Dimmi Come Fai

Roberto Carlos, a legendary figure in Latin music, brings a poignant and heartfelt narrative in his song 'Dimmi Come Fai.' The lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has come to an end. The song opens with the singer questioning where his former lover is going and who will now be the 'master' of her life. This metaphor of ownership and control highlights the deep connection and sense of loss he feels, even though their relationship has ended. The phrase 'È stato così bello averti quì con me' (It was so beautiful to have you here with me) underscores the bittersweet memories of their time together.

The chorus, 'Dimmi come fai,' which translates to 'Tell me how you do it,' reflects the singer's struggle to understand how his former lover can move on so easily. He laments the loss of the 'magic' that once existed between them, a magic that he can no longer find in his own life. This sense of helplessness and confusion is a common theme in songs about lost love, but Roberto Carlos's delivery adds a layer of sincerity and vulnerability that resonates deeply with listeners.

The repetition of the lines about feeling a 'pugno al cuore' (a punch to the heart) and an 'empty feeling inside' during the night emphasizes the ongoing pain and longing that the singer experiences. The night, often a symbol of loneliness and introspection, becomes a time when the absence of his former lover is most acutely felt. The song concludes with the singer admitting that he has exhausted his ability to make her fall in love with him again, highlighting the finality of their separation. 'Dimmi Come Fai' is a touching exploration of love, loss, and the difficulty of moving on, capturing the universal experience of heartache with profound emotional depth.
