Samuele Bersani turns 51 today . Among his most loved songs, “Universal Judgments” and the text written by the singer born in Rimini on 1 October 1970 and released in 1997, considered the following year as the ” best literary text ” for its beauty: the jury in which The writer and translator Fernanda Pivano was also present, awarding the song with the Lunezia Prize . In fact, the text, through a succession of metaphors and similes, speaks of a couple in which the loss of spontaneity has consumed the feeling of love . The beauty of little things
Universal Judgments by Samuele Bersani and the story of a couple in which love has lost its previous charge and the spontaneity of gestures: in factShe is unable to settle for small things and their simplicity, constantly desiring more , and is unable to dream because she is too busy worrying about reality. She cannot relax and fantasize, because nothing is enough for her to be happy. He can’t help but complicate everything, with a “nice spin of double words, but dubbed“.
Too cerebral to understand that one can feel good without complicating the bread
, one spreads over it a nice spin of empty words, but dubbed
Him who instead is a tireless dreamer and trusts the little simple and spontaneous things, he feels imprisoned, he feels suffocated and she would like to protect the memories and the love that bound them until yesterday, but she destroys everything by transforming the relationship into something false.Words and words that weigh down and complicate their relationship , conforming to social conventions, trying to imitate other couples does nothing but debase the union. It breaks down the soap bubbles and prevents him from dreaming in peace, from allowing himself the luxury of being irrational, of flying away from the present.
Eat the soap bubbles around the world and when I sleep cut the kite well
remove the reason and let me dream, let me dream in peace The past and the present But it was not always like this.In the past they were light, they dreamed together, putting aside rationality, without ballast on their feet and ready to fly out the window like kites, because there was so much love that showed them the steps to follow, as the advertising claim does. describing what happens. These intense moments, however, no longer have significance for Samuele Bersani, they no longer have value because they have left nothing, they have not settled anything.
Free as we were yesterday of the centimeters of books under your feet
to pull the door handle and go outside
like Mastroianni years ago as the guiding voice advertising
there were intense moments but I have already lost them
You can no longer trust her because she is not the same person he fell in love with in the past: now she is just a banal copy of many other personalities (you are just the copy of a thousand summaries). How to trust a person who has become a perfect stranger
I could but I don’t want to trust you
I don’t know you and basically there is nothing
in what you say you think you
are just a copy of a thousand summaries
The heart that in a couple should being protected, is instead mistreated and not respected at all: as if a bed in which flowers grow is treated as a doormat on which to clean one’s feet .
Too cerebral to understand that you can feel good without stepping on the heart
you walk over them at least two or three times like on flower beds Their relationship is now totally empty , indeed it has changed into hatred: you can’t breathe, you feel trapped. Love is consumed like a candle that loses its flame: it is extinguished, devoid of brilliance and emotion. And only wax hardened by time.
Let’s remove the carpet and then let’s put on some skates to glide better over the hate
Control tower help, I’m running out of air in the tank
Light light it gets wet the flame
remains the wax and you are gone you are gone
you are gone …
But like the calm after the storm, after the crisis freedom can return again: there is no longer that enormous weight tied to the feet that prevents flying, that continuous obstacle to grasp happiness. According to Samuele Bersani, one can start living and smiling again, without allowing anyone to change their personality or curb their desires. The text
Too cerebral to understand that you can feel good without complicating the bread
you spread over it a nice spin of empty words, but dubbed
Eat the soap bubbles around the world and when I sleep it cuts the kite well
remove the reason and let me dream , let me dream in peace
Free as we were yesterday of the inches of books under your feet
to pull the door handle and go out
like Mastroianni years ago as the voice guiding advertising
there were intense moments but I already lost them
Too cerebral to understand that you can feel good without stepping on your heart
you pass over it at least two or feet three times like on the flowerbeds
Let’s take off the carpet and then let’s put on some skates to glide better over the hate
Control tower help, I’m running out of air in the tank
I could but I don’t want to trust you
I don’t know you and deep down there is nothing
in what you say you think you
are just the copy of a thousand summaries
Lightly light it gets wet the flame
remains the wax and you are gone …
Memory lapses there is no place to hold together all the episodes of a
very small particular story: I lost you without malice
Eat the soap bubbles around the world and when I sleep cut the kite well
remove the reason, let me dream let me dream in peace
Free as I was yesterday I have inches of sky under my feet
now I pull the door handle and go outside
like Mastroianni years ago I am a cloud soon it will rain
and there is nothing that moves me or wind that will move me
I could but I don’t want to trust you
I don’t know you and basically there is nothing
in what you say you think you
are just a copy of a thousand summaries
Lightly lightly gets wet the flame
remains the wax and you are no
longer there you are no longer there …
