Verse 1

You, son of a bricklayer

Emilia is flooding

And Liguria too

And while we laugh

And make love

Your taxes are spent

In an hourly hotel

Verse 2

I, loving in my own way

I've messed up many things

And I don't follow many trends

I, loving in my own way

I wish I'd given you less of my heart, my love

Verse 3

So run against time

'Cause money won't wait for you

And what does the rush matter

In a speeding car

And you won't see me at the window

Serenading you

'Cause the world doesn't stop

But I'm out of breath

Slow down

Prechorus 1

When the light goes out

Who are you left with?

Do you feel okay with your red wine

And your name on a bullet casing?

Chorus 1

I like you, I like you

I like you a lot

I like you, I like you

I like you a lot

Postchorus 1

We're all the same

At the bar and at work

Our mother's children

We just want to love

And in this greed

And in this showing off

I like you a lot

Verse 4

For me, Italy is that great move by Cannavaro

Italy is sadly known for some events but we downplay it

The sky is blue, and in the afternoon

If you arm us, we won't go to war

And as an entrepreneur said

'Italy is the country I love'

Verse 5

Love, my love

So scared of being understood

In this internship phase

Tenco died near here

Don't be afraid, my love

I'll do better for our son

I'll crush the children of others

So he'll play alone

Prechorus 2

When the light goes out

Who are you left with?

Do you feel okay with your red wine

And your name on a bullet casing?

Chorus 2

I like you, I like you

I like you a lot

I like you, I like you

I like you a lot

Postchorus 2

We're all the same

At the bar and at work

Our mother's children

We just want to love

And in this greed

And in this showing off

I like you a lot

Bridge

I made a little song

It's a flower on a police van

And we forget the beatings in the squares

I made a little song

I hope it doesn't scare you

That we can all start over, little by little

Chorus 3

I like you, I like you

I like you a lot

I like you, I like you

I like you a lot

Postchorus 3

We're all the same

At the bar and at work

Our mother's children

We just want to love

And in this greed

And in this showing off

I like you a lot

tirocinio — internship / apprenticeship

Tirocinio translates to 'internship' or 'apprenticeship'. It's a word not commonly found in song lyrics, making it unique and memorable.

In the song, the artist sings, "Che paura di venir capito In questa fase di tirocinio" (What a fear of being understood in this internship phase). This metaphorical use suggests a period of learning, growth, and perhaps vulnerability, where one is still figuring things out, much like an intern navigating a new role. It adds a layer of depth to the emotional landscape of the song.

This song is a wild ride through modern Italy, mixing sharp social commentary with a surprisingly sweet love song. Sayf looks at a country dealing with floods in Emilia and Liguria (L'Emilia che si allaga / E la Liguria pure) while politicians spend tax money in hourly hotels (Le tue tasse vanno spese / In un hotel a ore). It's a world of greed and showing off (in questa avidità / E in questo dimostrare), where everyone is told to corri contro il tempo / Che il denaro non ti aspetta (run against time / Because money doesn't wait for you).

Amidst all this chaos, the chorus is a simple, powerful declaration: Tu mi piaci, tu mi piaci / Tu mi piaci tanto (I like you, I like you / I like you so much). It's as if finding one person you genuinely like is the only thing that makes sense. The song argues that deep down, Noi siamo tutti uguali (We are all the same), we all Vogliamo solo amare (just want to love). He calls the song a canzonetta (a little song) and hopes it's like un fiore su una camionetta (a flower on a military truck), a small piece of beauty in a tough world.
