Estate 83

Fiordaliso's 'Estate 83' is a nostalgic ode to a carefree summer spent with friends. The song captures the essence of youthful freedom and the simple joys of life during the summer of 1983. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of three friends who were inseparable, enjoying their days and nights together on an island. The repeated question, 'Cosa sarà?' (What will it be?), reflects a sense of wonder and curiosity about the future, while also reminiscing about the past.

The song is filled with imagery that evokes the warmth and spontaneity of summer. Phrases like 'Come un'onda del mare, calda più di me' (Like a wave of the sea, warmer than me) and 'Come un raggio di sole invade l'anima' (Like a ray of sun invades the soul) highlight the intense emotions and experiences of that time. The mention of simple pleasures, such as wearing a bikini and drinking a martini, underscores the carefree and uncomplicated nature of their lives during that summer.

Fiordaliso also touches on the bittersweet nature of nostalgia. The lyrics describe how looking at an old photo brings back memories and a sense of strangeness, yet also prompts laughter and joy. The song conveys a longing for the past while acknowledging that those moments are gone. The line 'Non la perdo ma un pò mi mancherà' (I don't lose it, but I will miss it a little) encapsulates this sentiment perfectly, expressing a deep appreciation for those memories while recognizing that they are now part of the past.
