Imagine getting swept into a chilly Friday night in Venice’s iconic Piazza San Marco, where the beauty of the square almost hurts your eyes. Annalisa and Marco Mengoni turn this postcard setting into the stage for a messy, modern love story: two people queuing for a club, sipping bittersweet drinks that taste like the sea, and trading half–truths just to keep each other interested. Jealousy flickers every time one of them greets a “ragazza bionda,” yet they cannot resist staying close, warming their hands over a stolen lighter and pretending the night will never end.
The song captures that jittery mix of excitement and anxiety when you know a romance is toxic but the pull is irresistible. Sweet “caramelle” hide a hint of “arsenico,” and every dazzling moment is shadowed by the fear of police lights breaking up the party. By dawn, the crowds have vanished, yet their hands are still intertwined, proving that sometimes the most unforgettable nights are the ones that leave you asking, “Oddio, che ansia, però… was it worth it?”
