Italian songs with lyrics

“Tu sei il mattino” is not just a love song in the classic sense. It doesn’t focus solely on the story of a first romantic experience but rather on growth, change, and the relentless passage of time. The song tells moments of life, intertwining real memories with others that have been reimagined, creating a mosaic of emotions that belong both to the author and to anyone who has experienced a journey of personal growth. The song was also part of the soundtrack for the third season of Vita da Carlo, the television series by Carlo Verdone.

Franco Battiato, one of Italy’s most eclectic and visionary musicians, released Shock in My Town in 1998 as part of his album Gommalacca. This song is a powerful critique of modern society, touching on themes of cultural decay, technological alienation, and the loss of spirituality.

Franco Battiato’s La cura (The Care) is one of the most iconic Italian songs, released in 1996 as part of the album L’imboscata. The song, written by Battiato and Manlio Sgalambro, is a poetic declaration of unconditional love and protection, rich in philosophical and existential undertones.
