The song "Per Darti Amore" by Umberto Tozzi is a heartfelt love song that expresses the desire to give love to someone and the bittersweet emotions that come with it. The lyrics depict a longing to be with someone, as the protagonist asks them to open the door and let their fears go. The mention of an elephant going to die could symbolize the magnitude and inevitability of love and its effects. The person is urged to open their arms and let the protagonist stay, in order to give them love. The chorus repeats the phrase "per darti amore," which means "to give you love," emphasizing the protagonist's intention to offer their love as if it were another life. The imagery of their lips and fingers rising and taking flight together conveys the unity and connection they share. Despite potentially being bad or unfaithful with someone else, the protagonist forgives this person and is fully alive when with them, simply because of their love. The line "averti ancora è amaro e dolce" translates to "having you again is bitter and sweet," portraying the conflicting emotions experienced in their relationship. The song also compares their love to the healing power of having a child and having two hearts. It reflects the experience of feeling alive while also feeling a bittersweet sense of gentle death when with the beloved. Overall, "Per Darti Amore" explores the complexities of love and the depths of emotions that come with longing, forgiveness, and the desire to give oneself completely to another person.
