Affidarti comes from the verb affidare (to entrust) with the pronoun ti (you) attached, literally meaning “to entrust you”.
In the line "Proverò a non affidarti alle foto in cui ridiamo" the singer vows not to reduce their bond to mere photographs, making this expressive verb a memorable way to learn both emotion-filled vocabulary and how Italian sticks pronouns onto infinitives.
Imagine a love story told while standing in the doorway of an old summer house, bags packed yet heart unwilling to leave. La Vita e la Felicità is Michele Bravi’s tender confession of someone caught between going and staying, between the promise of "life and happiness" and the pull of a love that feels like home. The lyrics paint snapshots: childhood photos on the altar, nights spent awake waiting, the bittersweet size of a partner who is "tiny enough to hold in one hand" yet "a giant" whose past overshadows everything.
Bravi sings of uncertainty—no clear roads, no fixed beliefs—yet his message is hopeful. Even when seasons refuse to change and answers seem missing, the singer vows, "Here you will find me, any time you want to see me again." It is a gentle reminder that happiness is not a destination but the courage to keep the door open, forgive mistakes, and greet each new chance with a warm ciao amore.
Michele Bravi is an Italian singer-songwriter born on December 19, 1994, in Città di Castello, a small town in Italy's Umbria region.
He first became known in 2013, when he won the seventh season of the Italian version of X Factor at just 18 years old, standing out for his delicate, emotionally raw voice. His coronation single, "La vita e la felicità," written by Tiziano Ferro, went straight to number one in Italy, and his debut album followed in 2014.
Since then Bravi has built a career on intimate, introspective pop, returning several times to the Sanremo Music Festival and writing openly about identity, vulnerability, and mental health. His songs often explore the uneasy relationship between the self and the body it lives in.
