I go through hell for you
I push it to the limit for you
I light up for you
Even when you don't kiss me out of pride
I can do it for you
I go to therapy for you
I'll throw the first stone
I ruin my career
Seized by blind fury
To calm down I'm emptying my wallet
I go into debt for you
But I swear on Mary
Blind love is just a theory
You never talk about jealousy, but I know
Even a guy sometimes cries
If I were inside your shirt or even lower
You'd call me a 'pervert' or worse: 'You do it'
But forgive my sins like Jesus did
Like you did with the others
If I were a guy, I
I'd sell myself for everything, for nothing
I'd sell myself for pretend and for real
I'd sell myself with just the thought
Only for her-er, only for her-er
What happens at night?
But what happens at night?
The clock starts racing
Like me in the storm
To chase a chimera
To swap Adam and Eve
To fight even when there's no need
I smash the table for you
But I swear on Mary
Blind love is just a theory
You never talk about jealousy, but I know
Even a guy sometimes cries
If I were inside your shirt or even lower
You'd call me a 'pervert' or worse: 'You do it'
But forgive my sins like Jesus did
Like you did with the others
If I were a guy, I
I'd sell myself for everything, for nothing
I'd sell myself for pretend and for real
I'd sell myself with just the thought
Only for her-er, only for her-er
What happens at night?
But what happens at night?
But I swear on Mary
Blind love is just a theory
You never talk about jealousy, but I know
Even a guy sometimes cries
If I were inside your shirt or even lower
You'd call me a 'pervert' or worse: 'You do it'
But forgive my sins like Jesus did
Like you did with the others
If I were a guy, I
I'd sell myself for everything, for nothing
I'd sell myself for pretend and for real
I'd sell myself with just the thought
Only for her-er, only for her

SONG MEANING

Maschio is Annalisa’s fiery confession of how far she would go in the name of love. She lists a whirlwind of wild gestures—smashing tables, emptying her wallet, even risking her career—to prove her devotion. In the chorus, she flips the script and imagines: “If I were a man…” revealing that even men break down in tears and bargain away their pride. By playfully swapping genders, she pokes fun at stereotypes and asks why vulnerability should be a “female” trait when, deep down, everyone feels the sting of jealousy and the thrill of obsession.

Behind the catchy beat lies a deeper message: blind love can drive anyone to extremes, yet it also exposes the soft spots we try to hide. Annalisa blends irony with sincerity, showing that true passion has no rulebook—only raw emotion that blurs the lines between strength and fragility.
