Viento Lyrics in English Sal Da Vinci
Ringel is a Neapolitan word that means 'to caress' or 'to stroke'. It's a tender and intimate verb that evokes a sense of gentle touch and affection.
In the song, the artist uses this word to instruct the wind to 'caress' someone's face if they are awake and making love. It's a beautiful and somewhat rare word that adds a layer of poetic intimacy to the lyrics, making it stand out from more common verbs.
Viento is Sal Da Vinci's Neapolitan ballad about heartbreak and longing, addressed to the wind itself.
The singer asks the wind to carry a message to a woman he still loves, even though their relationship has ended. He imagines her alone at a lit window and begs the wind to wake her gently, deliver his feelings, and act as a messenger between two people who no longer speak directly.
As December approaches and the cold deepens, he reflects on jealousy and a love poisoned by suspicion, accusing his rival of being unfaithful while still hoping to reach her one more time. The song closes on the idea that someone truly in love can never fully let go, however much time and distance separate them.
