The complex lyrics, behind the metaphorical story of two lovers, are a more general invitation to abandon prudence and traditions and embrace freedom.[1] The song has been described as "an iridescent folk rock that revives Mogol's pantheism, rudimentary but effective".[2]
Battisti recorded the song in Spanish as "La colina de las cerazas".[3]
