If a star slips
Behind your eyes
I won't ask you if it's her
What do you want tonight
Playing at being beautiful
I do not like it anymore
I won't swear to you except in my bed
Only you sleep
But love when it's here
Must run over a razor
Must live screaming, 'I die'
And never stop, never for a moment
But love, love
When you drink it it must make you drunk
It's only true if it can hurt you
Don't ever stop, never for a moment
Transparent sins
You do them but and you don't regret it
So I wish this story was here with you
You look like a child
With rifle in hand
But you won't have to defend yourself from me
And when a yawn
It will mark a farewell
I won't ask you to wait a while
It's my problem
But love when it's here
Must run over a razor
Must live screaming, 'I die'
And never stop, never for a moment
But love, love
When you drink it it must make you drunk
It's only true if it can hurt you
Don't ever stop, never for a moment
Transparent sins
You do them but and you don't regret it
So I wish this story was here with you
You look like a child
With rifle in hand
But you won't have to defend yourself from me

Rasoio translates to "razor". It's an unexpected and striking word to find in a love song, making it immediately memorable and intriguing.

In the lyrics, Loredana Bertè sings, "Ma l'amore quando è qui deve correre sopra un rasoio" (But love, when it's here, must run on a razor). This powerful metaphor conveys the idea that true love is dangerous, sharp, and requires immense courage, always on the edge of pain or exhilaration. It perfectly captures the intense and risky nature of the love she describes.

Loredana Bertè paints a picture of a love that is anything but ordinary in "Peccati Trasparenti" (Transparent Sins). The song describes a relationship built on a radical kind of honesty, where there are no promises of exclusivity or games of jealousy. The singer won't ask her lover if he's thinking of someone else, and she won't swear that he's the only one for her. This isn't about a lack of feeling; it's about a different kind of commitment—to passion itself.

The chorus reveals the song's core philosophy: love must be intense, dangerous, and intoxicating. Bertè uses powerful imagery to make her point:

  • Love must "run on a razor's edge."
  • It should be so overwhelming it makes you scream, "I'm dying!"
  • Like a strong drink, it must "intoxicate."
  • It's only real if it has the power to "hurt you."

This is a call for a love affair defined by "transparent sins"—actions taken without guilt or regret. It's a relationship where both people are free, even if it means living on the edge of heartbreak.
