Meravigliosa Creatura
Il Volo
A Serenade to the Wondrous Being
The song "Meravigliosa Creatura" by Il Volo is a passionate ode to a beloved person, likened to a 'wonderful creature.' The lyrics express a deep and intense love, one that is willing to endure hardships and overcome obstacles, symbolized by the singer's willingness to cross many seas and rivers, and to brave storms and lightning. The song conveys a sense of awe and reverence for the loved one, highlighting their unique and solitary presence in the world as something to be treasured and adored.
The repeated use of the word 'meravigliosa,' meaning 'wonderful' or 'marvelous,' underscores the admiration the singer has for the person they love. The imagery of 'eyes like the sun' burning in the heart suggests a love that is both warming and overwhelming, a sentiment that is further emphasized by the declaration of love for life when in the presence of this wonderful being. The song's romantic and poetic language elevates the subject of the singer's affection to an almost divine status, making the love professed feel transcendent and all-consuming.
The song also touches on themes of vulnerability and fear, as the singer acknowledges the 'wonderful fear' of having the loved one close. This fear is not one of danger, but rather the overwhelming realization of the depth of their feelings and the vulnerability that comes with such a profound emotional connection. The mention of a 'slow kiss' and the feeling of dying from a wonderful love encapsulate the intensity and intimacy of the relationship, suggesting that the experience of such love is both life-affirming and transformative.
