Canzone D'Amore Lyrics in English Ricchi e Poveri
Rondine translates to "swallow," the bird. It's a beautiful and somewhat less common word in everyday Italian, making it stand out in the lyrics.
In the song, it's used in the line "Ad una rondine che fa primavera" (To a swallow that makes spring). This evokes a classic poetic image of the swallow as a harbinger of spring and new beginnings, perfectly fitting the song's theme of love and hope.
"Canzone d'Amore" is a gentle, hopeful love song built around a simple image: a ship sailing against the wind, carrying words of love to someone the singer cares about.
The verses describe how words of love act like fire — they can warm you, satisfy you when you're hungry or thirsty, and comfort you when you're far away. The singer asks the listener to really listen, because there isn't much time, and pleads for them to stay together as long as things feel good, since love should be beautiful and free, without chains.
The chorus repeats the song's title like a refrain, dedicating this "love song" and these "words of love" directly to the person being addressed. The final verse compares the arrival of new love to a swallow bringing spring and a flower's scent rising in the air — small, natural signs that tomorrow will be better.
