The song "L'uomo Volante" by Umberto Tozzi and Marco Masini tells the story of a person who imagines what it would be like if they had someone special in their life. The lyrics describe how they would understand the purpose of their life and see that every wrong choice they made led them to this person. They imagine the possibility of seeing their smile and creating a deep connection. The song talks about different scenarios where they could be together, such as at a stadium, in a bar, or through affectionate gestures that rarely happen. The narrator expresses their desire to give this person a special gift, like a sky in August with a star in the background or a hidden sun that represents their inner freedom. They also mention the importance of certain moments and memories, such as the sound of their name or the wings of a flying man, to never hide from their own reproaches. If this person were present in their life, the narrator would find the courage to fall in love with them and express their feelings, even if they won't listen. They would be proud to have this person in their life and consider them their only source of pride, comparing them to a returning swallow. The song also expresses the desire to offer a different world to this person, a world that has made peace with its cruelty and recognizes the strength in vulnerability. It mentions the anarchic instinct of a migratory heart and the wings of a flying man, symbolizing the desire to reach new heights and explore the person's essence. The narrator wishes to give this person the infinite love that a dreamy father offers, even if they may never come into their life. They hope that in their heart, this person will understand and appreciate their true self. In summary, "L'uomo Volante" is a heartfelt reflection on the imagined relationship and deep connection the narrator yearns for with someone special.
