I was like a Judas
Every time it's back to the start
It was better to be alone
Then I say sorry again
And I come back to your door like a saint
But you slip away from me
You listen to a friend
You sing "Nina" in her kitchen
Don't look for a fight
A rose and a thorn
And half a lie, half a lie
And you stab me again
On the seafront while I bleed
You'd said, "If you stop, it'll pass for me"
You were jealous of another while you
The usual words
Look what love does
It ruins a beautiful girl
In the span of one full moon
Love goes
It leaves the poison and goes away
Then a girl takes revenge
During the soap opera
You whispered to me
Without you here I'd die
So come on, let's make peace
Let's dance a two-step
How broke we've been
But you slip away from me
You listen to a friend
You sing "Nina" in her kitchen
Don't look for a fight
A rose and a thorn
And half a lie, half a lie
The usual words
Look what love does
It ruins a beautiful girl
In the span of one full moon
Love goes, leaves the poison and goes away
Then a girl takes revenge
During the soap opera
And you stab me again
On the seafront while I bleed
You'd said, "If you stop, it'll pass for me"
You were jealous of another while you
The usual words
Look what love does
It ruins a beautiful girl
In the span of one full moon
Love goes, leaves the poison and goes away
Then a girl takes revenge
During the soap opera

SONG MEANING

Lights, camera, passion! In “Telenovela,” Italian songwriter Biagio Antonacci turns a rocky love affair into a riveting soap-opera episode. The narrator admits he has played the traitor “like Judas,” begging forgiveness at her door, only to watch his lover slip away again. Their story swings between apologies and fresh wounds, candlelit dances and seaside betrayals, just like the dramatic twists you would see on late-night TV.

Antonacci paints love as a rose with an unavoidable thorn: it dazzles, then delivers a sting. Jealousy flares, half-truths circulate, and a once-splendid girl is “ruined in the space of a full moon.” When the poison of love finally drifts off, what remains is a thirst for revenge fit for a cliff-hanger finale. “Telenovela” is a cinematic reminder that passion can be addictive, messy and irresistibly entertaining—no remote control required!
