Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "Lettera al futuro" by
Eros Ramazzotti are about an old story that has already been told. It's an old story, but will something tell you? It was also a dark time when the bad wind of a terrible disease was blowing. A prince decided to barricade himself in his castle and be only with his friends. He thought he would stay there until the fear and darkness passed. Joy reigned in the castle and they had a good time together. They ate a little of everything and danced a little. No one suspected that the bad wind would also come in there.
