CONTENTS SUMMARY
1. L'Isola (The Island)
Emma
Un respiro complice
Prendi fiato e scegli me
In fila indiana
Scegli me
A conspiratorial breath
Take a breath and choose me
In single file
Choose me

Imagine standing on a shoreline where a single ship is setting sail, and everyone watches it shrink into the horizon. Emma’s “L’Isola” captures that breath-holding moment when you must choose between staying in familiar sands or diving into the unknown with someone you trust. The repeated invitation “Prendi fiato e scegli me” (Take a breath and choose me) is a loving dare: leave the crowd of silent onlookers, shake off fear, and step onto a destiny that only courage can unlock.

The song paints the island as both a physical place and a state of mind—beautiful yet confining. While others stay frozen, hoping someone might come back for them, the singer turns to her partner and whispers a promise of escape, light, and new beginnings. It’s a rousing ode to love as a lifeboat, adventure as oxygen, and shared bravery as the ticket off any lonely island.

2. Mondiale (World)
Emma
C'è un'arma infallibile
Che chiamano amore
Siamo in guerra
Quale guerra, in che nome
There's an infallible weapon
They call it love
We're at war
Which war, in whose name

Mondiale turns the ups and downs of a relationship into an epic battlefield. Emma paints love as an infallible weapon: memories explode like fireworks, words march like soldiers and every disagreement feels as big as a world war. Yet, even amid the chaos, no one is truly hurt—proving how fierce emotions can clash without leaving visible scars.

Frustrated by endless “strategies” and late-night overthinking, the singer dreams of another life and another road where she can sail free instead of being dragged under. She pleads for a little understanding, longing to vanish quietly “like the sun.” Despite the explosions and exasperated “che palle,” the song’s core message is hopeful: love may shake us to the core, but it still holds the power to guide us beyond conflict and into a brighter, more peaceful tomorrow.

3. INIZIAMO DALLA FINE (LET'S START FROM THE END)
Emma
Io lo so che mi chiami anche da diversi fusi orari
Ieri siamo stati esagerati, chiediamoci scusa
Nella stanza buia scenari surreali
Baci come bombe nucleari
I know you call me even from different time zones
Yesterday we went overboard, let's apologize to each other
In the dark room, surreal scenarios
Kisses like nuclear bombs

In INIZIAMO DALLA FINE Emma invites us to hop on a roller-coaster of a relationship where love feels like a high-voltage firework show. From late-night calls across time zones to “kisses like nuclear bombs,” the couple bounce between fiery arguments and breath-stealing make-ups. Emma’s narrator wants to hit the reset button — “let’s start from the end, pull out the thorns” — yet she knows the damage is already done: they speak “two different languages” even while standing in front of the same hotel.

The song captures the push-and-pull of a romance that is intoxicating and exhausting at the same time. One minute they scribble playful insults on foggy windows, the next they threaten to disappear forever. Amid the chaos, Emma’s voice cuts through with self-awareness: I won’t cry tomorrow; you don’t deserve more tears. It is a mix of heartbreak and liberation, a promise to break the cycle of silent lunches, missing calls, and emotional turbulence. By the final chorus, the question “What has love done to us?” hangs in the air, leaving listeners with the bittersweet taste of a love that burned bright, taught hard lessons, and may finally be ready to let go.

4. Che Sogno Incredibile (What An Incredible Dream)
Emma, Loredana Bertè
Questa volta te lo leggo negli occhi
Mentre una canzone scende le scale
Ci guardiamo come non fanno gli altri
E ci piace se la notte rimane come un velo di seta
This time I can see it in your eyes
While a song comes down the stairs
We look at each other like nobody else does
And we like it if the night stays like a silk veil

Che Sogno Incredibile sweeps us into a late-night whirlwind where two people hover between friendship and something far more electric. As pulsing beats glide down the “stairs,” the singers lock eyes and feel the city melt away, wrapping them in a silky hush. Their chemistry is undeniable yet unofficial; they tease, lie, and even trade voice-note insults, only to find themselves sneaking out the back door together. Each glance is a spark, every shared secret a daring escape from ordinary life.

