Lyrics
editThe song is a classic piece of love, characterized by a strong vocal chiaroscurism. The text describes the difficulties of a couple separated by the numerous trips of him, using a very idiomatic language. If words were to be literally translated into a different language (like English), several non-sense could be in place.
The song has a very original and appealing melody and jingle ("dudu dadada"), which remained famous in Italy for many years especially among lovers who started referring to him as "trottolino" (that means my baby, honey, sweetheart, my dear).
