Seta Lyrics in English Elisa

Home / Lyrics Translation / Elisa / Seta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Seta by Elisa from Italian to English.

Where are we going tonight

You didn't read the bottom of the coffee cup

Inside the dark there's silk

And in dreams what's not there

I have the same perfume I put on that time

When the night was still long, it was slower

How many spins do we make before coherence

I'm hanging, here on the edge, the heart of the one who waits

When I enter your world the floor collapses

I see every moment shatter

I can't explain to you what I feel

What I feel

How many words I chew

Turn the radio up all the way

Dancing barefoot is a classic

And singing badly

Even silver oxidizes

Like a pearl in an oyster

But a kiss is electric current

A copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

It's a copper wire that becomes silk

Where are we going tonight

I looked for you but I don't know why

Maybe it's true I'm confused, it's not your fault

Every little insecurity of mine swells

Words of love light as bubbles

And intertwining hands to say them louder

Louder

When I enter your world the floor collapses

I see every moment shatter

I can't explain to you what I feel

What I feel

How many words I chew

Turn the radio up all the way

Dancing barefoot is a classic

And singing badly

Even silver oxidizes

Like a pearl in an oyster

But a kiss is electric current

A copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

It's a copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

It's a copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

How many words I chew

Turn the radio up all the way

Dancing barefoot is a classic

And singing badly

Even silver oxidizes

Like a pearl in an oyster

But a kiss is electric current

A copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

It's a copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

It's a copper wire that becomes silk

Silk

It's a copper wire that becomes silk

SONG MEANING

“Seta” invites us into the exciting blur of a late-night adventure, where every small sensation feels magnified. Elisa compares emotions to everyday images: reading the future in coffee grounds, dancing barefoot with the radio blaring, and a simple copper wire miraculously turning into silk. These snapshots reveal how a spark of attraction can make the ordinary shimmer, turning nerves and uncertainty into something smooth, elegant, and unforgettable.

At its heart, the song is about transformation through connection. The floor seems to crumble when she steps into her lover’s world, insecurities grow large then melt away with an electric kiss, and clumsy words float light as bubbles. Even silver can tarnish, yet feelings keep renewing themselves as long as two people dare to hold hands tighter, sing off-key, and let the night carry them. “Seta” reminds us that love is messy, thrilling alchemy—raw copper becoming silk in the dark.
