Stammi Vicino Lyrics in English Vasco Rossi
Ipocrita is the Italian word for "hypocritical". It's a powerful word you might not expect to find in a love song, which makes it so intriguing.
In this rock ballad, Vasco Rossi sings about creating a private world for just two people, away from the "mondo ipocrita" (hypocritical world). He uses this strong adjective to contrast the phoniness of society with the real, authentic connection he has found, making their love feel like a rebellious act.
“Stammi Vicino” (which means “Stay Close to Me”) is Vasco Rossi’s heartfelt pledge of unfaltering devotion. The narrator has no clear roadmap for life, yet he is certain of one thing: he will follow the person he loves wherever she goes. After waiting “da tanto tempo” for a love he barely believed would arrive, he now sees their meeting as destiny. He is convinced that they are made for each other, sensing her desires even before she speaks and believing that together they can face anything.
The repeated request “Stammi vicino e ogni cosa vedrai” (“Stay close to me and you will see everything”) turns into a promise: time will heal doubts, adjust problems, and bring the future they dream of. Against a backdrop of an “ipocrita” world with “no tomorrow,” their bond becomes a safe haven of honesty and hope. Rossi’s lyrics blend romantic urgency with optimism, creating an anthem that urges listeners to trust love, embrace closeness, and let fate write the rest of the story.
