Umberto Tozzi's song "Calma" is about the struggles and complexities of a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration, a longing for understanding, and a desire for love and connection. The song begins with the protagonist expressing his worries about the future, questioning who will give him another job and feeling close to tears. He feels the need to keep moving forward in the world, showing indifference and dignity. He contemplates who will tell his feelings to the person he loves. The chorus reflects the protagonist's mixed feelings towards people and his wavering emotions. He expresses a sense of resentment and mentions hating everyone, including the person he loves. There is a feeling that something has been extinguished within him, making it easier for him to give up on love and let himself drift away. He accepts that things will go however they go, even with this person. In the following verses, the protagonist wonders whether he should enter or not, indicating his uncertainty and vulnerability. He hints at having cried through his singing and explains that he doesn't talk about anything, as the person he loves will understand. He compares even a flower moving while making love to the sensation he feels. The song then shifts to a dialogue between the protagonist and the person he loves. He reassures her that he loves her and that nothing else matters besides their love. However, he contrasts this sentiment with a focus on money and her dreams, insinuating that she lies and lives extravagantly. He feels the pressure to make sacrifices for her while observing her absence during the day. The exchange becomes tense, with the protagonist warning her to stay quiet or there will be trouble. He tries to mend the situation, apologizing and offering her a rose. He questions her if he's not as stubborn as she thought. He wonders if she thinks of him often and questions the genuineness of her affection, suggesting that her smiles can be obtained with money. The song ends on a note of acceptance and resignation. The protagonist acknowledges that he enjoys the silence, but he still needs to attend to tasks in the kitchen. He refers to her as a child and implies that she hides her dreams and turns off the lights out of embarrassment. However, he calls her the flower of love. Overall, "Calma" portrays the ups and downs, doubts, sacrifices, and struggles within a relationship. It explores themes of love, money, frustration, and the complexities of human emotions.
