Måneskin es una banda de rock italiana formada en Roma en 2016 por cuatro compañeros de instituto: el vocalista Damiano David, la bajista Victoria De Angelis, el guitarrista Thomas Raggi y el baterista Ethan Torchio. El nombre viene del danés y significa "luz de luna", una idea de Victoria, que tiene raíces danesas.

Tras quedar segundos en el programa italiano X Factor, el grupo saltó a la fama mundial en 2021 al ganar el Festival de Sanremo y, poco después, el Festival de Eurovisión con "Zitti e buoni". Fueron la primera banda de rock en ganar Eurovisión desde 2006. Su estilo mezcla glam rock, garage y una puesta en escena provocadora que los ha convertido en uno de los grupos italianos más internacionales del momento.

Su tercer álbum de estudio, RUSH! (ARE U COMING?) (2023), fue el primero cantado casi por completo en inglés.

CONTENTS SUMMARY
Le Parole Lontane (Las Palabras Lejanas)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Me respirarás como el aire
El día que
Te esconderé dentro de frases que
No escucharás

Esta canción de Måneskin es una poderosa balada de rock que explora la dolorosa sensación de distancia en una relación. El cantante se siente desconectado de la persona que ama, repitiendo una y otra vez: "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" (Porque te siento lejana, lejana de mí). Es un grito desesperado por la conexión perdida, lleno de ansiedad y tristeza. Las imágenes son intensas: habla de beber lágrimas amargas y de querer perderse en el mar para escapar del dolor.

La letra sugiere que la relación se rompió porque uno de ellos no pudo aceptar el cambio, describiendo el error de la otra persona como "amarmi come se domani il mondo fosse uguale a com'era ieri" (amarme como si mañana el mundo fuera igual a como era ayer). Hay una lucha interna entre querer creer que el amor todavía es real y la abrumadora sensación de que todo se está desmoronando. El cantante incluso le pide a una figura llamada Marlena que lo lleve a casa, mostrando una profunda vulnerabilidad y miedo a enfrentar el frío invierno solo.

Le Parole Lontane (The Distant Words)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Like the air you'll breathe me
The day that
I'll hide you in phrases that
You won't hear

This song is a massive, emotional power ballad about distance and things left unsaid. The singer feels someone pulling away, and it's driving him crazy. He accuses them of a specific mistake: "l'errore tuo / È stato amarmi come se domani / il mondo fosse uguale / a com'era ieri" (your mistake / was to love me as if tomorrow / the world would be the same / as it was yesterday). It's a really interesting way of saying their partner couldn't handle change, and that's what broke them.

The whole song is filled with this feeling of desperation. He begs to be allowed to just get lost in his feelings, to "perdere / dentro l'acqua del mare" (get lost / inside the sea water). He feels this huge need to scream "le parole lontane" (the distant words) at this person, but he can't, because they are just too far away. He even calls out for a character named Marlena to take him home because he's scared and cold, showing a moment of pure vulnerability amidst all the rock and roll angst.

L'altra Dimensione (The Other Dimension)
E adesso giuro faccio le valigie
E scappo via in un'altra dimensione
Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie
Voglio un mondo rosa pieno di colore
And now I swear, I pack my bags
And I escape to another dimension
I'm tired of your gray faces
I want a rosy world full of color

This song is a full-on rebellion against a boring, grey world. The singer is sick of it, declaring, "Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie" (I'm tired of your grey faces) and the kind of society where people "comprate amore con le carte Visa" (buy love with Visa cards). He's packing his bags and escaping to "un'altra dimensione" (another dimension), a place that's colorful and real.

His guide to this new world is a mysterious figure named Marlena. She is the key to everything. He begs her, "Marlena sì portami a ballare" (Marlena, yes, take me dancing). This isn't just a party; it's a total transformation. By following her, he is reborn "dalla polvere come Fenice" (from the dust like a Phoenix) and learns to fly. This new dimension is "Il ballo della vita" (the dance of life), a passionate state of being where he can finally live freely.

