Siamo Lyrics in English by Eros Ramazzotti
The word "scintille" translates to "sparks" in English. It's a vivid and evocative word that paints a picture of energy and potential.
In the song, Eros Ramazzotti uses "scintille" to describe the inherent power and vibrancy of "us" (siamo scintille, siamo dinamite - we are sparks, we are dynamite). It suggests a latent energy, a beginning of something bright and impactful, making it a memorable and engaging word choice.
‘Siamo’ — Italian for ‘we are’ — repeats through nearly every line, turning the song into a list of things a couple becomes together rather than a single love-song image. Ramazzotti opens with a contradiction: ‘Siamo vetro sottile siamo duri a morire’ (‘We’re thin glass, we’re hard to kill’), fragile and unbreakable in the same breath. By the chorus the couple has become a weapon aimed at the sky: ‘Siamo sassi lanciati contro il cielo, che bucano la notte e arrivano alle stelle’ (‘We’re stones thrown against the sky, that pierce the night and reach the stars’).
The song keeps circling back to a plainer refrain — ‘Siamo io e te’ (‘It’s you and me’) — as if every grand comparison is really just a way of saying that. It closes the way it opened: two people, defined only by each other, with ‘niente di meglio che io e te’ (‘nothing better than you and me’).
