Volevi Un Amore Grande Lyrics in English Loredana Bertè
Scompiglio translates to "disarray" or "turmoil." It's a vivid word that describes a state of confusion or disorder, often caused by an unexpected event or person.
In the song, the singer uses scompiglio to describe the chaos she brings into her lover's well-ordered life, singing "Lo scompiglio adesso c'è / Dentro, nei progetti tuoi" (The disarray is now there / Inside, in your plans). It perfectly captures the disruptive, yet empowering, role she plays in breaking free from a relationship that no longer serves her.
Have you ever been in a relationship that one person took way more seriously than the other? In "Volevi Un Amore Grande," Loredana Bertè sings from the perspective of a woman who is breaking free and causing chaos in her lover's life. He thought she was his completely, "tied hand and foot to you" (Mani e piedi stretta a te). But for her, it was just a fling, a "journey or a weekend" (un viaggio / O un week-end).
The song's title is wonderfully ironic. The chorus repeats, "You wanted a great love / The kind that changes a life" (Volevi un amore grande / Quelli che cambiano una vita). He got his wish, but not how he expected! His life is changed because she is leaving him. She taunts his weakness, pointing out how the man who acted so "macho" (maschio) is now crying like a "little chick" (pulcino). It's a powerful anthem about a woman taking control and shattering a man's possessive expectations.
