Canzone Lyrics in English Lucio Dalla

Fasten your seatbelt for a whirlwind of Italian passion! In “Canzone,” Lucio Dalla turns the very idea of a song into a devoted messenger. The narrator is bursting with impatience; every passing minute tempts him to “stitch up time” so he can be with the woman he adores. He confesses he could love her anywhere—in a noisy club bathroom, on a bar table, even naked in an open field—because distance from her is simply unbearable. His words paint a vivid picture of raw, almost reckless longing: “Being far from her isn’t living, being without her kills me.”

When he can’t reach her himself, he sends this “Canzone” wandering through streets and crowds, pleading: “Find her, tell her I love her, don’t let her forget me.” Rain becomes his tears, each drop on his jacket a reminder of her face. Beneath the playful images lies a universal truth: love, in all its urgency and imperfection, refuses to accept indifference. Lucio Dalla’s anthem reminds us that when feelings run this deep, even a simple melody can become a lifeline between two hearts.
