Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "L'amore e' come un giorno" by
Charles Aznavour describe the meaning and transience of love. The lyrics use metaphors and imagery to portray the different facets of love.
The song begins with the lines "L'amore e' come un giorno, Se ne va', se ne va'" (Love is like a day, it goes, it goes away). Here, the transience of love is emphasized. Just like a day passes, love can also disappear. It is noted that love is like a day that is blinded by the sunshine, tormented by the wind, and intoxicated by the rain. These lines convey the feeling that love can have both beautiful and difficult times.
Next, the lyrics say "Che sempre ti sorride, Che porta la dolcezza, Di una lunga carezza" (That always smiles at you, That brings sweetness, Of a long caress). Here, love is described as something that always smiles and brings sweetness, similar to a long embrace. These lines show the positive and fulfilling aspects of love.
The lyrics then switch to French and say "L'amour c'est comme un jour, Çà s'en va, ça s'en va l'amour" (Love is like a day, it goes away, it goes away, love). Again, the transience of love is emphasized. It is noted that love is like a day that alternates between sunshine and moonlight and battles with the rain.
The lyrics end with the lines "C'est comme un jour d'un infini sourire, Une infinie tendresse, Une infinie caresse, L'amour c'est comme un jour, Çà s'en va mon amour" (It's like a day of infinite smiles, Infinite tenderness, Infinite caress, Love is like a day, it goes away, my love). Here, love is described as something that brings infinite joy, tenderness, and embrace, but also fades away.
Overall, the lyrics of the song "L'amore e' come un giorno" by Charles Aznavour highlight the transience of love and emphasize the highs and lows that come with it. It shows that love is like a day that is constantly changing and passing.
