Persa in un'isola grande così

-
Aveva grandi occhi neri e mi fa "Dove stai andando?"
➔ Imperfect tense (aveva) and present tense (fa, stai andando) used for narration and direct speech.
➔ "Aveva" (imperfect) describes a state in the past. "Fa" and "stai andando" (present) are used to represent speech happening in the present moment within the narrative.
-
C'è sempre uno che se ne va
➔ Use of "ce n'è" (there is/are) with a relative clause introduced by "che".
➔ "C'è" means "there is". "Uno che se ne va" is a relative clause describing the person who leaves.
-
Mi sento come l'ultima bottiglia che ho nel frigo
➔ Simile construction "come" (like/as) with a relative clause.
➔ The speaker compares their feeling to "the last bottle I have in the fridge". The relative clause "che ho nel frigo" modifies "bottiglia".
-
Che non ricordo mai mai mai mai
➔ Repetition for emphasis (mai mai mai mai)
➔ The repetition of "mai" (never) emphasizes the speaker's forgetfulness.
-
Sale come un ascensore quando vengo da te
➔ Subordinate temporal clause introduced by "quando" (when).
➔ "Quando vengo da te" is a temporal clause explaining when the feeling "sale" (rises) occurs.
-
Se fai così mi togli l'anima
➔ Conditional sentence (Se + present indicative, then present indicative).
➔ This type of conditional sentence expresses a real or likely condition and its consequence. If you do that (fai così), you take away my soul.
-
Tanto la cosa importante non è
➔ Use of "tanto" to emphasize the subsequent statement.
➔ "Tanto" here means "anyway" or "in any case", emphasizing that the important thing is not what was previously mentioned.