ZITTI E BUONI (BE QUIET AND GOOD)
Loro non sanno di che parlo
Vestiti sporchi, fra', di fango
Giallo di siga' fra le dita
Io con la siga' camminando
They don't know what I'm talking about
Dirty clothes, bro, of mud
Yellow of cig between the fingers
Me with the cig walking

This song is a massive, loud statement about being different and not caring who knows it. Måneskin kicks things off by telling the audience to "stare zitti e buoni" (be quiet and good), which is exactly what they refuse to do. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels misunderstood, with "vestiti sporchi, fra', di fango" (dirty clothes, bro, of mud) and a life lived on their own terms. They know the road ahead is "in salita" (uphill), but they're determined to make the leap anyway.

The chorus is the heart of the song: "Sono fuori di testa, ma diverso da loro" (I'm out of my mind, but different from them). It’s a celebration of being an outsider and finding your own people who are also "fuori di testa" (out of their minds). The song pushes back against people who talk without understanding, saying "Parla, non sa di che cosa parla" (They talk, they don't know what they're talking about). It's a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit in, telling them to embrace their uniqueness and ignore the noise.

Morirò Da Re (I'll Die A King)
Pronta che non sarà facile, tutta in salita
Allora prendi tutto quanto
Baby, prepara la valigia
Metti le calze a rete, il tacco
Get ready, because it won't be easy, all uphill
So take everything
Baby, pack your suitcase
Put on the fishnets, the high heels

Måneskin kicks this song off with a direct invitation to an adventure. The singer asks a "bella señorita" (beautiful lady) to take his hand and join him in a wild, creative life. They're going to "Disegniamo sopra il mondo con una matita" (draw on the world with a pencil) and even hang from a moving train by their fingertips. He's honest that it won't be easy, warning her that the path is "tutta in salita" (all uphill), but the journey is what matters.

The chorus is the heart of the song: with his love by his side, he feels so powerful and fulfilled that he will "morirò da re" (die like a king). It's a promise of a life lived so fully that even the end feels like a victory. Later, a mysterious figure named Marlena is addressed. She's encouraged to be free, to travel light, and to "mostra la bellezza a questo popolo" (show [your] beauty to these people), becoming a symbol of liberation and authentic self-expression.

Torna A Casa (Come Back Home)
Cammino per la mia città ed il vento soffia forte
Mi son lasciato tutto indietro e il sole all'orizzonte
Vedo le case da lontano, hanno chiuso le porte
Ma per fortuna ho la sua mano e le sue guance rosse
I walk around my city and the wind blows hard
I left everything behind and the sun on the horizon
I see the houses from afar, they've closed the doors
But luckily I have her hand and her red cheeks

This song is a desperate and beautiful plea for someone named Marlena to come home. The singer feels lost without her, singing, "Quindi Marlena torna a casa / Che il freddo qua si fa sentire" (So Marlena, come home / Because the cold is making itself felt here). He's afraid of fading away completely without her by his side. She is the one who saved him when he was at his lowest, covered in thorns and snakebites. She gave him the courage to start a new life and a new journey, and he promised to walk with her until their hair turned white.

But who is Marlena? For Måneskin, she's more than just a person. Marlena is their muse, a symbol of freedom, creativity, and life itself. When the singer describes his past as being "solo un pazzo" (just a madman) with a crumpled jacket and cuts on his wrists, he's talking about a life without this inspiration. Marlena is the force that brought "luce dentro le tenebre" (light into the darkness) and freed him. So when he begs her to come back, he's calling out for the very spirit that makes him feel alive and able to create.

IL DONO DELLA VITA (THE GIFT OF LIFE)
Stronzi vi vedo, siete bianchi in faccia
Le malelingue sono andate via
Il suono della tua brutta risata
Mi ha aperto il passo per la retta via
Assholes, I see you, you're pale-faced
The slanderers have gone away
The sound of your ugly laughter
It has opened the way for me to the right path

This song is a massive comeback story, a real middle finger to anyone who ever doubted the singer. It kicks off by calling people out directly: "Stronzi vi vedo, siete bianchi in faccia" (I see you, assholes, you're pale-faced). He says their ugly laughter and criticism actually helped him find his way. Now, he tells them to watch him "volo in alto / E tocco il sole ma non cado mica io" (fly high / And I touch the sun but I don't fall). It's a powerful image of succeeding against the odds, especially after feeling completely alone, saying even "Dio era girato di spalle" (God had his back turned) when he was falling.

