TAXI SULLA LUNA Lyrics in English Tony Effe , Emma, Takagi & Ketra
Rallentatore literally translates to "slow motion" or "slow-downer". It's an interesting and somewhat unique word to find in a pop song, as it evokes a cinematic or dreamlike quality.
In the lyrics, Tony Effe sings, "E voglio darti duecento baci al rallentatore" (And I want to give you two hundred kisses in slow motion). This phrase beautifully conveys a desire to savor every moment and make the experience last, adding a romantic and intense feeling to the song.
"TAXI SULLA LUNA" is a playful, cinematic love song about losing yourself in one wild night out. Tony Effe opens with a rush of first-kiss excitement, festival nights, and party excess, painting a scene that's more about the buzz of falling for someone than the substances themselves.
The chorus turns that chaos into a promise: even if it's raining, even if everything is falling apart, he wants to give her two hundred kisses in slow motion and take her with him "in a taxi to the moon." It's a way of saying that no matter how messy real life gets, being together makes it feel magical.
By the final verses the night gets blurrier (he can't even remember her name) but the feeling stays the same: dancing barefoot until they get kicked out, soaked and laughing, chasing one more kiss before the night ends.
