Duemila Volte Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni
Duemila literally means "two thousand." While it's a number, its use in this song is particularly striking and poetic.
Marco Mengoni sings, "Altre duemila volte" (Another two thousand times), emphasizing an immense, almost infinite, repetition of searching and forgiving. It's not just a quantity, but a hyperbolic expression of enduring love and persistence, making it memorable and emotionally resonant.
"Duemila Volte" is Marco Mengoni’s heartfelt confession of a love so intense it feels both impossible and irresistible. Throughout the lyrics he stacks vivid images – trying to sketch a lover’s face “like pulling a sword from stone,” yearning to “live in your eyes,” chasing dawn after nights that end at 6 a.m. The repetition of ordinary cravings (another cigarette, the borrowed T-shirt) contrasts with larger-than-life desires (a “perfect life,” finding “water on Mars”), painting a relationship that swings between everyday intimacy and epic longing.
At its core the song circles around a powerful paradox: I have to lose you so I can come looking for you another two-thousand times. Distance, forgiveness, and the thrill of reunion feed an addictive cycle where separation only intensifies attraction. Mengoni’s voice turns that contradiction into a mantra of modern romance, reminding us that some connections burn brightest precisely because they are never quite within reach.
