Cristina Lyrics

[Strofa 1]
Ricordo a quindic’anni, sì, mia madre la sera
Mio fratello che era un padre, sì, ed un padre non c’era
E noi che crescevamo tra figli di nessuno
La casa era un disastro, sì, le scritte sul muro
E poi la pasta in bianco perché ma’ era lontana
E noi che rubavamo dentro il supermercato
Così piccoli quei bimbi da far pena alla gente
Come il giorno che quel vecchio cassiere disse: “Fa niente”
Mia madre c’era sempre, è sempre stata vicina
Sognando una famiglia ma subendo per prima
Mentre mio padre addosso le urlava e la sminuiva
Quando la chiamai prima di farla finita
Ricordo a diciott’anni, sì, dormire in un Peugeot
Dio solo sa, sì, come ho fatto a uscirmene illeso
Fumavamo in quella macchina col sedile steso
Appannavo il vetro e scrivevo

[Ritornello]
“Cos’è l’amore?”
Quel tuo abbraccio che non smetteva, no, mai
Perché l’amore del mondo è neve al sole
È solo, sì, grazie a te se siamo noi
Oh
Tu che sei lo stelo di un fiore
Luce brucia, orchidea fragile
Tu vestita di sole, una dea

[Strofa 2]
Ricordo che per noi non ti compravi i vestiti
Risparmi per portarci cinque giorni a Parigi
E poi quando crescemmo tra ragazzi smarriti
Tu facesti da mamma, sì, anche ai nostri amici
Lorenza che viveva con noi senza sua madre
Quell’altra come un figlio ma figlia di alcolizzati
E tu che frequentavi quel posto a viale Bastoggi
Perché per te quei bimbi, sì, come fratelli nostri
Sei sempre stata grande, sì, sempre stata una madre
Ed io non sarei stato se non fossi stata tale
E oggi capisco tutto ma solo molti anni dopo
Quanto non è facile in fondo crescere un uomo
Ma ce l’hai fatta, mamma
Ma ce l’hai fatta, mamma

[Ritornello]
Cos’è l’amore?
Quel tuo abbraccio che non smetteva, no, mai
Perché l’amore del mondo è neve al sole
È solo, sì, grazie a te se siamo noi
Oh
Tu che sei lo stelo di un fiore
Luce brucia, orchidea fragile
Tu vestita di sole, una dea

[Strofa 3]
E tu che avevi dato la vita per noi al riparo
E lui che si era preso la tua ma era un estraneo
E mio fratello iniziava a farsi, si era ammalato
Forse cercando un padre, quello che se n’era andato
Spero che davvero tu oggi, sì, sia contenta
Perché quei sacrifici non sono stati per niente
E se oggi trattano i tuoi figli diversamente
È perché hai insegnato a dare senza mai indietro niente, mamma

[Bridge]
La-la
La-ra-le-ra-la-la
La-ra-le-ra-la-la-la
La-ra-le-ra-la-la

[Outro]
Cos’è l’amore?
Quel tuo abbraccio che non smetteva, no, mai
Perché l’amore del mondo è neve al sole
È solo, sì, grazie a te se siamo noi

Cristina Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
In the first verse, Achille Lauro recalls his teenage years marked by abandonment, poverty, and survival. With no father present, his brother steps into the paternal role while their mother struggles to stay close despite being physically distant. The chaotic home, stolen food, and graffiti-covered walls paint a picture of instability. Still, small acts of kindness — like a cashier’s silent compassion — offer glimmers of humanity. Lauro reflects on his mother’s suffering under an abusive partner and reveals his own moment of despair. The image of him writing on fogged car windows while sleeping in a car becomes a metaphor for hope, expression, and endurance in solitude.

[Ritornello]
The chorus elevates the emotional tone, framing love as a mother’s endless embrace — the only constant in a world full of transient affection. Achille Lauro contrasts her pure love with the ephemeral nature of worldly love, calling it “snow in the sun.” He metaphorically crowns her a goddess, portraying her as the delicate stem of a flower, fragile yet radiant — the very embodiment of nurturing femininity and spiritual strength.

[Strofa 2]
The second verse recounts more of his mother’s sacrifices — choosing her children’s joy over personal needs. Her selflessness extends beyond the family, as she takes in friends and broken children, becoming a maternal figure for many. Her strength lies not only in providing but in healing and uniting. Lauro acknowledges that only in adulthood did he come to understand the weight of raising a man, and he expresses immense gratitude for her perseverance. Her success isn’t measured by wealth or accolades, but by the integrity and love she instilled in her children.

[Ritornello]
This repetition of the chorus reinforces the sacred and transformative nature of maternal love. Her embrace becomes symbolic of healing, resilience, and identity. Lauro credits her entirely for who they have become, continuing to portray her as both human and divine.

[Strofa 3]
In this verse, Achille Lauro revisits some of the deepest traumas: a mother protecting her children while being destroyed emotionally by an abusive partner, and a brother spiraling into addiction in search of the father they never had. Despite the heartbreak, Lauro clings to hope that his mother finds peace knowing her sacrifices were not in vain. He affirms that the respect and better treatment he and his brother receive today is directly due to her strength and example — giving without ever expecting anything in return.

[Bridge]
The bridge, with its wordless melody, offers a moment of emotional exhale. The vocalization acts like a lullaby — soft, intimate, and filled with unspoken emotion. It allows the listener to feel the weight of everything shared so far.

[Outro]
The final outro gently returns to the chorus, encapsulating the entire message: true love is eternal, selfless, and maternal. Lauro ends where he began — in his mother’s arms — reaffirming that her love is the root of their survival and identity.
