Nuvole Lyrics in English Arisa
Impasterò means "I will knead" and comes from the verb impastare. It's a less common verb in everyday conversation, making it interesting and unique.
In the song, the artist sings, "Io ci impasterò il pane per la libertà" (I will knead the bread for freedom). This powerful metaphor uses the act of kneading, a fundamental step in making bread, to symbolize the active and deliberate creation of freedom from her tears. It's a beautiful and evocative image.
Arisa's song "Nuvole," which means "Clouds" in Italian, paints a powerful picture of a difficult and painful love. The lyrics describe a relationship where dreams are as fragile as "soap bubbles in the air" (bolle di sapone nell'aria). The speaker feels her life has completely merged with her partner's, but it's a "love that makes you sick" (amore che ammala). Instead of affection, there are harsh words and even physical violence, with "hands that don't caress, but hit" (mani che non accarezzano, ma colpiscono).
Despite the pain, the song explores a repeating cycle. The speaker feels small and silenced, but then her partner returns, wants to go dancing, and shows affection. To keep the peace, she decides to "pretend nothing happened" (farò finta di niente), a phrase repeated throughout the song. The song ends with a glimmer of hope and strength. The speaker, who once felt like an angel but now doesn't know who she is, declares she will take her morning tears and "knead the bread for freedom" (ci impasterò il pane per la libertà), suggesting a desire to break free from this toxic situation.
