"Attimi" is a song by Italian singer Umberto Tozzi. The song talks about fleeting moments in life and the emotions attached to them. The lyrics portray the passing of time, comparing it to a year that feels like today. The moon shines on the campsites and on the beach, and even the September rain is remembered as if it were yesterday. The narrator reflects on how someone once said, "It has already begun," implying that time keeps moving forward. The song emphasizes the idea that everything eventually passes. The narrator mentions working tirelessly during the winter and always being in debt. The telephone seems to judge, asking what it costs, urging the narrator to greet someone if they are there or to hang up if they are not. The lyrics also touch on the significance of fleeting moments. The narrator describes how these brief moments can seem eternal and perfect if one seizes them. They refer to these moments as "exiting your heart like loose change" and playing with them, even though they are aware of the possibility of losing. Love is portrayed as something that creates both winners and victims. The song also reminisces about memories from the past, such as the image of a bikini mark on someone's back during a summer reminiscent of America. These memories are described as moments of tired happiness. Overall, "Attimi" encourages appreciating the present moment, acknowledging that time keeps moving forward, and cherishing the ephemeral moments that life offers.