The motivation here is incredibly personal and strong. The singer talks about being reborn from his own ashes like a phoenix, all so he can "non vedere più mia madre stanca / Ridarle indietro il dono della vita" (no longer see my mother tired / To give her back the gift of life). It's not just about personal glory; it's about paying back the person who gave him everything by working so hard he breaks his own body. The song ends with this feeling of a powerful force building inside, a constant breath and a light that breaks through the ground, showing that even when his legs give out, his heart keeps beating.

MARK CHAPMAN (KILLER OF JOHN LENNON)
Nascosto fra la gente
Senza un'identità
Dice che mi ama ma lo so che mente
Rinchiuso in quattro mura
Hidden among the people
Without an identity
He says that he loves me but I know that he's lying
Locked within four walls

This song is named after Mark Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon, and it dives straight into the terrifying world of a celebrity stalker. Måneskin isn't subtle here. The song describes a fan whose adoration has twisted into a dangerous obsession. He's a nobody, "Nascosto fra la gente / Senza un'identità" (Hidden among the people / Without an identity), who claims to love the star but is full of lies.

The lyrics paint a chilling portrait of this person. He's described as moving around freely, "Vestito come un incubo" (Dressed like a nightmare), wanting the object of his obsession to be in danger while calling them an idol. The obsession is total; he doesn't just want to be like the star, "vuole essere te" (he wants to be you). The song builds to a terrifying climax, warning that you might find him outside your house "Con un coltello in mano / Perché non hai risposto a un suo messaggio" (With a knife in his hand / Because you didn't answer one of his messages). It's a blunt and scary look at the darkest side of fame.

CORALINE
Dimmi le tue verità, Coraline, Coraline
Dimmi le tue verità, Coraline, Coraline
Dimmi le tue verità, Coraline, Coraline
Dimmi le tue verità, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline
Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

This song tells the story of a girl named Coraline. She's described as a "guerriera dal cuore zelante" (warrior with a zealous heart) who is as "bella come il sole" (beautiful as the sun), but she's carrying a huge amount of pain. The singer sees her as someone who takes on everyone else's sadness, and it's breaking her. She "vuole il mare ma ha paura dell'acqua" (wants the sea but is afraid of water), a line that perfectly describes her inner conflict and fear of the very things she desires.

The narrator acts as her protector, pleading with her to share her truth and promising to be her shield. He sees how words hurt her, saying "ogni parola è un'ascia / Un taglio sulla schiena" (every word is an axe / a cut on her back). The song reveals some of the sources of her pain: she had a terrible father and has experienced a deep, personal loss. The story is a fairytale-like narrative about a girl trapped by her trauma and the person who wants to help her find a way out.

VENT'ANNI (TWENTY YEARS)
Io c'ho vent'anni
Perciò non ti stupire se dal niente faccio drammi
Ho paura di lasciare al mondo soltanto denaro
Che il mio nome scompaia tra quelli di tutti gli altri
I'm twenty years old
So don't be surprised if from nothing I make drama
I'm afraid of leaving only money to the world
That my name disappears among all the others

This song is a powerful letter from Måneskin's lead singer, Damiano, to his younger self and to anyone else who is twenty. It's all about the intense mix of fear and ambition you feel at that age. He admits he makes drama out of nothing, "non ti stupire se dal niente faccio drammi" (so don't be surprised if I make drama out of nothing), but it comes from a real place: the fear of his name disappearing among all the others. He feels the pressure to make a mark on the world, and fast.

