Mille literally means "thousand". While it's a common number, its repeated use in the song, especially in the chorus "Poi me ne restano mille" (Then a thousand remain for me), makes it incredibly intriguing.
In the context of the song, it refers to a countless number of things – perhaps problems, kisses, or experiences – that still await the singer. This simple word, central to the song's title and theme, sparks curiosity about what these "thousand" things could be, enticing listeners to delve deeper into the lyrics.
MILLE catapults you into a glamorous, slightly chaotic summer night where three very different Italian voices flirt over a fizzy pop beat. Fedez plays the smitten party-goer, totally hypnotised by a partner whose “lips red like Coca-Cola” and mysterious lipstick hit him harder than any drink. Between broken air-conditioners, late-night bungalows and cheeky invitations to “come upstairs,” the lyrics paint a comic strip of spontaneity: dancing a twist that feels straight out of Grease, roaring around in a black cabrio, and daring each other to stretch the night a little longer.
The title means “a thousand,” and that number is the punchline. Every sizzling kiss seems to wipe out one of life’s worries… but after each thrill, “poi me ne restano mille” – a thousand more pop back up. Instead of stressing, the trio turns those remaining problems into a reason to keep dancing under the falling stars. It is a lighthearted reminder that life will never be perfectly tidy, so you might as well throw on some bright lipstick, turn up the music and enjoy the ride.
