Una Cantante Di Musica Leggera is a playful day-dream set to music. The narrator longs to fall for a “light-music singer” whose very presence feels weightless: as airy as a feather in the dark, as bubbly as evening Prosecco, as breezy as wind across the sea. With each image—from beach-novel romances to vegetarian dinners—he paints a world where love is simple, carefree and effortlessly enjoyable, just like the pop melodies she sings.
Yet beneath the carefree surface lies a sincere wish for authenticity. By comparing his dream girl to early-career Mina (Mazzini), the song nods to Italy’s golden age of pop while reminding us that genuine emotion can still emerge from lighthearted art. Tricarico and Arisa invite listeners to believe that real love, like a catchy chorus, can arrive unexpectedly, sweep us up and leave us humming long after the song fades.
