But don't you see it?
And it doesn't matter if you don't believe it
That we are a moment
Between always and never again
Like a poem
Within eternity for a blow and away
It will be that a lie
He tells the truth more of the truth
But how clear, as it is on Sunday
Long live life as it is
Live life, this life that
It's just a moment
A long moment
Long live life as long as there is
Live life, this life that
It's just a beat
A long beat
To change, to help, to consume yourself in the wind
Look like, skin and bones, same fire inside
Together two paralysis will make a movement
Together they will never miss
And tell me a lie
The half truth, which you know so much then
What do you want it to be
On all bruises it will act as anesthesia
And if it will burn us
And if he takes us away, and if he takes us away
Long live life as it is
Live life, this life that
It's just a moment
A long moment
Long live life as long as there is
Live life, this life that
It's just a beat
A long beat
To change, to help, to consume yourself in the wind
Look like, skin and bones, same fire inside
Together two paralysis will make a movement
Together two romantics at the gates of hell
Long live life as it is
Live life, this life that
It's just a moment, a long moment
But after all, you know what I feel
It is really living every moment

limpidaclear / limpid

Limpida translates to "clear" or "limpid," often used to describe water or air. It's a beautiful, slightly more formal word than a common synonym like "chiaro."

In the song, Francesco Gabbani sings, "Ma com'è limpida, com'è domenica" (But how clear it is, how it's Sunday). He uses "limpida" to evoke a sense of clarity, freshness, and perhaps even a serene, unburdened feeling, much like the peaceful and bright atmosphere of a Sunday.

Italian artist Francesco Gabbani's "Viva La Vita" is a vibrant celebration of life in all its fleeting, paradoxical glory. The song's title, which means "Long Live Life," is a powerful chorus that encourages us to embrace life exactly as it is. Gabbani describes our existence as a brief, precious moment—a single "attimo" (moment) or "battito" (heartbeat) caught between "sempre e mai più" (forever and never again).

Despite its brevity, life is something to be lived to the fullest. The lyrics paint a picture of our shared human experience, where we are all just "pelle e ossa, stesso fuoco dentro" (skin and bones, the same fire inside). The song suggests that through connection and helping each other, even two people who are stuck ("due paralisi") can create movement and progress together. It's a call to find beauty in the moment and to live every second as if it's the only one we have.
