Allora si (Cover)
Italian neo-soul / indie-pop ballad, mid-tempo around 80 BPM. Warm, groovy drum groove (soft kick and snare, laid-back feel), electric bass with melodic soulful lines, Rhodes / electric piano as main harmony, clean electric guitar with light chorus doing small riffs between vocal phrases. Add a few subtle brass stabs in the choruses. Lyrics are in Italian with one verse in English (already provided). Male Italian vocal with a warm, slightly husky Mediterranean tone, somewhere between falsetto and mezzo-voce: intimate and tender in the verses, more open and emotional in the choruses, with expressive phrasing and small cracks on the higher notes. Keep the mix warm, organic and spacious.

Lyrics
Strofa 1
Lunedì
mi lasciasti in quell'angolo, così
Gli occhi fissi sulle tue parole
Non ti serbo rancore ora, oh
Lunedì
mi tenevi stretto fra i libri di scuola
Fra i palazzi vecchi di questa città
Che mi dà emozione ancora
Ritornello
E allora sì
Che vale 'a pena e vivere e suffri'
E allora sì
Che vale 'a pena e crescere e capi'
Credere ancora all'amore
Farsi portare un po' di più
Oppure è tutta suggestione
Questa vita, questa vita
Strofa 2
Lunedì
cerco Enrico, ma Enrico non si trova
Forse è a casa oppure in autostrada ancora
Noi che corriamo troppo
in questa solitudine
Strofa– English
Monday rain
washing all the colors from the streets,
but your voice is still a fire underneath.
I was scared that love was only in my head,
then you touched my hand and woke it up instead.
Ritornello
E allora sì
Che vale 'a pena e vivere e suffri'
E allora sì
Che vale 'a pena e crescere e capi'
Credere ancora all'amore
Farsi portare un po' di più
Oppure è tutta suggestione
Questa vita, questa vita
