Sentire Ti Amo

In 'Sentire Ti Amo,' Al Bano and Romina Power delve into the complexities of modern life and the elusive nature of love amidst the chaos. The song opens with a poignant observation about how time erodes both joy and sorrow, likening it to the way sea stones are smoothed over time. This metaphor sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how contemporary society prioritizes material wealth, hatred, and fleeting pleasures over genuine emotional connections.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the world as a carousel that offers a dizzying array of emotions, fatal attractions, and primal instincts. This imagery suggests that people are constantly seeking more—more excitement, more pleasure, more everything—yet they often overlook the essential need for love. The repeated question, 'ma il tempo d'amare dov'è?' (but where is the time to love?), underscores the central theme of the song: the scarcity of time dedicated to love in a fast-paced, demanding world.

As the song progresses, it becomes a heartfelt plea for a moment to express true love. The desire to escape to a place where silence sings and the sun is free symbolizes a longing for simplicity and authenticity. The lyrics also critique the complexities of modern life, filled with power struggles and sexual politics, comparing it to a zoo that no longer satisfies. Ultimately, 'Sentire Ti Amo' is a call to reclaim the time to say 'I love you,' knowing that it is genuine and true.