The song lays out the huge choices you face when you're young: "Scegli amore o diamanti, demoni o santi" (Choose love or diamonds, demons or saints). You can either fight for your dreams or walk away and blame someone else. He pushes for authenticity and fighting for what you believe in, wanting to "spiegare cos'è il colore a chi vede bianco e nero" (explain what color is to those who see in black and white). It's a blunt, urgent message to stay true to yourself and run towards your goals, because even though you're only twenty, time is already flying.

Torna A Casa (Vuelve a casa)
Cammino per la mia città ed il vento soffia forte
Mi son lasciato tutto indietro e il sole all'orizzonte
Vedo le case da lontano, hanno chiuso le porte
Ma per fortuna ho la sua mano e le sue guance rosse
Camino por mi ciudad y el viento sopla fuerte
Me he dejado todo atrás y el sol en el horizonte
Veo las casas de lejos, han cerrado las puertas
Pero por suerte tengo su mano y sus mejillas rojas

¿Alguna vez has sentido que sin esa persona especial todo a tu alrededor se vuelve frío e insoportable? En "Torna A Casa", la banda italiana Måneskin construye una poderosa balada rock guiada por la desesperación de recuperar a "Marlena". El narrador describe cómo ella lo rescató del fondo cuando estaba "coperto di spine coi morsi di mille serpenti" (cubierto de espinas con las mordeduras de mil serpientes). Para ilustrar esta aventura épica, recurre a figuras clásicas de la literatura fantástica diciendo "Alice, le sue meraviglie e il cappellaio matto" (Alicia, sus maravillas y el sombrerero loco), dejando claro que el camino juntos es único y desafiante.

El corazón del tema es esa súplica constante en el estribillo: "Quindi Marlena torna a casa, che il freddo qua si fa sentire" (Así que Marlena vuelve a casa, que el frío aquí se hace notar). Con solo un papel y medio cigarrillo en la mano, confiesa sin rodeos que "la vita senza te non può essere perfetta" (la vida sin ti no puede ser perfecta) y admite el terror de desvanecerse si ella no regresa: "ho paura di sparire" (tengo miedo de desaparecer). Es una canción directa, intensa y llena de contrastes, donde el dolor de las heridas del pasado se transforma en pura energía para pedirle a su musa que vuelva a su lado.

L'altra Dimensione (La Otra Dimensión)
E adesso giuro faccio le valigie
E scappo via in un'altra dimensione
Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie
Voglio un mondo rosa pieno di colore
Y ahora juro que hago las maletas
Y me escapo a otra dimensión
Estoy cansado de vuestras caras grises
Quiero un mundo rosa lleno de color

¡Prepárate para una dosis de pura energía rockera de Måneskin! Esta canción es un grito de guerra contra el aburrimiento y la conformidad. El cantante está harto de un mundo gris y superficial, y lo dice sin rodeos: "Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie / Voglio un mondo rosa pieno di colore" [Estoy cansado de vuestras caras grises / Quiero un mundo rosa lleno de color]. Su plan es radical: "faccio le valigie / E scappo via in un'altra dimensione" [hago las maletas / Y me escapo a otra dimensión]. Es una rebelión total contra una sociedad donde la gente "comprate amore con le carte Visa" [compra amor con tarjetas Visa].

Pero no se va solo. La clave de su escape es una figura misteriosa y poderosa llamada Marlena. Ella es su guía hacia esta nueva vida, la que le lleva al "ballo della vita" [baile de la vida]. Gracias a ella, el cantante experimenta una transformación increíble, resurgiendo "dalla polvere come Fenice" [del polvo como un Fénix]. Marlena no es solo una compañera de baile; es una maestra a la que le pide: "insegnami a lottare" [enséñame a luchar]. La canción es una celebración de la libertad, la pasión y el coraje de dejar atrás lo que te apaga para encontrar algo que te haga sentir vivo.

