Verse 1
One ray of sunshine isn't enough
In a sky as blue as the sea
Because I carry a pain that rises and rises
It stops on shaking knees
And I know why
And it won't end its run, it doesn't want to stop
Because it's a pain that rises and rises and hurts
Now it's in my stomach, liver, vomit, I fake it but it's there
Chorus 1
And when night comes
And I remain alone with myself
My head takes off and wanders around
Looking for its whys
No winners no losers
We leave half defeated
Life can push us apart
Love will go on
Verse 2
My stomach has held on even though it doesn't want to eat
But there's the pain that rises, that rises and hurts
It reaches my heart, wants to beat it, it's stronger than me
It keeps on running, grabbing what's left
And in a second it explodes and my head bursts
It'd like an answer but deep down there's no answer
Verse 3
And it rises and falls from my eyes
Where's the sun now
While the pain on the page is
Sitting here next to me
That the words in the air are half words
But these are already written
And time won't pass
Chorus 2
But when the night comes, the night
And I remain alone with myself
My head takes off and wanders around
Looking for its whys
No winners no losers
We leave half defeated
Life can push us apart, love will still go on
Chorus 3
And when the night comes, the night
And I remain alone with myself
My head takes off and wanders around
Looking for its whys
No winners no losers
We leave half defeated
Love can push us apart, life will still go on
It'll go on

sconfittidefeated

Sconfitti means "defeated". It's a powerful word that goes beyond simple sadness to describe a feeling of being overcome by a struggle.

In the song, Arisa sings the poignant line, "Né vincitori né vinti / Si esce sconfitti a metà" (Neither winners nor losers / We come out half-defeated). This lyric captures the core emotion of the song: in some conflicts, especially emotional ones, there are no true winners, only a shared sense of loss. It's a beautifully melancholic word to express a complex feeling.

"La Notte" by Arisa is a powerful torch song that turns emotional pain into vivid, almost cinematic images. The singer feels a wave of sorrow rising from her knees to her stomach, then pounding at her heart and head. In daylight a single sunbeam is not enough to brighten her sky-blue world, but when night falls the ache becomes louder: alone with her thoughts, she chases unanswered questions while her body reacts with trembling, nausea and headaches.

Yet the song is not only about despair; it is about the paradox of love that survives even when people drift apart. Arisa reminds us that in a breakup there are “no winners, no losers” both sides leave the battlefield only half defeated. Life might separate the lovers, but the feeling itself keeps beating, promising that it will go on. The result is an anthem for anyone who has ever spent a sleepless night fighting heartache, hoping that dawn and perhaps a new beginning will finally come.
