"Rondini Al Guinzaglio" is a song by the Italian singer-songwriter Ultimo. The lyrics of the song depict a longing for freedom and escapism. The protagonist asks to be taken to places where they can feel the waves of the sea, where distant things become closer, and where there is room for a beer and some old regrets. They want to be taken to places where they can hear the wind's noise and where they could return at any moment. These places should have room for a smile and some old regrets. The chorus emphasizes the desire to be taken away, where everything transforms and where the world cannot touch them. They long to be taken to a place where their baggage feels light, where they are loved even if they make mistakes, and where every swallow rebels against being confined. The song continues with the plea to be taken to a safe place without words, where actions convey feelings. The protagonist asks to be taken to a bridge high above, where their pain is united with their usual enchantment. They request to be taken wherever their companion prefers because in an instant, they exist when they put their foot down. The lyrics highlight the idea that there is no answer to the past, so the protagonist asks to be taken to a place where they can learn to love things they have never loved before. They want to be taken to a place where existence is more important than knowledge. In the second part of the song, the protagonist asks to be taken to a place where the sky moves if observed attentively, where just one intense minute can make them feel alive forever. They want to be taken to a place where it rains, but they go out to wet their mind because nothing can hinder them if life is theirs. They long to be in a place where instead of feet, they have two blank pages and every step they take creates musical notes. The song concludes with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the desire to be taken to a place where everything transforms, where the world does not touch them, and where their baggage feels light. They want to be loved, even if they make mistakes, and they wish for every swallow to rebel against being confined. Overall, "Rondini Al Guinzaglio" captures the yearning for freedom, exploration, and finding solace in places where one can escape from the burdens and restrictions of the world. It expresses the desire for emotional and artistic fulfillment, where one's existence is nourished and their imagination is set free.
