Alice E Il Blu Lyrics in English Annalisa
Meraviglia translates to "wonder" or "marvel." It's a beautiful Italian word that expresses a feeling of awe and admiration for something extraordinary.
In this song, the narrator says goodbye with the tender phrase, "Goodbye mia dolce meraviglia" (Goodbye my sweet wonder). This poetic term of endearment gives the song a magical, fairy-tale feeling, perfectly matching the story of a boy who tries to bring a piece of the sky to the girl he loves.
Annalisa paints a dreamy fairytale in “Alice e il Blu,” where the color blue is more than a shade—it is a place of impossible wishes. Alice waits behind a closed window, convinced that something outside herself will finally make her feel "special." A shy boy with pearl-coloured eyes loves her so much that he straps on imaginary wings, flying higher and higher to fetch her fragments of clouds and slices of sky. Each time he returns with another piece of the blu, the city shrinks beneath him, yet Alice’s smile lasts only a moment.
The song whispers a gentle warning: when happiness depends on what others can bring you, it is always “one minute short.” Alice’s endless longing turns the window into a prison, leaving her alone with nothing but a blue cat and fading memories of the boy’s devotion. Annalisa’s lyrics remind us that real wonder must bloom from the inside, or even the brightest sky will never feel bright enough.
