Come Sinfonia
Mina
A Symphony of Dreams and Love
Mina's song "Come Sinfonia" is a poetic and ethereal exploration of dreams and love, wrapped in a delicate musical arrangement that mirrors the lyrical content. The song begins with the word "Sogno" ("I dream"), immediately setting a dreamlike tone. The narrator closes their eyes and imagines a radiant light in the sky, symbolizing hope and the beauty of their dream. This light could be interpreted as the presence of a loved one, whose proximity brings immense joy and comfort.
The lyrics continue to describe an almost surreal experience where the narrator feels close to their beloved, sharing kisses and moments of intimacy that seem to dissolve into the dream. The mention of angels singing sweetly for the couple adds a celestial quality to the song, suggesting that their love is pure and blessed. The angels' song, described as a "canto fatto di felicità" ("a song made of happiness"), enhances the sense of bliss and otherworldliness.
As the song progresses, the narrator listens to the music, which feels like a symphony, and sees their beloved even closer. This symphony represents the harmony and perfection of their feelings. The chorus of angels continues to inspire dreams, and the narrator expresses a deep longing for the dream to become reality. The final lines, "Realtà, d'un sogno d'amor" ("Reality, of a dream of love"), encapsulate the central theme: the desire for the dream of love to transcend into the real world. Mina's emotive delivery and the song's orchestral arrangement create a timeless piece that resonates with anyone who has ever wished for their dreams of love to come true.
