Sarà La Nostalgia

Sandro Giacobbe's song 'Sarà La Nostalgia' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of longing and the pain of lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man grappling with the remnants of a past relationship, unable to move on. The imagery of the wind from the bay and the stormy sea serves as a metaphor for the internal chaos and emotional turbulence the protagonist feels. The line 'Non so dimenticare chi non m'ama più' (I can't forget who doesn't love me anymore) encapsulates the essence of his struggle, highlighting the difficulty of letting go of someone who no longer reciprocates his feelings.

The song's chorus, repeating 'Sarà la nostalgia' (It will be nostalgia), underscores the pervasive sense of longing that defines the protagonist's existence. He reflects on how the summer, a time often associated with warmth and happiness, has flown by, leaving him feeling incomplete. The phrase 'un uomo che vive per metà' (a man who lives halfway) poignantly expresses his sense of incompleteness and the void left by the absence of his former lover. This sentiment is further emphasized by his sleepless nights and the childlike imagination that keeps him tethered to memories of when they were together.

Giacobbe's lyrics also touch on the bittersweet nature of memories. The protagonist reminisces about their walks, the sound of her laughter, and the emotions that blossomed with her presence. These memories, though cherished, are also a source of pain, likened to a 'nodo in gola' (a knot in the throat) that he can't swallow. The song concludes with a resigned acceptance of his situation, acknowledging that while he still thinks of her as his, the future remains uncertain. 'Sarà quel che sarà' (It will be what it will be) reflects a sense of fatalism, recognizing that some things are beyond his control.
