I only have about 50 words of Italian, so I can't really tell you much about what the song means. I can tell you that something stupid took place and at one point he's sorry about something (though for all I know, it could be "I'm sorry, but you're just going to have to kiss my ass"). Inside my head, he's done something dumb and Laura's pretty pissed off about it, and he's demonstrating the sincerity of his apology by writing her this jaunty little pop song.

The tune is infectious - I can't seem to get it off "repeat" on my new iPod - and Nek is a real find. I realize that comparisons to pop superstars are trite, but he really does sound to me like the demon love child of Bono, Sting, and some cute boyband or another. And he's quite easy on the eyes as well.
