Picture yourself on Lake Como, where the morning wind Tivàn blows from the mountains and the afternoon breeze Bréva sweeps back from the plains. Davide Van De Sfroos turns these two famous winds into playful rivals who tug at a lone sailor’s boat, inflating the sail one moment and whipping up a storm the next. The lyrics paint the lake as a dazzling chessboard – bright Valtellina on one side, dark Valtellina on the other – while the sky toys with sudden sunshine and explosive thunder. Everyone on shore prays for safety as waves rise like mischievous pawns, yet our narrator laughs at danger, refusing to abandon the thrill of the ride.
Beneath the spray and booming clouds, the song delivers a cheeky life lesson: let the winds push and pull you, but keep your hand on the rudder. The lake can be capricious, even treacherous, yet its wild beauty invites you to embrace risk, dance with chaos, and savor the adventure instead of staying dry on the shore. "Brèva E Tivàn" is both a tribute to Lombardy’s legendary winds and a vibrant metaphor for facing life head-on, gusts, storms, and all.