Morirò Da Re (Moriré Como Rey)
Hey, it's Måneskin, yeah
E allora prendi la mia mano, bella señorita
Disegniamo sopra il mondo con una matita
Resteremo appesi al treno solo con le dita
Hey, es Måneskin, yeah
Y entonces toma mi mano, bella señorita
Dibujemos sobre el mundo con un lápiz
Nos quedaremos colgados del tren solo con los dedos

«Morirò Da Re» presenta una aventura romántica y desafiante. La voz de la canción invita a su compañera a tomarle la mano y a “disegnare sopra il mondo con una matita” [dibujar el mundo con un lápiz], como si los dos pudieran inventar su propio camino. El viaje no será cómodo: van “appesi al treno solo con le dita” [colgados del tren solo con los dedos] y todo estará “in salita” [cuesta arriba]. Aun así, él le pide que prepare la maleta, se ponga las medias de red y los tacones para brillar juntos en una noche gris. La frase del estribillo, “accanto a te, io morirò da re” [a tu lado, moriré como un rey], no habla de riqueza: expresa que estar con ella le da una sensación de orgullo y grandeza, incluso frente al peligro.

La canción también tiene una actitud de avance: aunque esté enfermo o agotado, él seguirá “come fuoco” [como el fuego] para enfrentarse a “il branco” [la manada, el grupo que podría atacarlo o detenerlo]. Le dice a su compañera que seque el llanto y que puede “cadere in piedi anche dall’alto” [caer de pie incluso desde lo alto], una imagen exagerada y divertida para decirle que es fuerte y sabe levantarse. Después aparece Marlena, a quien anima a “vincere la sera” [vencer la noche], viajar ligera y mostrar su belleza a la gente. Entre trenes, velas, ropa llamativa y una partida sin vuelta atrás, el mensaje es sencillo y atrevido: lanzarse al camino juntos, sin pedir permiso, y sentirse invencibles mientras dure la aventura.

Le Parole Lontane (De Verre Woorden)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Als de lucht zul je me inademen
De dag dat
Ik je zal verstoppen in zinnen die
Je niet zult horen

In "Le Parole Lontane" zingt Måneskin over de pijn van emotionele afstand in een relatie. De zanger voelt dat zijn geliefde ver weg is, ook al zijn ze misschien fysiek dichtbij. Hij schreeuwt het bijna uit: "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" (Omdat ik voel dat je ver, ver van me bent). Het hele nummer is doordrenkt met dit gevoel van vervreemding en de angst om iemand te verliezen.

De tekst zit vol met krachtige beelden van angst en verdriet. Hij zingt over het gevoel van paniek dat opkomt en het drinken van bittere tranen: "Che sento l'ansia che sale / Bevo le lacrime amare" (Dat ik de angst voel opkomen / Ik drink de bittere tranen). Er is een verlangen om te ontsnappen, om te verdwijnen in de zee. Het is een lied over onuitgesproken woorden, de "parole lontane" (verre woorden) uit de titel, die hij wanhopig wil uitschreeuwen. Het is een emotionele rockballad over een liefde die worstelt met verandering en de koude winter die op de loer ligt.

Le Parole Lontane (Далекие слова)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Ты будешь дышать мной, как воздухом
В тот день, когда
Я спрячу тебя в фразах, которые
Ты не услышишь

Эта песня — настоящий эмоциональный взрыв, который начинается с мощного образа: "Come l'aria mi respirerai" (Ты будешь дышать мной, как воздухом). Певец обращается к кому-то, кто был для него всем, но теперь чувствуется невероятно далеко. Вся песня пронизана этим ощущением дистанции, как в припеве, где он снова и снова повторяет: "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" (Потому что я чувствую, что ты далеко, далеко от меня).

Главный герой переживает разрыв или отдаление, наполненное тревогой ("sento l'ansia che sale" — я чувствую, как нарастает тревога) и горечью ("Bevo le lacrime amare" — я пью горькие слёзы). Он отчаянно хочет выкричать слова, которые застряли внутри, те самые "parole lontane" (далёкие слова) из названия. В песне появляется загадочная Марлена, к которой он обращается с просьбой: "Marlena portami a casa che mi spaventa l'inverno" (Марлена, забери меня домой, потому что меня пугает зима). Марлена — это не реальная девушка, а муза группы, символ свободы и спасения. Он ищет у неё утешения от холода и страха, которые принесла с собой эта потеря.

