Love yourself as much as you can

And then love yourself however you want

And ignore whoever's always pointing the finger at you

And ignore whoever didn't get it

Put on that dress

Even if they say it doesn't suit you

And stop always saying

That you're too old to dance

And then ask yourself how you are

How long's it been since you did?

You, who used to live by instinct

Now you barely believe in the future

You, for whom forever never exists

Who know nobody loves like we do

You, who the more you fall the faster you're back on your feet

You, who in the end still believe a little

Do you believe?

In a life like this

That even when it ruffles your hair it's splendid, yeah

It feels almost like a hurdles race

And you

You want to break the world record

Even when the finish line disappears

Splendid, yeah, splendid

Splendid melancholy

Splendid that lie

That keeps you prisoner for twenty years

And clinging to a photograph

Splendid, too, this moon

That you sure didn't make

Splendid the fear

Of telling everybody you now want more

From a life like this

That even when it ruffles your hair it's splendid, yeah

It's a kind of hurdles race

And you

You want to break the world record

Even when everything goes to sh*t

Even if sometimes you'd like to die

How easy it is to tell yourself lies

When it rains and you

Feel alone

But a life like this

I want it anyway

A life like this

Just thinking of it gives me chills

But I want to sing it

Even when the orchestra disappears

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Splendid life

SONG MEANING

“La Vita Splendida” is Tiziano Ferro’s upbeat pep-talk to anyone who has ever felt judged or stuck. He urges you to wear that daring outfit, dance despite your age, and ignore the fingers pointing your way. Life, he says, is a hurdle race where you aim to smash a world record even when the finish line disappears. Through highs, “splendid melancholy,” and the little lies that keep us prisoners, the song celebrates the courage to fall, stand up, and keep believing.

Ferro finds beauty in every imperfection: the faded photo you still clutch, the fear of asking for more, even the chaotic moonlight that you never created. No matter how wind-tousled, life remains splendid. By the final la-la-la refrain, the singer invites you to belt out your own anthem of resilience, self-love, and unapologetic joy. Embrace every detour, because a life like this is still worth singing about.
