What If We Went to Italy
Enchanting Escapade: A Summer in Italy's Bliss
Lyrics
What if we went to Italy
Expressing the idea of considering a trip to Italy.
A suitcase of books and one bag a piece for the summer?
Suggesting a light and simple packing for the summer, emphasizing leisure.
I don't speak a word of Italian
Admitting a lack of knowledge of the Italian language.
Except for Campari and soda for two
Knowing specific Italian words related to ordering a popular drink for two.
How much is a Lire? Yes, a villa will do
Considering the cost in Lire and expressing a preference for a villa in Tuscany with a refreshing breeze.
And a breeze in Tuscany please
Desiring a relaxing atmosphere in Tuscany.
What if we spent all of our days
Exploring the idea of spending time improving oneself and embracing a leisurely lifestyle.
Improving our minds, learning new ways to be lazy
Humorously suggesting the pursuit of laziness as a positive goal.
It wouldn't be too much of a strain
Emphasizing that the proposed lifestyle wouldn't be too demanding.
Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around
Describing a relaxed routine from breakfast to lunch.
Can't wait for dinner; oh, I need to lie down
Expressing anticipation for dinner and the need to rest.
And refuel out by the pool
Imagining replenishment and relaxation by the pool.
What if the ancients were lazy like us
Pondering the possibility that historical figures were as leisure-oriented as the speaker.
Too blissed-out to paint, to sketch, or to sculpt
Suggesting that even artistic and creative endeavors might be neglected in a state of blissful relaxation.
Just as relaxed as the tower of Pisa
Comparing relaxation to the leaning Tower of Pisa, indicating a carefree state.
Not ever missing that old Mona Lisa
Not missing the famous artwork (Mona Lisa) due to being blissfully occupied.
What if we never got back on the plane
Contemplating the possibility of not returning home and staying in Italy.
As summer turned colder and then warmer again
Reflecting on the changing seasons while staying in Italy.
Losing all track of the passing of years
Losing track of time and suggesting that the duration of the stay becomes insignificant.
Till it no longer mattered how long we'd been here
Emphasizing the diminishing importance of the passage of years during the extended stay.
What if we went to Italy
Repeating the desire to visit Italy, possibly indicating a persistent dream or longing.
Maybe next year, just you and me for the summer
Reiterating the idea of a potential future trip to Italy with a specific companion.
I still can't speak any Italian
Acknowledging the continued lack of proficiency in the Italian language.
But words are replaced under Siennese skies
Highlighting the idea that words become unnecessary in the beautiful surroundings of Siena.
By nothing so much as a nod and a sigh
Describing non-verbal communication through a nod and a sigh in the picturesque environment.
And a wish to be always like this
Expressing a desire for a perpetual state of contentment and relaxation.
