Verse 1

What did I promise you

I don't know, I don't remember now

Tell me what's wrong

We're inside glaciers

Ten days in one night

Ten mouths on my cocktail

If it's easier, text me

That you need what you lost

And it's fine once in a hundred

If you think about it you'll come crashing down

I don't have time, make up your mind

When work's over I think of you

I had dinner in bed with wine

Prechorus 1

And it shouldn't go like this

They don't make love in movies

Or: Love in the movies isn't like this

And maybe I won't get back to myself

But don't panic

Chorus 1

Look how hard it's raining

This Saturday

Because the last time is sacred

It's cold to go home

But it's not that bitter

Tonight we learn

Postchorus 1

And it's raining

And I'm out of

Out of me

And this house has

Nothing of

Nothing of you

But the last time is sacred

The last kiss in the street

Text me in an hour

They'll still be needed

Ten last times

Ten

Ten last times

Verse 2

Clothes out of place

Asleep in a parking lot

French kisses delivery

The fights in the apartment

I deserve a spiked latte

And I like it when you go overboard

I don't have time, make up your mind

But I'm not waiting for you

You remind me of a book I've read

Prechorus 2

And it shouldn't go like this

They don't make love in movies

And maybe I won't get back to myself

But don't panic

Chorus 2

Look how hard it's raining

This Saturday

Because the last time is sacred

It's cold to go home

But it's not that bitter

Tonight we learn

Postchorus 2

And it's raining

And I'm out of

Out of me

And this house has

Nothing of

Nothing of you

But the last time is sacred

The last kiss in the street

Text me in an hour

They'll still be needed

Ten last times

Bridge

In an hour

I never told you before

Maybe you already know

That I need what I've lost

Of that one time in a hundred

I won't get back to myself

Chorus 3

But don't panic

Look how hard it's raining

This Saturday

Because the last time is sacred

It's cold to go home

But it's not that bitter

Tonight we learn

Postchorus 3

And it's raining

And I'm out of

Out of me

And this house has

Nothing of

Nothing of you

But the last time is sacred

The last kiss in the street

Text me in an hour

They'll still be needed

Ten last times

Ten

Ten last times

Ten

scenate — scenes / melodramatic outbursts

Scenate is a fantastic Italian word that doesn't have a perfect one-word English translation. It means to "make a scene" and refers to loud, theatrical arguments or melodramatic outbursts full of emotion.

In the song, the line "Le scenate nell'appartamento" (The scenes in the apartment) paints a vivid picture of a passionate but tumultuous relationship. It's a word that captures the cinematic, high-drama feel of a fiery romance, making it both memorable and fun to learn.

Have you ever tried to end a messy relationship, only to turn the final goodbye into a bad habit? That endless cycle is the beat of Annalisa's pop track "Dieci" (Ten). The singer finds herself trapped in a romance that refuses to finish cleanly. She tells her lover that leaving will take "dieci ultime volte" (ten last times), because walking away for good is basically impossible. Between rain pouring down on a lonely Saturday and dinners consisting of wine straight on the bed, she tracks all the chaos: sleeping in parking lots, public screaming matches in the flat, and rushing through "baci francesi delivery" (French kisses on delivery).

Along the way, the lyrics offer great Italian phrases that mix sweet feelings with blunt impatience. When she sings "merito caffellatte corretto" (I deserve a spiked latte), she references a classic Italian morning habit: ordering a caffè corretto, which is an espresso "corrected" with a splash of liquor like grappa or sambuca. Dealing with all the drama clearly requires an extra kick! She knows the relationship is far from cinematic ("Non fanno l'amore nei film" [They don't make love like in the movies]), and she refuses to wait around ("Non ho tempo, deciditi" [I don't have time, make up your mind]). Yet the hook pulls her right back into the street for one more sacred final kiss.
