Rosary
Embracing Eternal Memories: Exploring Fabrizio Cammarata's 'Rosary'
Lyrics
Stay, moon, stay
Invoking the moon to stay
All night, all night
Repetition emphasizing the desire for the moon to remain throughout the night
Stay, moon, stay
Requesting the moon's presence
All night, all night
Reiterating the plea for the moon to stay all night
And if you hold my hand, if you hold my hand
Expressing a promise that the relationship or situation is complex and not easily understood by others
I promise that nobody will ever understand
Commitment to secrecy or exclusivity in the relationship
And if you see my love, will you sing my song?
Asking if someone will carry on expressing love in a song
And let her sing along until the break of dawn
Desiring the continuation of the song until daybreak
Like a Rosary
Comparing the relationship or experience to a rosary, symbolizing devotion, repetition, and prayer
We named all the stars
Recalling memories of naming stars held in their hands, metaphorically representing shared moments
We held in our hands
Reiteration of cherishing shared experiences and holding onto them
Like a Rosary
Reinforcing the comparison of the relationship or experience to a rosary
Stay, moon, stay
Repeated plea for the moon to stay
All night, all night
Emphasis on the desire for the moon to remain throughout the night
Stay, moon, stay
Reiterating the request for the moon's presence
All night, all night
Expressing a desire for the moon to stay all night
And if you see my dream, if you see my dream
Asking if someone will recall a dream involving the singer's love interest
Pick a memory of her and put it in that stream
Requesting to keep a memory of the loved one alive
And if you want my heart, if you want my heart
Offering the heart to the loved one
It's all for you to take because tonight
Stating the heart is available to the beloved
I'll just pretend the ocean and my tears are one
Conflating the emotions of the singer with the vastness of the ocean, indicating overwhelming feelings
Like a Rosary
Reiteration of the comparison of the relationship or experience to a rosary
We named all the stars
Recollection of naming stars and holding them, symbolizing shared experiences
We held in our hands
Reinforcement of cherishing and holding onto shared moments
Like a Rosary
Reiteration of the comparison of the relationship or experience to a rosary
Like a Rosary
Emphasizing the comparison to a rosary, signifying the depth and repetition of experiences
We named all the stars
Recollection of naming stars and holding them, reflecting on shared experiences
We held in our hands
Reiteration of cherishing and holding onto shared moments
Like a Rosary
Reaffirmation of the comparison of the relationship or experience to a rosary
