Logico #1 Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini

Caleidoscopio translates directly to "kaleidoscope". It's a visually evocative word that immediately brings to mind shifting patterns and vibrant colors.

In the song, Cesare Cremonini uses it to describe a "ragazza dagli occhi caleidoscopio" (girl with kaleidoscope eyes). This beautiful imagery suggests eyes that are mesmerizing, full of changing expressions, or perhaps reflecting a multitude of colors, making the word both poetic and memorable.

Cremonini spends this song trying to argue himself into calm. "Logico sì, è logico" (Logical yes, it is logical) is the line he keeps coming back to, six times over at the end, and the more he repeats it the less he sounds like a man who believes it. The verses are full of physics: light running through a vacuum, an orbit traced in the atmosphere, "Siamo molecole oltre le nuvole" (We are molecules beyond the clouds). If love is chemistry, it should behave.

Then he gives the game away. "Amore mio la logica non è sincera" (My love, logic isn't truthful), and right after it the question the whole song has been built to avoid: "Chissà se amare è una cosa vera" (I wonder if loving is a real thing). The middle section drops Italian and simply lists song titles, "All you need is love", "Mind Games and I Love Her", as if the argument could be settled by naming Beatles records instead of making a case. He writes the feeling off as "E' solo musica e fibre nervose" (It's just music and nerve fibers), which is the most defensive line in it. The girl gets one description, "Ragazza dagli occhi caleidoscopio" (Kaleidoscope-eyed girl), and a kaleidoscope is the one instrument here that refuses to show you the same thing twice.
