Made In Italy Lyrics in English by Ricchi e Poveri
Favola literally means "fable" or "fairytale". It's a beautiful word that adds a touch of magic to any sentence.
In the song, the singers ask for "una notte da favola" (a fairytale night). This isn't just a good night; it's a perfect, dreamlike experience, straight out of a storybook. It perfectly captures the romantic and magical feeling of a summer night in Italy that the song celebrates.
This song is the ultimate sales pitch for a perfect Italian summer romance! The singer is trying to create an unforgettable memory for their lover, a "souvenir d'Italie" [souvenir of Italy]. They ask, with a bit of a wink, how a night this good couldn't be "Made in Italy?" It's a fun, sweet song about wanting someone to remember a perfect moment together, set against the backdrop of the Italian coast.
The singer lays out exactly what this perfect memory is made of. They repeatedly ask for the key ingredients: "dammi soltanto una musica" [give me just some music], "dammi un amore" [give me a love], and "dammi una notte da favola" [give me a fairytale night]. The beautiful scenery is part of the package too, with "Questo mare blu / Ed un cielo così" [This blue sea / And a sky like this] offered up as part of the souvenir. It's all about making this one night so special that it will be remembered forever, even if the person leaves the next day.
