coriandoli — confetti

Coriandoli translates to "confetti". It's a visually evocative word that immediately brings to mind celebrations and festivities.

In the song, Fabrizio Moro uses it in the phrase "fra i coriandoli di questo assurdo carnevale" (among the confetti of this absurd carnival). This metaphor paints a picture of life as a chaotic, perhaps even nonsensical, celebration, where he refuses to be just a background character but rather the main actor. It's a unique and poetic way to describe the world around him.

Fabrizio Moro's "La mia voce," which translates to "My Voice," is a powerful anthem of defiance and self-determination. The singer rejects the idea of staying silent or hesitating, declaring, "Quello che sento non deve morire in me perché ci credo" (What I feel must not die in me because I believe in it). He refuses to be what others want him to be and insists that his voice and his "thirst" for expression cannot be ignored. This isn't just a song; it's a declaration of independence from a system that he feels "wants us as slaves."

Throughout the song, Moro positions himself as the captain of his own ship, the "attore principale" (main actor) in his own life, not just an extra. He challenges the idea of being controlled by a "padrone" (master) and asserts his freedom to follow his own path. He ends with a powerful statement of belief in himself, proclaiming that his voice is stronger than the identity of an era people have chosen not to live in, making this a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt silenced or discouraged from pursuing their dreams.