Behind the playful bravado lies a deeper longing. Emma vows she would cross “a thousand islands” just to brush against her partner again, while Loredana marvels at eyes that feel like an impossible dream. The song flickers between hope and headache, bliss and chaos, capturing the thrill of a bond that refuses easy labels. In the end, the repeated refrain—“Che sogno incredibile i tuoi occhi” (“What an incredible dream your eyes are”)—reminds us that some connections are as unpredictable and irresistible as a warm night breeze over the ocean.

5. Effetto Domino (Domino Effect)
Emma
Lasciamo tutte le occasioni aperte
Lasciamo un filo d'aria alle finestre
Ventimila leghe sotto le coperte
Fammi vedere se la voglia ti rimane
Let's leave every chance open
Let's leave a breath of air at the windows
Twenty thousand leagues under the blankets
Let me see if the desire's still in you

Effetto Domino dives head-first into that irresistible chain reaction that sparks when two people throw caution to the wind. Emma paints a late-night scene filled with open windows, tangled sheets, and playful flashes of light, where every small touch knocks over the next “tile” of desire. The lovers are naked, sweating, blindfolded, and wonderfully reckless; they are not chasing grand life purposes, only the electric thrill of the moment.

Underneath the sensual imagery lies a philosophy: if life has no clear meaning, why not enjoy the fall together? The song suggests that surrendering to passion, even if it leaves us “in pieces,” can be more genuine than clinging to fragile certainties. It is an anthem for living in the present, accepting vulnerability, and letting the dominoes tumble with unapologetic joy.

6. Stupida Allegria (Stupid Joy)
Emma
Ovunque vada sento il tuo profumo addosso
Quante le volte che ti ho dato per scontato
E ti ritrovo in ogni ruga del mio volto
E nel sapore di un ricordo t'ho scordato
Wherever I go I feel your perfume on me
How many times I've taken you for granted
And I find you in every wrinkle of my face
And in the taste of a memory I've forgotten you

“Stupida Allegria” captures that roller-coaster moment when love, nostalgia and annoyance all crash into one another. The singer walks through her day wrapped in the other person’s scent, spotting their shadow in every wrinkle on her face and every street-corner melody. She tries to push them away, even blames them for her own flaws, yet every goodbye loops back to another return. It is a confession of contradiction: “I’ve hated you a little, but you’re still my silly joy, my melancholy.”

Emma turns this push-and-pull into a lively street scene: a man strumming a guitar on the pavement, someone whistling from a window, colors splashing across the city as memories flood in. The song celebrates how love can be both fragile and unstoppable, irritating and irresistible. By the end, she admits the obvious truth we all know too well—she will always come back, because that “stupida allegria” is hers alone, a sweet ache she simply cannot (and maybe does not want to) cure.

7. Io Di Te Non Ho Paura (I'm Not Afraid Of You)
Emma
Tu di me hai questo tempo
Io di te ancora non lo so
Tu di me hai la voglia di cadere
Io di te il mare in un cortile
You've got this time of me
I still don't know about you
You've got my urge to fall
Me, of you, the sea in a courtyard

“Io Di Te Non Ho Paura” is a vibrant love-confession built on a playful “you of me / I of you” back-and-forth. Emma lists the tiny treasures two people collect when they fall for each other – sunset walks, childhood photos, summer-scented evenings. Each line is a swap of secrets: “You have my time, I have your sea in a courtyard.” The song shows how every new detail feels like a gift, yet there is always one more mystery to uncover. Through this trading of memories and curiosities, the singer keeps repeating her mantra: she is not afraid of what she discovers in her partner, or of what her partner might find in her.

