Lyrics: Gloria, you're missing in the air You're missing to a hand That works softly You're missing to this mouth That no longer tastes food And always this story That I call her Gloria Gloria, on your hips The morning sun rises Hate enters and love comes out From the name Gloria Gloria, you're missing in the air You're missing like salt You're missing more than the sun Melt this snow That suffocates my chest I'm waiting for you, Gloria Gloria (Gloria), countryside church (Gloria) Water in the desert (Gloria) I leave my heart open (Gloria) Run away without making noise From work, from your bed From the steps of an altar I'm waiting for you, Gloria Ah, ah, Gloria, for those who light up the day And instead of sleeping With the memory, they return To a dive among poppies In a free land For those who breathe mist For those who breathe anger For me, without Gloria With you naked on the couch I make cardboard stars Thinking of Gloria Gloria, you're missing in the air You're missing like salt You're missing more than the sun Melt this snow That suffocates my chest I'm waiting for you, Gloria Gloria (Gloria), countryside church (Gloria) Water in the desert (Gloria) I leave my heart open (Gloria) Run away without making noise From work, from your bed From the steps of an altar I'm waiting for you, Gloria The song "Gloria" by Umberto Tozzi & Marco Masini talks about the longing and absence of a person named Gloria.
