Direzione La Vita Lyrics in English Annalisa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Direzione La Vita by Annalisa from Italian to English.
There's a song that talks about you
The air that blows from the sea into the city
A day that comes and really changes your life
There's your smile and Paris in a film
There's a girl dancing on a tram
A day that comes and changes your perspective
Heading toward life
You'd need my eyes to look at you
Three, four times a day, just an hour after meals
Where we left off, how we left off
Two astronauts among the stars without helmets
We enjoy the view from a room
S.O.S. on paper airplanes
People live and change, they survive anger
Like a child who draws a suit of armor
We're quick to say love
Then love's kind of an excuse
To tie our hands and legs
I can't stay without you anymore, without you anymore
Never again without you
There's a song that talks about you
The air that blows from the sea into the city
A day that comes and really changes your life
There's your smile and Paris in a film
There's a girl dancing on a tram
A day that comes and changes your perspective
Heading toward life
Heading toward life
We'd need two hands to find each other
To haul ourselves out of problems and rise
We need caresses
We need slaps
Only if we're lost do we risk finding each other again
And while the sun stretches the swing's shadow
A little girl dreams of being a mermaid
The wind on her back
The dance of a moth
There's a Monday that's better than a Saturday night
We're quick to say love
Then love's kind of an excuse
To tie our hands and legs, I can't
Be without you anymore, without you anymore
Never again without you
There's a song that talks about you
The air that blows from the sea into the city
A day that comes and really changes your life
There's your smile and Paris in a film
There's a girl dancing on a tram
A day that comes and changes your perspective
Heading toward life
I'd need my mouth always on yours
'Cause you're my home
I see land at the bow
And don't confuse pride with freedom
We still have a reason to stay here
There's a song that talks about you
The air that blows from the sea into the city
A day that comes and really changes your life
There's your smile and Paris in a film
There's a girl dancing on a tram
A day that comes and changes your perspective
Heading toward life
Heading toward life
Heading toward life

SONG MEANING

Direzione la Vita is Annalisa’s vibrant postcard of those magical instants that flip your world upside-down. She stitches together quick cinematic flashes—a salty breeze sneaking from the sea into the city, a girl twirling on a tram, two helmet-free astronauts floating among the stars—to show how a single day, a single smile, can rewrite your entire outlook. The repeated line “c’è una canzone che parla di te” (there’s a song that talks about you) reminds the listener that life itself can feel like a soundtrack custom-made for our own movie.

Beneath the catchy beat, the lyrics explore love as both a sweet anchor and a thrilling rocket. Annalisa admits we “say love too quickly,” yet love is still the excuse to bind ourselves together, launch paper airplanes of dreams, and lift each other above everyday problems. We need gentleness and the occasional jolt to lose and rediscover ourselves, proving that even a Monday can shine brighter than a Saturday night when shared. With the sea breeze as compass and hearts as engines, the song invites us to sail “direzione la vita,” steering past pride toward the place where we truly belong—together.
