Finalmente Lyrics in English by Emma
Sfiorare means 'to brush against' or 'to graze'. It's a delicate and evocative verb that suggests a light, almost imperceptible touch.
In the song, Emma sings about "lasciarsi sfiorare dai momenti" (letting oneself be touched/grazed by moments). This beautiful imagery encourages listeners to be present and allow life's fleeting moments to gently impact them, rather than letting them slip away unnoticed.
"Finalmente" ("Finally") is about the quiet effort of letting go of a pain that has become a daily habit. Emma opens with a confession, "Ogni giorno mi sembra così, di farmi del male" ("Every day I feel like this, like I'm hurting myself"), naming the exhausting pull of holding on to something that no longer serves her.
The chorus turns that admission into a small ritual of hope: "Chiudi gli occhi e aspetta, finalmente" ("Close your eyes and wait, finally") returns again and again like a breath held before stepping forward. By the end she has stopped bargaining with the moments that "senza gridare ci sfuggono via" ("slip away from us without shouting"), choosing instead "di vivere guardando il sole" ("to live looking at the sun") — trading old hurt for the plain wish to keep facing the light.
