Lascia aperta la porta, lyric video sample
- Song language Italian
- 30-second excerpt
Style and material
If you come back, leave the door open: your place at the table is still set and the warm bread is uncut. “Lascia aperta la porta” is a tender Italian song of patient waiting. A train station at night. The words turn on a split-flap arrivals board as they are sung, letter by letter, then on an LED sign over a ticket window and on a printed ticket, while a door at the end of the hall opens onto warm light and the singer appears in the scenes as a still figure. The board, the ticket and the door all come from the words, “leave the door open” and waiting for a return, and the singer is taken from the artist’s own photo.
About this clip
Lascia aperta la porta is a 30-second lyric video sample for a song in Italian.
Visual style: words on a split-flap arrivals board in a train station at night.
Across the clip: The clip takes place in a large old train station at night, with marble floors, wall clocks and warm lamps. A woman in a long white dress waits on a bench, stands at a closed ticket window and walks alone across the empty hall. The words turn letter by letter on split-flap departure boards, black ones with white letters and one yellow display, and one line is typed on a paper tag lying on a bench beside a paper bag.
The first and the last line of the clip:
“Se torni, lascia aperta la porta”
“Rimetto il tempo dove lo lasciò”

Lyrics (caption text)
The same text as the captions of the video.
Se torni, lascia aperta la porta
Non serve dire niente, lo so
C'è ancora il posto tuo alla tavola
E il pane caldo che non taglierò
Se torni, anche solo per un'ora
Rimetto il tempo dove lo lasciò
