VIA CON ME - Paolo Conte
Song lyrics in Italian
Via, via, vieni via di qui.
Niente pių ti lega a questi luoghi,
Neanche questi fiori azzurri.
Via, via, neanche questo tempo grigio
Pieno di musiche e di uomini
Che ti son' piaciuti.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful,
it's wonderful.
Good luck, my babe.
It's wonderful,
it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
I dream of you.
Chips, chips.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Via, via, vieni via con me.
Entra in questo amore buio.
Non perderti per niente al mondo.
Via, via, non perderti per niente al mondo
Lo spettacolo d'arte varia
Di uno innamorato di te.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful,
it's wonderful.
Good luck, my babe.
It's wonderful,
it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
I dream of you.
Via, via, vieni via con me.
Entra in questo amore buio, pieno di uomini.
Via, via, entra e fatti un bagno caldo.
C'č un accappatoio azzurro.
Fuori piove un mondo freddo.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful,
it's wonderful.
Good luck, my babe.
It's wonderful,
it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
I dream of you.
Chips, chips.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Du-du-du-du-du.
English Translation
Away, away, come away from here.Nothing binds you to these places anymore,
Not even these blue flowers.
Away, away, not even this grey weather
Full of music and men
That you once liked.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
Good luck, my babe.
I's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
I dream of you.
Chips, chips.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Away, away, come away with me.
Step into this dark love.
Don't get lost for anything in the world.
Away, away, don't miss for anything in the world
The variety show
Of someone in love with you.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
Good luck, my babe.
I's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
I dream of you.
Away, away, come away with me.
Step into this dark love, full of men.
Away, away, come in and take a hot bath.
There's a blue bathrobe.
Outside it's raining, a cold world.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
Good luck, my babe.
I's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.
I dream of you.
Chips, chips.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Du-du-du-du-du.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of the song "Via con me"?
The central theme of the song "Via con me" is a passionate urge to leave everything behind. The narrator is talking to a woman, trying to convince her that nothing holds her back anymore from the place or life she currently inhabits.
What does the protagonist refer to the blue flowers?
By saying "not even these blue flowers," he implies that even the most beautiful,
delicate or comforting aspects of her current environment are no longer enough of a reason to stay.
In European literature (especially German Romanticism), the "blue flower" (blaue Blume) is a traditional symbol of desire, love,
nostalgia and the metaphysical striving for the infinite. By using this imagery, Conte highlights that even her deepest dreams or nostalgic attachments to her past are faded now.
What is the meaning of "Chips, chips"?
The song is famous for its catchy, upbeat jazz piano and Conte's nonsensical vocal improvisation (scatting), creating a brilliant emotional contrast. While the lyrics carry a heavy, dramatic and deeply romantic weight, the joyful swing rhythm and playful "chips, chips" represent the lightness, freedom and sheer joy of breaking free.
Why does the protagonist mention "a hot bath"?
Taking a hot bath is a ritual of washing away the old. The narrator is telling her to wash off the dust of her past life, her old regrets and the "gray weather" she is leaving behind.
Conte explicitly contrasts the indoor warmth with the harsh reality outside ("outside it's raining, it's a cold world"). The hot bath is an immediate sanctuary to shield her from the cynicism, hostility and loneliness of the outside world.
What is the meaning of "a blue bathrobe"?
By placing a blue bathrobe at the destination, Conte signals a beautiful transition. She isn't abandoning beauty or romance by escaping with him; she's simply finding a new, safer version of it. The blue that used to tie her to her past (like the blue flowers) is now waiting to wrap and comfort her in her future.
