Facciamola Più Semplice Lyrics in English by Emma
Affidare means "to entrust" or "to confide". It's a less common verb than simply "to give" or "to leave", carrying a deeper sense of trust and responsibility.
In the song, the lyric "Affidare i ricordi ad una stretta di mano è possibile" (To entrust memories to a handshake is possible) uses affidare to suggest a delicate act of placing precious memories into someone's care, even in the context of a breakup. It highlights the hope that even difficult goodbyes can be handled with a degree of respect and grace.
Emma sings Facciamola Più Semplice ("Let's make it simpler") as a hushed request rather than an argument. She asks her former partner not to hold her gaze, just to leave the easy way — "Non fissarmi negli occhi ma guardami in modo più semplice" ("Don't stare into my eyes, just look at me in a simpler way"). There's no accusation left, only tiredness: "Non scagliarmi parole che non mi saprei più difendere" ("Don't throw words at me that I wouldn't know how to defend against anymore").
By the end she reduces the whole goodbye to something small: "Affidare i ricordi ad una stretta di mano è possibile" ("Entrusting the memories to a handshake is possible"), and settles on turning the farewell gentle instead of painful — "Trasformare un addio in un piccolo abbraccio è possibile" ("Turning a goodbye into a small embrace is possible"). It's a song about choosing the quieter ending.
