D' Improvviso

Rosalia de Souza's song 'D' Improvviso' is a heartfelt exploration of the transformative power of love. The lyrics describe a sudden and profound change in the narrator's life, akin to the transition from childhood to adolescence or the confusion between past and present. This transformation is attributed to the love they have found, which has completely altered their perspective and brought immense joy into their life. The phrase 'che miracolo, vita mia' (what a miracle, my life) encapsulates the wonder and gratitude the narrator feels for this newfound happiness.

The song delves into the all-encompassing nature of love, illustrating how it affects the narrator's thoughts and actions. They find themselves constantly thinking about their beloved, seeing their face in every person they encounter, and feeling a sense of joy and indulgence in everyday interactions. This pervasive presence of love in their life is described as a form of 'follia' (madness), yet it is a madness they embrace wholeheartedly. The narrator expresses deep gratitude for this love, acknowledging that it has restored their faith in love itself.

'D' Improvviso' also touches on the theme of personal growth and emotional resilience. The narrator's ability to smile at everyone and find joy in everything signifies a profound internal change. This shift is not just about being in love but also about becoming a more compassionate and joyful person. The repeated phrase 'ho stampato l'allegria dentro me' (I have imprinted joy within me) highlights the lasting impact of this love on their inner self. The song beautifully captures the essence of how love can unexpectedly and radically transform one's life, bringing both madness and joy in equal measure.
