Tappeto Di Fragole Lyrics in English Modà

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tappeto Di Fragole by Modà from Italian to English.
I stay still among the waves
While I think of you
Red fire, light and swallow
It blows among the leaves
A very gentle wind
Meanwhile a flower
Is about to bloom
Here we are
Watching the clouds
On a carpet of strawberries
How can I
Explain it to you if I get agitated
And I look ridiculous
Talk to me and hold me
Or pretend you love me
In a slightly yellowed photo
That's all I've got
And I can't tell if you were laughing or not
Here, pierced on the ground
I lie here
Waiting to fly a bit
Here we are
Watching the clouds
On a carpet of strawberries
How can I
Explain it to you if I get agitated
And I look ridiculous
Talk to me, hold me
Or pretend you love me
Ohh..ohh
Here we are
Watching the clouds
On a carpet of strawberries
How can I
Explain it to you if I get agitated
And I look ridiculous
Talk to me, hold me
Or pretend you love me

SONG MEANING

Imagine lying on a sweet-smelling tappeto di fragole—a strawberry carpet—staring at the sky while waves lap around you. That is the dreamy scene Modà paints as the singer freezes time to think about someone special. The lyrics mix gentle nature images—red firelight, swallows, a breeze that can barely move the leaves—with a rush of emotion that the singer can hardly control. He feels silly and awkward, yet all he wants is a simple sign: “Talk to me, hold me, or at least pretend you love me.”

Under the clouds, love hangs between hope and doubt. A faded photo is all he has left, and he cannot even remember if the captured smile was real. Still, he waits, “transfixed on the earth,” longing for the courage to take flight toward this uncertain love. The song becomes a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever been caught between romantic daydreams and the fear of looking ridiculous—inviting listeners to float on that strawberry carpet and feel every twinge of desire, nostalgia, and fragile optimism.
