Cosi (feat. Il Volo)

In 'Cosi,' Eros Ramazzotti, featuring Il Volo, delves into the transient and often unpredictable nature of love. The song opens with the poignant observation that love sometimes forgets us, leaving behind only a handful of memories, akin to free butterflies. This metaphor sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the fleeting and delicate essence of romantic relationships. The lyrics suggest that love can depart as quietly as it arrives, seeking new smiles and hearts in the vast expanse of the city.

The chorus reveals a deep sense of regret and confusion, as the singer grapples with the remnants of a love that once was. The heart is likened to a windless sea, a powerful image that conveys a sense of stagnation and loss. The repetition of 'così grande' (so big) emphasizes the overwhelming nature of these emotions, suggesting that the impact of lost love is both profound and all-encompassing. The song's melancholic tone is further underscored by the imagery of a sunset in the singer's chest, symbolizing the end of a beautiful yet ephemeral experience.

As the song progresses, the lyrics explore the paradox of love's enduring presence despite its transient nature. The heart, described as having the wrinkles of a desert, signifies the lasting scars left by past relationships. Yet, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer acknowledges that love, like a child, is something to be chased and that it will return like the dawn. The final verses encapsulate the duality of love as both a hurricane and a distant, observable force, reinforcing the idea that love's magnitude is undeniable, even when it leaves us feeling abandoned and vulnerable. The song concludes with a sense of anticipation, as the arrival of a storm hints at the cyclical nature of love and the inevitability of new beginnings.
