Ricominciamo

Mina's song 'Ricominciamo' is a heartfelt plea for renewal and reconnection in a relationship that has faced its share of challenges. The lyrics are a raw and emotional outpouring from someone who cannot bear to live without love. The opening lines, 'E lasciami gridare, lasciami sfogare, io senza amore non so stare,' set the tone for the song, expressing a desperate need to vent and a profound inability to exist without love. This sets the stage for a narrative of longing and determination to rekindle a lost connection.

The song delves into the complexities of love and the pain of separation. The protagonist is not content to sit idly by and watch their love slip away. Lines like 'Io non posso restare seduta in disparte, né arte, né parte, non sono capace di stare a guardare' reveal a person who is actively fighting against the passive role of an observer. The imagery of 'questi occhi di brace' (these eyes of embers) evokes a burning passion that still exists, urging the protagonist to run towards their lover and declare, 'Ti amo, ricominciamo' (I love you, let's start again).

Mina's powerful delivery adds depth to the lyrics, making the listener feel the urgency and sincerity behind the words. The repeated calls to 'ricominciamo' (let's start again) are not just a request but a declaration of unwavering commitment. The protagonist acknowledges the lover's flaws and adventurous spirit, as seen in 'So che tu ami le stelle, gettarti nell'occhio del primo ciclone,' yet remains steadfast in their desire to support and rebuild the relationship. The song is a testament to the resilience of love and the willingness to fight for it, no matter the obstacles.
