The Enigmatic Forces of Life in 'Cosa Sarà'

Lucio Dalla's song 'Cosa Sarà' delves into the profound and often inexplicable forces that drive human existence. The lyrics are a series of contemplative questions about the essence of life, love, and the human condition. Dalla's poetic inquiry begins with the line 'Cosa sarà, que crescere gli alberi e la felicità,' which translates to 'What will it be that grows trees and happiness?' This sets the tone for a philosophical exploration of the unseen forces that shape our lives, from the natural world to our deepest emotions.

The song touches on the paradoxes of life, such as the idea that something can cause a person to die young even if they live to be a hundred. This could be interpreted as a reflection on the emotional and psychological burdens that can weigh heavily on a person, regardless of their physical age. Dalla also questions what drives people to love, to seek justice, and to act against their own interests. These lines suggest a search for meaning in actions that seem irrational or driven by an unseen hand.

'Cosa Sarà' also explores the duality of human experience, such as the courage and fear that coexist within us. The lyrics mention the 'strange courage' and the fear that leads us to listen to the night as it descends. This duality is further emphasized in the imagery of a man feeling alone despite being surrounded by the world, likened to a bird in flight that pauses to look down. Dalla's song is a meditation on the mysteries of life, urging listeners to ponder the forces that drive us and the meaning behind our actions.
