Il Mare D'inverno Lyrics in English Loredana Bertè

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Mare D'inverno by Loredana Bertè from Italian to English.
The winter sea
It's just a black-and-white movie seen on TV
And inland
A few clouds dive down from the sky
Wet sand
A letter the wind is carrying away
Invisible spots chased by dogs
Weary arcs of old seagulls
And I stay here alone
Looking for a coffee
The winter sea
It's an idea the mind doesn't consider
It's not very modern
It's something nobody ever desires
Closed hotels
Advertising posters already faded
Cars carve ruts on roads
Where summer rain doesn't fall
And I can't even
Talk to myself
Sea, sea
Nobody ever comes here to drag me away
Sea, sea
Nobody ever comes here to keep us company
Sea, sea
I can't look at you like this
Because
This wind stirs me too
This wind stirs me too
The cold will pass
And the beach will slowly take on color
The radio and the papers
And some trivial music will spread
New adventures
Lit-up discos full of lies
But toward evening a strange concert
And a beach umbrella that stays open
I dive in, puzzled, and moments
Already lived
Sea, sea
Nobody ever comes here to drag me away
Sea, sea
Nobody ever comes here to keep us company
Sea, sea
I can't look at you like this
Because
This wind stirs me too
This wind stirs me too
Sea, sea
Nobody ever comes here to drag me away
Sea, sea
Nobody ever comes here to keep us company

SONG MEANING

Il Mare D’inverno paints a moody, cinematic picture of an Italian shoreline when the tourists are gone. The waves roll under a grey sky, hotel signs fade, and the only movement comes from wind that whisks away letters, gulls, and the singer’s thoughts. This is a seaside in black-and-white, where the narrator wanders solo, craving a simple coffee and conversation that never arrives. The repeated call mare, mare (“sea, sea”) feels like talking to an old friend who answers only with restless gusts.

Yet hidden in the chill is a quiet promise. Winter will thaw, colors will return, and the beach will buzz again with radios, discos, and new adventures — though perhaps filled with the same old bugie (“lies”). The song becomes a reflection on solitude versus the noisy rush of summer, suggesting that both seasons stir the soul, each in its own way. Listening feels like standing on that empty shore, letting the wind rearrange your thoughts while waiting for warmer days.
