The word "Meravigliosamente" means "wonderfully" or "marvelously." It's an adverb derived from "meraviglia" (wonder/marvel), and it's a beautiful, evocative word that isn't used in everyday conversation as frequently as simpler adverbs.
In the song, it's used to describe the profound and overwhelming feeling of love the singer has. It's not just good or great; it's wonderfully, marvelously, incredibly so, capturing the intense joy and magic of the relationship. The repetition of this word, especially as the song's title, makes it central to the song's theme of extraordinary love.
Meravigliosamente is a love song built as a direct appeal. Sal Da Vinci sings to one person, Marì, and nearly every line is addressed straight to her.
It opens by welcoming difficulty instead of avoiding it. A road with no obstacles would be worth nothing, so he blesses the hard parts and says he loves taking on the impossible, with no screens or excuses to hide behind. What he wants is simple and he says it plainly: to live with her in complete freedom, and for it to be more than a passing thrill or a cheap fantasy.
The chorus is a request rather than a boast. He asks her to let herself be loved and to let go, admitting that nobody knows what tomorrow brings or where this passion ends up. If certainty is what she wants, his answer is that he is already here. He also allows himself some playful confidence, calling himself caught in a magnificent spell and promising to keep outdoing himself until he wins her.
The second half opens outward. Courage is essential, he tells her, so dream and travel as much as you can and let it always be love. Their being together stops being private: the world needs them, people will watch and then copy them, because nothing is more intense or more captivating than the two of them.
The closing section gives the song its title. Every moment of his belongs to her, she lights the desire in him, and every sadness goes away. The word meravigliosamente (wonderfully) is repeated and held to the end, as the answer to how all of this happens.
