Everything was already decided
Since the moment you were dancing
You secretly kissed me
While he wasn't watching
He was telling his friends
About the things you can say
And the things you can do
In those moments of love
While I held you tight
And you whispered to me
Everything was already decided
Till the moment I knew
That today you'd tell me
Those things you tell me
That we're not happy anymore
That I'm way too nice
That you need a real man
Who knows how to satisfy you
That just giving isn't enough for you
That you want to get something back too
In love— but what love?
Everything was already decided
Even the man you picked
And the smile you flash at him
As he's leading you away
I foresaw I'd be
Left alone in my home
And I drop onto the bed
And I hug your pillow
I couldn't foresee
Only that now I just wanna die

previstoforeseen

Previsto means "foreseen" or "predicted." It's a key word in the song, appearing in the title "Era Già Tutto Previsto" (Everything Was Already Foreseen).

In this song, Andrea Bocelli uses it to express a sense of predestination and resignation. He recounts a love story where he seemingly knew all along how it would end, even the painful parts, highlighting a poignant acceptance of fate. This word captures the melancholic and reflective tone of the lyrics.

"Era Già Tutto Previsto" is about watching a love affair fall apart in slow motion, and realizing you saw every step of it coming.

The narrator remembers the moment it started: a secret kiss while someone else's back was turned, whispered promises that already felt too good to be true. From the beginning, he says, he could tell exactly where this was headed — and today she finally says it out loud. She's not happy anymore. He was too good, too gentle; what she really wants is someone else entirely.

He even predicted the man she'd choose next, and the smile she'd give him on the way out the door. None of it surprises him. What he never managed to predict is how much it would hurt — left alone in his room, holding her pillow instead of her, wishing he could just stop feeling any of it.

It's a song about the strange, hollow comfort of being right about something you desperately didn't want to be right about.
