About La mia città

"La mia città" (English: My city) is a song by Italian singer Emma Marrone. It was chosen by Italy's public broadcaster RAI to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. The song received only 33 points in the final vote, ranking at 21st place in the final ranking of the competition. This represents one of the worst placements of the 40 occasions in which Italy has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest. This is also the first time since Italy returned in 2011 the country has not placed inside the top 10. Also this is the worst position for Italy in the whole Eurovision history (although not their worst score, as they finished 17th and joint-last with the dreaded nul points in the 1966 contest with Domenico Modugno's "Dio, come ti amo").

Odio andare di fretta, 
I rumori, la nebbia, il tempo appeso, 
Di questa città
Odio le scarpe col tacco, 
Che incastro distratta nei tombini invadenti 
Di questa città
Odio me stessa allo specchio non per il difetto, 
Ma per stupidità
Amo restare in giro sapendo di tornare sempre 
In questa città

E dimmi se c'è un senso al tempo, 
Al mio vagare inutile,
E dimmi se c'è davvero una meta 
O dovrò correre per la felicità

E corro corro avanti e torno indietro 
Scappo voglio prendo e tremo
Stringo forte il tuo respiro 
E penso a me che non ho un freno spingo forte non ti temo 
Voglio tutto voglio te...
Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te...

Amo il traffico in centro, parcheggiare distratta, 
Il tuo sorriso, la mia instabilità
Amo fare l'offesa senza neanche una scusa fare pace la sera, 
Spegni la città
E amo me stessa per questo per egocentrismo, 
Senza, razionalità
Amo prenderti in giro sapendo di tornare sempre, 
Nella mia città

E dimmi se c'è un senso al tempo, 
Al mio vagare inutile,
E dimmi se c'è davvero una meta,
O dovrò correre per la felicità

E corro corro avanti e torno indietro, 
Scappo voglio prendo e tremo, 
Stringo forte il tuo respiro 
E penso a me che non ho un freno spingo forte non ti temo, 
Voglio tutto, voglio te 
Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te

E dimmi se lo vuoi 
E dimmi che non sei 
Soltanto un riflesso confuso che guardo sul fondo di me

E corro corro avanti e torno indietro, 
Scappo voglio prendo e tremo, 
Stringo forte il tuo respiro 
E penso a me che non ho un freno spingo forte non ti temo, 
Voglio tutto voglio te, 
Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te, voglio te

Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te, voglio te