LA FINE (THE END)
Mi sveglio ed è passato un anno
Ed io che sono ancora stanco
Con la valigia sotto braccio
Non so nemmeno dove vado
I wake up and a year has passed
And I'm still tired
With the suitcase under his arm
I don't even know where I'm going

Måneskin really lays out the dark side of success in "LA FINE." The song kicks off with a feeling of total exhaustion and confusion: "Mi sveglio ed è passato un anno / Ed io che sono ancora stanco" (I wake up and a year has passed / And I'm still tired). The singer has traveled the world, but it's not what he expected. Instead of glamour, he describes pushing his head in the mud and hearing people call him a "bastardo" (bastard). It's a blunt look at how achieving a dream can feel more like a nightmare.

The whole song is built around a pretty cynical idea: "Se tutti quanti ora ti stanno amando / Sappi che non è l'inizio, è la fine" (If everyone is loving you now / Know that it's not the beginning, it's the end). For them, widespread adoration isn't a launchpad; it's the peak right before the fall. He warns that even the best things have a painful side, saying "Anche la rosa più bella ha le spine" (Even the most beautiful rose has thorns). The choice he presents is stark: "partire / O restare a marcire" (to leave / Or stay and rot). It's a powerful and defiant song about the emptiness that can come with getting everything you thought you wanted.

IL DONO DELLA VITA (DAS GESCHENK DES LEBENS)
Stronzi vi vedo, siete bianchi in faccia
Le malelingue sono andate via
Il suono della tua brutta risata
Mi ha aperto il passo per la retta via
A*schlöcher, ich seh euch, ihr seid blass im Gesicht
Die bösen Zungen sind weg
Der Klang deines hässlichen Lachens
Hat mir den Weg auf den richtigen Pfad geebnet

In diesem kraftvollen Rocksong rechnet die italienische Band Måneskin direkt mit allen Zweiflern und falschen Freunden ab. Schon die allererste Zeile trifft mitten ins Gesicht: Stronzi vi vedo, siete bianchi in faccia („Ihr Arschlöcher, ich sehe euch, ihr seid kreidebleich im Gesicht“). Wer nach all den fiesen Gerüchten (le malelingue) und dem hämischen Lachen auf den Absturz gehofft hat, wird enttäuscht. Der Song nutzt das Bild des Ikarus, dreht es aber komplett um: Er berührt zwar die Sonne, stürzt aber eben nicht ab (E tocco il sole ma non cado mica io). Stattdessen verbrennt er symbolisch und ersteht wie ein Phönix aus der eigenen Asche wieder auf (Io rinasco dalla mia cenere).

Es geht hier aber nicht nur um Trotz gegen Feinde, sondern um pure Hingabe für die eigene Familie. Die Zeile Per non vedere più mia madre stanca, ridarle indietro il dono della vita („Um meine Mutter nicht mehr müde zu sehen, ihr das Geschenk des Lebens zurückzugeben“) zeigt den eigentlichen Antrieb hinter all der harten Arbeit. Er ist bereit, sich Knochen, Arme und Beine kaputtzumachen (Spaccarmi schiena, mani, gambe e braccia), um stolz auf seine Mühe zu sein. Selbst wenn sich sogar Gott abwendet, reicht am Ende ein einziger Sonnenstrahl und ein Herz, das trotz allem weiterschlägt (Ma il cuore mi batte ancora).

Le Parole Lontane (Kaukaiset sanat)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Kuin ilmaa hengität minua
Sinä päivänä kun
Piilotan sinut lauseisiin, joita
Et kuule

Italialaisen rockyhtye Måneskinin kappaleessa Le Parole Lontane huudetaan suoraan sydämestä, kun yhteys toiseen ihmiseen alkaa murentua. Laulaja toistelee tuskaista lausetta Perché ti sento lontana da me (Koska tunnen sinun olevan kaukana minusta). Kappaleessa menetettyä rakkautta tai etäisyyttä ei peitellä: kertoja nielee kirpeitä kyyneleitä (Bevo le lacrime amare) ja anoo lupaa upota meriveteen, jotta voisi huutaa nuo kaukaiset sanat ilmoille.

