È L'amore Che Conta Lyrics in English by Giorgia
Contorta literally means "twisted" or "convoluted". It's a fantastic and descriptive Italian adjective that you don't hear every day.
In this powerful ballad, Giorgia sings that love is a "strada contorta" (a twisted road). This metaphor paints a realistic picture of love's journey: it's not logical or straightforward, but a complex and winding path that is ultimately the only thing that truly matters.
This song is a powerful statement about what really matters in life. Giorgia sings about having made mistakes and carrying the bruises from them: "Di errori ne ho fatti / Ne porto i lividi" (I've made mistakes / I carry the bruises). But she's not dwelling on the past. Instead, she's focused on a new path, declaring that what's truly important is love.
She knows people might call her crazy or unambitious, but she says that's just "il prezzo di essere stata sincera" (the price of having been sincere). For her, love isn't about logic or convenience; it's a "strada contorta" (a twisted road). The main message is right there in the title: "È l'amore che conta" (It's love that counts), not numbers or limits. It's a great reminder to value love above all and to protect yourself by learning to say no to the things that don't matter.
