Mina opens the song with a steady voice that tells you how habits fade in an unsteady life. She records verses about a swing that hits hard then kisses gently, while the rest of the team crafts a tune that supports those shifts. The track invites you to hold a breath, toss it far, and watch it leave for good.

BUTTALO VIA Meaning & Lyrics (Mina)
She describes a breath held tight in a hand, showing how that moment is a cage that lifts when you throw it away. She writes that throwing the breath away repeats like three or five notes, creating a rhythm that says goodbye. The translation ‘All you need is a tight grip breath in your hand’ fits the image of a swing and a toss that frames letting go.
Adesso cheNow that,
Adesso che e impossibilenow that it’s impossible,
Che scivolino tutte via le abitudinifor all your habits to simply slip away,
Che tracciano una sciaas they leave a lingering trail,
Sul tuo vivere instabile che punti fermi non haon your unstable life that has no anchor points,
Sopra un’altalenariding on a swing,
Che ora mena e poi ti bacerathat hits you hard and then will kiss you,
E inutile intuire gia il cambio di andamentoit’s useless to try and guess the change of pace,
Se la parte buona e credereif the best part is believing,
Sia migliore il sapore di quello che ancora non c’ethat the taste of what’s not yet here is better.
Ti basta un soffio di vita chiuso in manoAll you need is a breath of life held tight in your hand,
Pronto da gettare lontano per sempre dovunque tu siaready to toss far away forever, wherever you may be,
Stringilo ancora e curalo per orahold on to it tightly and take care of it for now,
Fino a quando senti che e giunto il momento di buttarlo viauntil you feel the moment has come to throw it away.
Buttalo via via viaThrow it away, away, away.
Buttalo via via via via viaThrow it away, away, away, away, away.
Sopra un’altalenaRiding on a swing,
Che ora mena e poi ti bacerathat hits you hard and then will kiss you,
E inutile intuire gia il cambio di andamentoit’s useless to try and guess the change of pace,
Se la parte buona e credereif the best part is believing,
Sia migliore il sapore di quello che ancora non c’ethat the taste of what’s not yet here is better.
Ti basta un soffio di vita chiuso in manoAll you need is a breath of life held tight in your hand,
Pronto da gettare lontano per sempre dovunque tu siaready to toss far away forever, wherever you may be,
Stringilo ancora e curalo per orahold on to it tightly and take care of it for now,
Fino a quando senti che e giunto il momento di buttarlo viauntil you feel the moment has come to throw it away.
Buttalo via via viaThrow it away, away, away.
Buttalo via via viaThrow it away, away, away.
Fino a quando senti che e giunto il momento di buttarlo viauntil you feel the moment has come to throw it away.
