Due ragazzi nel sole

“Due ragazzi nel sole” by Collage is a poetic and evocative song that captures the essence of young love and the tender moments shared between two people. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a serene and idyllic setting by a river, where the protagonist is mesmerized by the beauty and innocence of their partner. The imagery of stealing the whitest stones from the river and the hesitant reflection of the partner's body in the water symbolizes the purity and vulnerability of their relationship. The mention of the hidden sun finding its place in the partner's sky-blue eyes suggests a sense of completeness and fulfillment found in each other.

The song continues to describe a dreamy scene where the partner lies on the grass, lost in dreams, waiting for love to blossom. The protagonist gathers the courage to sit beside them, only to find themselves lost in the moment. This loss is not one of despair but of being overwhelmed by the beauty and intensity of the experience. The recurring theme of dreaming about the partner's sleeping lips and the gentle awakening with a smile signifies the deep longing and affection the protagonist feels.

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to a more intimate and passionate moment. The August storm and the embrace symbolize the intensity and urgency of their love. The need to catch their breath and the absence of words highlight the profound connection they share, where words are unnecessary. The repeated refrain of “ora fanno l'amore” (now they make love) emphasizes the culmination of their emotions and the physical expression of their love. The song beautifully encapsulates the innocence, passion, and timelessness of young love, making it a heartfelt and nostalgic piece.
