Anima translates to 'soul', a word rich with emotion and mystery. It's a beautiful term that goes deeper than just 'spirit' or 'heart'.
In this moving song, Irama paints a stunning picture with the line "Dove ogni anima ha un colore" (Where every soul has a color). This powerful, metaphorical phrase makes you wonder about the world he's describing and draws you into the song's deep, poetic core.
Picture a love so deep that it refuses to stay put. In Ovunque Sarai Irama sings of a bond that seeps into every corner of the universe: the wind that carries a melody, the water that sparkles in the sun, the moon that watches silently from the sky. Even when two people are separated by distance—or by time itself—the singer trusts that their essence will show up in nature’s smallest details. It is a gentle promise that presence can be felt without being seen, and that waiting can turn into a lifelong act of devotion.
Throughout the song Irama stacks vivid images like building blocks of hope. If the loved one becomes light they will warm him, if they turn into time he will wait forever, and if they are simply here his heart will recognize them. The message is clear: true connection never disappears, it just changes shape. The result is an emotional anthem that invites listeners to search for their own special people in every gesture, every silence, and every breath of the world around them.
Irama is the stage name of Filippo Maria Fanti, an Italian singer born in Carrara, Tuscany, in 1995, who moved with his family to the Monza area as a child. He first tried Sanremo in 2016 in the newcomers section with "Cosa resterà " and was knocked out early.
His break came in 2018, when he won the seventeenth edition of the TV talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi. That same year his EP Plume went triple platinum, carried by the hit "Nera". He has been a Sanremo regular since, with "La ragazza con il cuore di latta" in 2019, "La genesi del tuo colore" in 2021, "Ovunque sarai" in 2022, where he finished fourth, and "Lentamente" in 2025. His ballads lean on big, aching choruses, and his summer singles like "Mediterranea" go the opposite way.
