Coriandoli literally translates to "confetti". While it might seem like a simple word, it evokes a sense of celebration, joy, and lightness.
In the song, the lyrics describe someone's hair as looking like "coriandoli di stelle" (confetti of stars). This beautiful and imaginative simile creates a vivid image of sparkling, scattered light, making the word memorable and adding a touch of poetic whimsy to the description of beauty.
Sveglia means wake up, and Jalisse turns that everyday word into a playful anthem about shaking off laziness and rediscovering wonder. The song opens with a sleepy stumble from bedroom to kitchen, the singer dragging herself "like a soldier" in search of an elusive energy plug. Around her, the world spins at full speed — people rush, ask the routine Come stai?, and yet even in the haze she notices dazzling details: hair sparkling like star-shaped confetti, smiles that strike like summer lightning.
From that groggy morning scene, the chorus bursts with life, repeating "Ma quanta bella gente c'è stasera" — "Wow, there are so many beautiful people tonight". It is a sudden jolt of optimism that melts the heaviness in her stomach and lifts her onto a cloud where time seems to pause. In just a few minutes, Jalisse captures the swing between sluggishness and euphoria, inviting us to hit our inner alarm clock, look up, and remember how vibrant ordinary moments can be.
