nostri sguardi si cercano
Con ali fatte di musica
Posso toccare il cielo

On this fantastic night
In this beginning of the world
Our gazes search for each other
With wings made of music
I can touch the sky

Ti porto via con me lyrics

Per dirti ciao! – Tiziano Ferro

I think this song is beautiful because it’s a story about how he lost someone he loved.

Despite the depressing topic, it’s actually quite an upbeat song and gives this hope of finding lost love.

Soffierà nel vento una lacrima
che tornerà da te..
per dirti ciao, ciao mio piccolo ricordo in cui nascosi gli anni di felicità..
ciao e guardami affrontare questa vita come fossi ancora qui.

A tear blows in the wind
That returns to you
For telling you hi, hi my baby, I remember in which I hid years of happiness…
Hi and look at me facing this life as if you were still here.

Per dirti ciao! lyrics

Danzare – Vito Lavita feat. Toni Tuklan

This song will make you smile and want to get up in dance.

Sì sei speciale
io voglio restare
con te ballare

Tu sei importante
brilla, dai vieni e brilla
sei la mia stella
tu sei la donna che vorrei con me

Yes you’re special
I want to stay
With you dancing

You are important
Shining, come on you come and shine
You are my star
You are the woman that I would like with me

Danzare testo

Scintille – Annalisa

I like this song because it reminds me of pop-inspired circus music.

That’s it.

Tu come un colpo di scena
Scivola scivola
Un brivido sulla mia schiena
Per te che forse un giorno sarai solo mio
O forse solo un sogno già finito

You are like a dramatic turn of events
Slide slide
A chill on my back
For you that maybe one day you’ll be only mine
Or maybe only a dream already finished

Scintille testo

Vespa 50 special – Lunapop

 

Warning: Happiness-inducing.

Ma quanto è bello andare in giro con le ali sotto ai piedi
se hai una Vespa Special che ti toglie i problemi…

But how great it is to around with wings underneath the feet
If you have a Vespa Special that takes away the problems

Vespa 50 special Lyrics

Un attimo ancora – Gemelli Diversi

The definition of soulful music in Italian.

Dammi solo un minuto, un soffio di fiato,
un attimo ancora.
Stare insieme è finito,
l’abbiamo capito,
ma a dirselo è dura.
Give me only one minute, one puff of breath,
one more moment.
Staying together is over,
we have understood,
but to say it is hard.

Un attimo ancora Lyrics

L’estate – Greta

Because she sings this song in the same way that summer feels.

Guarda come il tempo cambia la città
Senti fuori il vento e tutto se ne va
Prova a dirmi sempre questa è la realtà

Watch how time changes the city
You feel outside the wind and everything goes away
It always tries to tell me this is reality

L’estate Lyrics