Biisin edetessä epätoivo vain kasvaa, ja mukaan astuu bändin tuotannosta tuttu hahmo: Marlena portami a casa che il tuo sorriso è stupendo (Marlena vie minut kotiin, sillä hymysi on upea). Kertoja palelee, jalat pettävät alta (Le gambe stanno cedendo) ja talvi pelottaa ilman Marlenan läsnäoloa. Jos hän menettää tämän ihmisen, hän ei näe enää edes metriä eteensä. Lopulta laulaja piilottaa toisen lauseisiin, joita tämä ei koskaan kuule.

Le Parole Lontane (Daleke riječi)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Kao zrak ćeš me disati
Dan kad
Sakrit ću te unutar rečenica koje
Nećeš čuti

Måneskin u ovoj pjesmi donosi mješavinu očaja i hladnoće kroz priču o nekome tko se nepovratno udaljava. Pjevač doslovno pije vlastite gorke suze dok ga hvata panika: „Bevo le lacrime amare” (Pijem gorke suze). Zanimljivo je kako se obraća Marlena, muzi koja se često pojavljuje u njihovim ranim pjesmama, i moli je za spas: „Marlena portami a casa che il tuo sorriso è stupendo” (Marlena, vodi me kući jer ti je osmijeh predivan). Bez nje, hladnoća zime postaje nepodnošljiva, noge mu klecaju, a vid mu se magli toliko da ne vidi ni metar ispred sebe.

Posebno je upečatljiva slika tišine i spaljenih uspomena. Kaže da će vrijeme uništiti sve papire koji govore o njoj, dok će njih dvoje pjevati zajedno, ali potpuno nijemi: „Canteremo insieme ma restando muti” (Pjevat ćemo zajedno, ali ostajući nijemi). Te daleke riječi koje želi vrištati ostaju zarobljene u njemu, ponavljajući onaj bolni refren: „ti sento lontana da me” (osjećam te daleko od sebe). Pjesma te odmah uvuče u taj osjećaj gubitka tla pod nogama.

Le Parole Lontane (Távoli szavak)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Mint a levegőt, úgy lélegzel majd engem
Azon a napon, amikor
Elrejtelek majd mondatokba, amiket
Nem hallasz majd

A Måneskin ezzel a számmal egyenesen a kétségbeesés közepébe ránt be. Az énekes nem finomkodik: azonnal hallod a fojtogató feszültséget, amikor azt kiáltja, hogy „sento l'ansia che sale” (érzem, ahogy felkúszik a szorongás), miközben keserű könnyeket nyel. A kapcsolat menthetetlenül szétcsúszik, a másik fél egyre messzebb sodródik, és a szöveg tele van erős, szinte kézzelfogható fizikai képekkel. Fázik, remeg a lába („le gambe stanno cedendo” – a lábaim feladják a szolgálatot), és retteg a közelgő téltől.

Feltűnik a zenekar dalaiból jól ismert titokzatos alak, Marlena is: „Marlena portami a casa che il tuo sorriso è stupendo” (Marlena, vigyél haza, mert a mosolyod csodás). Marlena itt a megmentő, a menedék lenne a hideg elől, de a távolság kettejük között túl nagy. A dal végig ezzel a tehetetlen dühvel és fájdalommal zakatol, ahogy az el nem mondott szavakat próbálja beleüvölteni a tenger habjaiba, miközben tudja, hogy a másik már aligha hallja meg.

Le Parole Lontane (De fjerne ordene)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Som luften vil du puste meg
Den dagen
Vil jeg gjemme deg inni setninger som
Du ikke vil høre

Måneskin serverer en dramatisk og sår rockeballade med «Le Parole Lontane», hvor teksten kretser rundt en dyp følelse av avstand og desperasjon. Vokalisten synger rett ut om frykten for å miste kontakten: «Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me» (Fordi jeg føler deg langt borte, langt borte fra meg). Det er ikke spart på de store bildene her. Han svelger bitre tårer («Bevo le lacrime amare»), vil rope ut de fjerne ordene, og ber om å få drukne i sjøvannet fremfor å kjenne på angsten som stiger.

