Great hopes
Eyes open, heart half-closed
Follow me
I don't know where I am
On a meadow, on a minefield
How beautiful you are
I still haven't got used to you
You're the compass and the hurricane
The big freeze
Caught
At Milan station
They went to India
They died in India
They went back to India
And they waited in vain
Worldly and mystical
You only wanted electronic music
A straight kick, a straight kick
A straight kick in the soul
Great hopes
Eyes open, heart half-closed
While you look for parking
While you look for a destiny
A job, another life
This time in Turin
I'd come but I can't
The sea's rough
I'd come but I can't
The sea's rough
The sea's rough
The sea
You're the one who at night
Listens to others breathing
Worldly and mystical
You only wanted electronic music
A straight kick, a straight kick
A straight kick in the soul
Worldly and mystical
You only wanted electronic music
A straight kick, a straight kick
A straight kick in the soul
Here's the epicenter of melancholy
Everybody was on the phone
You went away
Now you make ten dollars an hour
You made America
Great again
From there with ultramodern techniques
And ancient patience
You make the arrangements for the next life
With you, the stars are kind
You can hope that when you do harm
It comes back to you hundredfold in good, hundredfold in good
With you, the moons are full
You can think that if you do harm
It comes back to you a hundredfold in good, a hundredfold in good
Worldly and mystical
You only wanted electronic music
A straight kick, a straight kick
A straight kick in the soul
Worldly and mystical
You only wanted electronic music
A straight kick, a straight kick
A straight kick in the soul

Centuplicato means 'multiplied by a hundred' or 'hundredfold'. It's a strong and less common word that emphasizes an extreme increase or return.

In

Vasco Brondi paints a picture of a person who is a walking contradiction, someone both "Mondana e mistica" (Worldly and mystical). The song's narrator sees this person as both a guide and a force of chaos, a "bussola e l'uragano" (compass and a hurricane). The lyrics describe a modern-day search for meaning, not in far-off places like India, but in the everyday grind of looking for a job, a parking spot, or a new life in a city like Turin. It's a journey filled with "Grandi speranze" (great hopes) but also uncertainty, like walking on a "campo minato" (minefield).

The heart of the song is the desire for something simple and powerful to cut through the confusion. This person doesn't want complex answers; they just want "musica elettronica" (electronic music) with a steady, driving beat—"Una cassa dritta nell'anima" (a straight kick drum in the soul). It's a modern kind of meditation, a way to feel something real amidst the "epicentro della malinconia" (epicenter of melancholy). The song captures the feeling of being young, hopeful, and a little lost in a world full of big dreams and everyday struggles.
