Ok Dolce
Romantic Journey Through La Via del Gesù: Ok Dolce by Frank Moyo
Lyrics
Pick me up a quarter after ten
Prompting someone to pick up the speaker at a specific time.
I'll be waiting by where we first met
The speaker will be waiting at the place of their first meeting.
Just outside the bar that we called home
Referring to a bar as a familiar place; setting the scene.
We drove away in your cinquecento
Recalling a past moment driving in a cinquecento (Fiat 500).
Walking down la Via del Gesù
Walking down Via del Gesù, a street in a significant location.
Walking hand in hand just me and you
Describing a romantic moment of walking hand in hand.
Then we went upstairs to have a drink
Continuing the narrative, moving upstairs for a drink.
You fell into my arms made my heart sink
Expressing a moment where the speaker's emotions deepened.
Deep inside
Reflecting on internal feelings.
I was dead
Emphasizing a profound emotional state, possibly love.
Closed my eyes and said
Recalling a moment of closing eyes and expressing feelings.
Io ti vorrei
Italian: "I want you." A declaration of desire.
Stasera
Italian: "Tonight." Setting a specific time.
Andiamo fuori la città
Italian: "Let's go out of the city. Far away from here."
Lontanissimo di qua
Expressing a desire for distance or escape.
E se che sei

Ogni giorno ti sognerò

Ogni notte pregherò
Expressing a commitment to nightly thoughts of the person.
Come sei dolce
Complimenting the person's sweetness or nature.
I bought you a red rose when we sat down
Recalling a gesture of buying a red rose during a conversation.
I thought maybe that you would come around
Hoping the romantic gesture would have a positive impact.
We had a bottle of red a bottle of white
Describing sharing red and white wine as the night continued.
The bar was shutting down but we didn't mind
Indicating a relaxed attitude even as the bar was closing.
Deep inside

I was dead
Repeating the sense of emotional numbness or death.
Closed my eyes and said
Recalling a moment of expressing feelings with closed eyes.