Midt i alt det overveldende kaoset dukker det opp en bønn rettet mot en person ved navn Marlena: «Marlena portami a casa che mi spaventa l'inverno» (Marlena, ta meg med hjem for jeg er redd for vinteren). Kulden setter seg i kroppen, beina svikter («Le gambe stanno cedendo»), og han er redd for å miste sikten helt hvis hun blir borte. Likevel ender alt i et merkelig, vakkert paradoks hvor de synger sammen i total taushet («Canteremo insieme ma restando muti») og han gjemmer seg i setninger hun aldri vil få høre.

Le Parole Lontane (Die fernen Worte)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Wie die Luft wirst du mich atmen
Der Tag, an dem
Ich werde dich in Sätzen verstecken, die
Du nicht hören wirst

In "Le Parole Lontane" von Måneskin dreht sich alles um die schmerzhafte Distanz zwischen zwei Menschen. Der Sänger spürt förmlich, wie die Verbindung bröckelt: „Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me“ (Weil ich dich fern fühle, weit weg von mir). Die Bilder sind dramatisch und intensiv. Er ertränkt seine Sorgen symbolisch im Meer („Ti prego lasciami perdere / Dentro l'acqua del mare“ – Bitte lass mich im Meerwasser versinken) und schluckt bittere Tränen herunter, während die Angst in ihm aufsteigt. Sogar das gemeinsame Schweigen fühlt sich wie ein Lied an („Canteremo insieme ma restando muti“ – Wir werden zusammen singen, aber stumm bleiben).

Mitten in dieser Verzweiflung taucht ein ganz bestimmter Name auf: Marlena. Er bittet sie flehend: „Marlena portami a casa che il tuo sorriso è stupendo“ (Marlena, bring mich nach Hause, denn dein Lächeln ist wunderschön). Ihr Fehlen macht ihm buchstäblich Angst vor der Kälte und lässt ihn erblinden: „Ma sai se adesso ti perdo / Non vedo neanche più a un metro“ (Aber weißt du, wenn ich dich jetzt verliere, sehe ich nicht einmal mehr einen Meter weit). Es ist ein ehrlicher, verzweifelter Hilferuf an eine Person, die ihm entgleitet.

Le Parole Lontane (Ďaleké slová)
Come l'aria mi respirerai
Il giorno che
Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che
Non sentirai
Budeš ma dýchať ako vzduch
V deň, keď
Skryjem ťa do fráz, ktoré
Nebudeš počuť

Pripravte sa na poriadnu dávku emócií s piesňou "Le Parole Lontane" od talianskej rockovej kapely Måneskin! Táto pieseň je ako intenzívny rozhovor s niekým, kto sa vzďaľuje, a vy sa snažíte pochopiť, čo sa deje.

Texty sú plné úzkosti a zúfalstva z toho, že strácate milovanú osobu. Spievajú o tom, ako sa ten druhý "come l'aria mi respirerai" [ako vzduch ma budeš dýchať] a ako ho skryjú "dentro frasi che non sentirai" [vnútri fráz, ktoré nebudete počuť]. Je to taký ten pocit, keď viete, že niekto robí chybu, keď vás miluje, akoby sa nič nemalo zmeniť, ale vy cítite, ako sa všetko rúca. Prosia: "Ti prego lasciami perdere dentro l'acqua del mare" [Prosím, nechaj ma stratiť sa v morskej vode], pretože chcú kričať tie "parole lontane" [vzdialené slová], ktoré sa zdajú byť preč. Opakované "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" [Pretože ťa cítim ďaleko, ďaleko odo mňa] je naozaj silné a vyjadruje tú bolesť z odlúčenia. Je to pieseň o tom, ako sa snažíte udržať niečo, čo sa už možno nedá zachrániť, a o tej hlbokej túžbe, aby sa veci vrátili do normálu, aj keď viete, že sa to nestane.
