Complici Lyrics in English by Enrico Nigiotti, Gianna Nannini
Complici translates to "accomplices" in English. It's a captivating word that suggests a shared secret, a deep understanding, and a bond forged through mutual experiences.
In the context of the song, the word Complici is used to describe the intense and complex relationship between two lovers. They are accomplices in their escapes, their struggles, and their enduring connection, highlighting a partnership that goes beyond typical romance into something more profound and conspiratorial. This makes it a unique and intriguing choice for a song title and a key theme.
"Complici" is a duet about two people who keep coming undone together and calling it love. Enrico Nigiotti and Gianna Nannini trade lines about a bond built on old scars and stubborn devotion — "La vita ci ha lasciato troppi lividi" ("Life's left us too many bruises") sits right next to "E proprio quello ci rendeva liberi" ("And that's what made us free"), so the damage and the freedom come from the same place.
The hook turns "Complici" ("Accomplices") into a mantra: "Ogni volta che scappiamo è per riprenderci" ("Every time we run it's to get ourselves back"). They fight, they flee, they land back in each other's arms — "Mangiami e stringimi" ("Eat me and hold me") reads as a demand rather than a sweet nothing. By the closing verses the pair reduce themselves to "piccoli universi pronti a fondersi" ("tiny universes ready to merge"), which is as close as the song comes to admitting how consuming this really is.
