Looking For You
In Search of Love: Nino Ferrer's Melodic Quest
Lyrics
I'm looking for you
I am actively searching for you
I'm looking for you
Reiteration of the search for the person
Don't know where to go
Feeling lost and uncertain about the direction
Don't know what to do
Confused and unsure about what actions to take
I walk along the street
Walking in a public space
Between a million people
Surrounded by a large number of people
That I don't see
Not noticing those around, perhaps preoccupied
Maybe they think
Suggesting that others might perceive the person as mentally disturbed
That I am mad
Speculating on others' perceptions of the person's mental state
I fell in love, I am in love with you
Expressing love and being in love with someone
La la la la la, la la la la la
Non-lexical vocalizations, possibly representing a joyful or carefree mood
I made this song
Creation of the song for a specific person
'Cause I love you
Stating the reason for creating the song (love)
I made this song just for you
Emphasizing that the song is dedicated to a particular individual
I made this song deep in my heart
Expressing deep emotions and personal investment in the song
I was thinking of you
The creative process involves thoughts about the person
Because time runs so fast
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time
And it never comes back
Highlighting the irreversible nature of time
And that's all
Summing up what is retained over time
I can keep with me
Retaining the memories of a past love
That sweet love that you gave me to me
Recalling the affection received from the person
I'm looking for you
Repeating the active search for the person
I'm looking for you
Reiteration of the ongoing search
Don't know where to go
Feeling lost and uncertain, echoing earlier sentiments
Don't know what to do
Reiterating confusion and indecision
I walk along the street
Continuing to walk in a crowded space
Between a million people
Being surrounded by people without personal connection
That I don't see
Emphasizing the lack of meaningful interactions with others
Maybe they think
Speculating on others' perceptions of the person's mental state, repeated theme
That I am mad
Reiteration of the perception of possible madness
I fell in love, I am in love with you
Reaffirmation of being in love with someone
La la la la la, la la la la la
Repetition of non-lexical vocalizations, maintaining a joyful mood
I made this song
Stating the purpose of the song creation (love)
'Cause I love you
Reiteration of the reason for making the song
I made this song just for you
Affirming the dedication of the song to a specific person
I made this song deep in my heart
Reaffirming the depth of emotions and personal investment in the song
I was thinking of you
Reiteration that the creative process involves thoughts about the person
Because time time runs so fast
Repeating the reflection on the fleeting nature of time
And it never comes back
Reaffirming the irreversible aspect of time
And that's all I can give to thee
Concluding that memories and love are the only things retained over time
That's sweet, I can dream, give to thee
Emphasizing the sweetness of dreams as something enduring
