PRONTO COME VA

The Kolors' song "PRONTO COME VA" is a vibrant blend of nostalgia, longing, and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics are a heartfelt exploration of the emotions that linger after a relationship has ended. The song opens with a casual greeting, "Pronto? Come va?" which translates to "Hello? How are you?" This simple question sets the tone for the song, highlighting the yearning for connection and the familiar comfort of a loved one's voice.

Throughout the song, there are references to iconic cultural figures and songs, such as Raffaella Carrà and the Pink Floyd, which serve to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The mention of "Blue, da-ba-dee-da" is a nod to the 1990s hit "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65, further emphasizing the theme of longing for the past. The lyrics also touch on the idea of shared memories and experiences, as seen in the line "Nostalgia di quello che mi facevi tu," which translates to "Nostalgia for what you used to do to me." This sentiment is a universal reflection on how past relationships leave a lasting imprint on our lives.

The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Pronto? Come va?" underscoring the persistent desire to reconnect and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics convey a sense of regret and self-awareness, acknowledging mistakes with the line "Lo so che ho sbagliato, ma chi è che non sbaglia?" meaning "I know I made mistakes, but who doesn't?" This introspection is paired with a yearning for reconciliation, as the singer grapples with the idea of being left with "il cielo in una stanza," or "the sky in a room," a metaphor for feeling trapped in memories.
