Viento Lyrics in English by Sal Da Vinci
Ringel is a Neapolitan word that means 'to caress' or 'to stroke'. It's a tender and intimate verb that evokes a sense of gentle touch and affection.
In the song, the artist uses this word to instruct the wind to 'caress' someone's face if they are awake and making love. It's a beautiful and somewhat rare word that adds a layer of poetic intimacy to the lyrics, making it stand out from more common verbs.
In this song, Italian pop artist Sal Da Vinci has a very unusual conversation... with the wind! He treats the wind like a person, asking it to be his messenger to a woman he can't forget. He remembers a fiery, difficult love, calling it a "Vocc e fuoc" (mouth of fire), but admits, "Ma ij ce crer c'aggia fa" (But I believe it, what can I do?). He is completely stuck on this past relationship.
The singer's requests are full of conflict. He asks the wind to go to her, and "fermt e accarezzla" (stop and caress her) if she's alone. But then he imagines the worst. What if she's with a new lover? In that case, he begs the wind, "chell ca tu vir nun me raccuntà" (what you see, don't tell me). He wants to reach out but also wants to protect himself from the pain. In the end, he gives in completely and asks the wind to tell her the simple truth: "Stu nnamurat è sempr nnammurat e nun sa po scurdà" (This lover is still in love and can't forget her).
