Una su un milione

In 'Una su un milione,' Alex Britti crafts a tender and heartfelt plea for acceptance and love. The song's lyrics revolve around the theme of embracing imperfections and the desire for a deep, genuine connection. Britti begins by asking his partner to accept him as he is, with all his flaws and complexities. He acknowledges that his mind is a world of its own, filled with thoughts and ideas that might be best left unexplored. This request for acceptance is not just about tolerating his imperfections but also about becoming a discreet accomplice in his life, a 'bambola di seta' or 'silk doll,' symbolizing something precious and delicate.

The song continues to explore the idea of unconditional love and partnership. Britti invites his partner to embark on a journey with him, disregarding societal norms and changes. He paints vivid images of traveling to the North or South Pole, growing together, and touching the sky. These metaphors highlight the limitless possibilities of their relationship if they accept each other wholly. The mention of giants and Godzilla emphasizes the strength and resilience they can achieve together, while the idea of a yellow cruise ship and a beautifully drawn island adds a whimsical, almost dreamlike quality to their shared future.

The recurring chorus, 'Amo, amo,' underscores the depth of Britti's feelings. He compares his love to various sensations and experiences, such as something moving in his stomach, colder than snow, or the sweetness of a donut's hole. These metaphors convey the intensity and uniqueness of his emotions. The song culminates in the declaration that their love is not just an adventure but a special, natural gift. Britti uses the song itself as a medium to express that his partner is 'una su un milione,' one in a million, emphasizing her irreplaceable value in his life.