Under the upbeat pop production sits a deeper question: How well can we really know someone, and does it even matter if we’re brave enough to love? Emma celebrates that courage. She embraces the uncertainty, saying she would never free herself from the other person, while challenging them to drop their guard in return. The result is a catchy anthem about curiosity, vulnerability, and the fearless joy of diving head-first into a relationship where every shared moment becomes its own little world. 🎶

8. L'Amore Non Mi Basta (Love Is Not Enough)
Emma
Se ci fossero istruzioni per spiegare il meccanismo
Che mi ha spinto a presentarmi a casa tua con questo viso
Con la scusa un po' banale di riprendermi vestiti
Libri, un po' della mia vita
If there were instructions to explain the mechanism
That pushed me to show up at your place with this face
With the lame excuse of taking back my clothes
Books, a bit of my life

“L’Amore Non Mi Basta” (Love Is Not Enough For Me) drops us right into the most awkward breakup errand ever: showing up at an ex’s doorstep to reclaim clothes, books, and pieces of a shared life. Emma turns that simple visit into a dramatic confession. She admits she once saw the relationship as “our forever, our daily bread,” yet something vital is missing. With imagery of storms and protective screens, she paints herself as a whirlwind who can no longer settle for a love that has gone stale.

Beneath the emotional fireworks lies a message of self-respect. Emma wrestles with guilt—calling herself selfish and dishonest—but ultimately decides that staying would be an even bigger lie. The chorus pounds home the realization that affection alone cannot fix deep-set mismatches. It is a bittersweet anthem about choosing growth over comfort, even when it hurts. By the final “Finiamo, punto e basta” (“We’re done. Period, that’s it”), she slams the door with resolve, reminding us that sometimes the bravest act of love is letting go.

9. Amami (Love Me)
Emma
La notte porta via il dolore
Mi accompagna questa musica
Mi muovo col tuo odore
Bello come chi non se lo immagina
The night takes the pain away
This music keeps me company
I move with your scent
Beautiful like someone who can't imagine it

“Amami” is a midnight confession of raw, all-consuming love. Under the cover of night, the singer finds relief from pain and lets music guide her closer to her partner. Surrounded by darkness and the fading glow of stars, she feels more beautiful than ever, moved by the scent, touch, and unspoken words they share. Each image – the earth, summer rain, a lighthouse beam – paints love as something nurturing, refreshing, and guiding.

Yet the song also knows how fragile passion can be. The plea “Amami senza un domani” (Love me with no tomorrow) asks for an intense, here-and-now connection that leaves no room for regrets. Wind may carry the love away, but in this fleeting moment it shines brighter than the stars she counts on her skin. “Amami” celebrates the courage to dive into love fully, heal old wounds, and feel undeniably alive, even if the sunrise might scatter everything to the breeze.

10. Dimentico Tutto (I Forget Everything)
Emma
Il sorriso non lo perder mai
Qualunque cosa ti accada
Qualcosa ti inventerai
Non la vedi ma è la tua strada
Never lose your smile
Whatever happens to you
You'll come up with something
You can't see it but it's your path

“Dimentico Tutto” (‘I Forget Everything’) is Emma’s adrenaline-charged pep talk for anyone who has ever felt weighed down by memories, mistakes, or shattered dreams. Over a pulsing pop-rock backdrop, she urges us to keep smiling, invent new paths, and view each sunset as if it were the very last. The repeated promise “dimentico tutto, dimentico tutti” is not about careless amnesia but about choosing to drop the baggage that keeps us from flying “sopra un mare di specchi” – above a sea of mirrors where we can finally see ourselves clearly.

At its heart, the song celebrates three liberating ideas: courage over fear, words over memories, and the present over the past. Emma reminds us that life hits hard yet also hands us the answers if we dare to look up, squeeze time in our palms, and dive into love without “nessuna tristezza.” By turning forgetfulness into freedom, she transforms personal struggle into a universal anthem of resilience – perfect for blasting when you need to start fresh and soar.
