D'istinto E Di Cuore Lyrics in English Sal Da Vinci
Ipocrisia translates to "hypocrisy". It's a strong and meaningful word that stands out in the lyrics, immediately setting a tone of authenticity and honesty.
In the song, Sal Da Vinci declares, "Io sono quello che vedi, non c'è ipocrisia" (I am what you see, there is no hypocrisy). This line emphasizes his genuine nature and commitment to living truthfully, making it a powerful and memorable word choice that resonates with the song's theme of living from instinct and heart.
D'istinto e di cuore is Sal Da Vinci's case for living without a filter. He opens by putting his cards on the table: he is exactly what you see, there is no hypocrisy in him, and if he is still standing it is down to his own stubborn will to keep going and to smile at the people who judge him.
The verses work through small, concrete images rather than grand statements. He still has boxes full of happiness, and he only opens them at night or on a Sunday. He still takes love from whoever knows how to give it, if they deserve it. Sometimes he sits in silence and thinks, then decides that in love, thinking is no use at all.
That is where the chorus comes from. Going by instinct and by heart is his answer to overthinking: he will live that way, he will make a friend of the pain instead of crying over it, and if she smiles at him then nothing really hurts. He will follow her on the wings of their love, up to the clouds, as long as God allows it.
The second verse turns to his work. Every moment is a miracle worth noticing, he puts his show back on its feet every single day, and anyone who loves him knows exactly where to look: wherever there is music. He watches his sea from the window, and it has been stirring words in him for as long as he can remember.
It is a generous song to learn from. The chorus comes back often, so its phrases settle quickly, and the vocabulary is everyday Italian: cuore (heart), istinto (instinct), voglia (desire, or the will to do something), sorridere (to smile) and nuvole (clouds).
