Casanova

This song will be included on my second musical project due in 2019, which will abandon the noir scenographies and moods of my first album, "The Waste Land", and will portray the golden and bright tones of myths and dreams. 

LYRICS

How can I try to go on?
How can I be like before?
One day
you came
it was like thunder
shaking my world, my detachment

I’m gonna watch from afar
painting a picture of your gaze

that make it make it wonderful
make it make it wonderful your way

How can I hold back my tears?
How can I fight what I feel?
O fate
We met here like two crossroads
then moving away from each other
I’m gonna try to forget
all of your shit and emotions

that make it make it wonderful
make it make it wonderful your way
Your way

I never told you the way I feel now
Something has frozen in my veins
And if you catch me I might run away
Yeah it hurts, but it’s fair

All of the mess that you left behind
is here in my soul cutting like a knife
You seem very well, I’m not quite as well
If only we could have more time to spend

Music and lyrics written by Francesca Raffagnino (Francie)

Your Way

"Losers Gonna Be Winners" is a song about not letting failures discourage and define you.

LYRICS

You think that I’m so boring because I’m good
It’s gonna be a show
that you have never seen before

I used to think
I was not enough
I was falling to pieces

That was before
that I started letting go

So don’t say
I won’t slay
Cause nothing you’re gonna do 
nothing you’re gonna say
will stop me
will block me
I know what I wanna do now 
I know where I wanna go

‘Cause baby I
envy those who get what they want 
It’s like a fight for survive
If I fail I’m not out
I’m gonna make it too

Beauty may count
but intelligence matters

Here there’s a world
You have so many things to know

So come pray
to stay
and nothing you’re gonna do 
nothing you’re gonna say
will stop me
will block me
I know what I wanna do now 
I know where I wanna go

When they tell you “you are a loser” don’t ever give up
It’s gonna make you stronger
You lose if you don’t try
Your life, your dreams, your future 
don’t hear what they say
Cause losers gonna be winners
It’s just a matter of time

Losers Gonna Be Winners

LYRICS AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Il vento non sa
spiegarmi perché 
si insegue qui
ciò che non c'è 
Se questa è realtà 
mi chiedo perché
combattere qui
per ciò che non c'è

Ho cercato tra scaglie di mare
una storia che mi raccontasse 
illusioni
che non ho più 
Per i sogni
sempre in guerra col mondo
Lo sfido a passo profondo e
guardo se tiene il tempo

Il vento non sa
spiegarmi perché 
si insegue qui
ciò che non c'è 
Se questa è realtà 
mi chiedo perché
combattere qui
per ciò che non c'è

A terra le ali
mi fanno sbandare
altrove si spiegano
in teatri di fantasie
In nebbia sottile
le vite si sfaldano
C'è troppo rumore 
per non stare a sentire

The wind doesn’t know
to tell me the reason why 
we are searching here 
for something that doesn’t exist 

If this is reality 
I wonder why 
fighting here 
for something that doesn’t exist 

I have been searching into the waves of the sea
for a story that could be about illusions
that I don’t have anymore

For my dreams
always being against the world
I challenge it with deepen steps
and I see if it keeps the rhythm

The wind doesn’t know
to tell me the reason why 
we are searching here 
for something that doesn’t exist 

If this is reality 
I wonder why 
fighting here 
for something that doesn’t exist 

On the ground my wings
make me stumble
In the clouds
I spread them in spectacles
of fantasies

In a fine mist
lives dissolve
It is all too loud
to not stay and hear
