Noemi’s “Un Uomo È Un Albero” paints the portrait of true strength through the simple, poetic image of a tree. Like a trunk that stands tall in wind and rain, a real human being stays rooted in honesty, dares to look at their own reflection, and stretches upward toward ideals. The lyrics urge us to drop excuses, speak plainly, and let go of bottled-up anger so that new “dawns of peace” can rise. In this vision, “a man” is not only male; it is anyone who possesses courage, dreams, and the resilience to keep growing.
Running through the song is a rallying cry: “Never give up.” Heavy boots may try to pin us down, storms may rage, yet love can fall “like rain” and nourish our roots. With its mix of rock energy and motivational spirit, the track invites learners to imagine themselves as sturdy trees—grounded, authentic, and always reaching higher.
Noemi, born Veronica Scopelliti in Rome in 1982, is one of Italy's most recognizable pop and soul voices. She first captured the public's attention in 2009 on the second season of the Italian talent show X Factor, and her debut single "Briciole" soon climbed to number two on the Italian singles chart.
Since then she has released a string of studio albums and become a familiar face at the Sanremo Music Festival, with songs like "Sono solo parole", "Glicine" and "Ti amo non lo so dire". Her rich, powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting have made her a mainstay of contemporary Italian music.
"Tu cosa fai questa sera" is a collaboration with Vito Salamanca, an Italian producer and artist known for blending modern hip hop with vintage, Latin-tinged influences.
