Rimpiangerò comes from the verb rimpiangere, meaning 'to regret' or 'to miss' something or someone deeply. It's a strong verb that conveys a sense of longing and sorrow for something lost or gone.
In the song, Lorenzo Fragola sings "La nostra casa io rimpiangerò" (I will miss our home) and "Questa casa io rimpiangerò" (I will miss this home). This word beautifully captures the melancholic and nostalgic tone of the song, as the singer reflects on a past relationship and the memories associated with a shared home, expressing a profound sense of loss and regret.
"Distante" is Lorenzo Fragola singing about the tired, restless stretch right after a breakup, when leaving feels easier than staying. He wants to be strong, to believe in himself again, to take a trip just so he stops thinking about her. He's tired of the hurt and almost wishes he could turn back time, not to relive it, but so it never happened at all.
The house they shared becomes a small, aching detail: he knows he'll miss it, the same way he knows "whoever doesn't lose has already lost a little" no matter how the story ends. He even pictures her moving on with someone else, and hopes it goes easier for that person than it did for him. Snow and cold weather stand in for the numbness he's trying to talk himself into.
But the title is the real point. However far he goes, he'll never be distant from his own memories. Distance from a place or a person is possible; distance from what you remember never really is.
