VIVI E VAI

Eros Ramazzotti's song 'VIVI E VAI' is a profound reflection on the essence of life and the wisdom passed down through generations. The lyrics begin with a poignant message from the singer's father, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and self-discovery. The phrase 'Vai comunque vada che la strada sei tu' (Go, no matter what, because the road is you) suggests that each individual's path is unique and must be embraced, regardless of the challenges faced. This sentiment is reinforced by the metaphor of never stepping into the same river twice, highlighting the ever-changing nature of life.

The song also features a conversation with a beggar who offers a valuable lesson on happiness. The beggar's advice, 'Cieco e' chi sta fermo mentre tutto intorno va' (Blind is the one who stands still while everything around moves), underscores the importance of movement and adaptation. Life is depicted as a dynamic force that requires us to run, shout, start anew, and imagine. The imagery of building, navigating, blooming, and cultivating roses symbolizes growth and the continuous effort needed to find fulfillment.

Ramazzotti addresses the future generation, expressing hope and anticipation for the changes they will bring. The lyrics 'Figlio del futuro che presto arrivera' (Child of the future that will soon arrive) and 'Porterai nascendo un mondo nuovo per me' (You will bring a new world for me by being born) convey a sense of optimism and the belief that each new generation has the potential to create a better world. The recurring theme of life's constant flow, likened to music and time, serves as a reminder to live fully and embrace every moment. 'VIVI E VAI' is a celebration of life's journey, urging listeners to live with purpose and courage.
