Arisa writes a new chapter in her artistic history by competing at the Sanremo Festival with the song Magical fairy tale. It is a heartfelt ballad with a very personal meaning, a song divided between two moments: the present and the past.

Arisa explained that her whole life she has focused on suffering in love, on pining for bad relationships. Now, however, he sees everything with different eyes: love is something universal. A return that sparks curiosity not only for the song – intense, autobiographical, constructed as a journey from childhood to maturity – but also for the personal journey that has profoundly transformed her in recent years. From the crystalline voice that conquered the Ariston in 2009 to the conscious woman of today, her evolution is there for all to see.

How many times has Sanremo won?
The feeling between Arisa and the Festival is now clear given that the singer’s Sanremo career is full of successes. He won the Sanremo Festival twice: in 2009 among the New Proposals with Sinceritya song that made her known to the general public, and in 2014 in the Champions category with Against the wind.
In between, important placings: second in 2012 with The night – one of her most loved and long-lived songs – as well as other participations in which she has always been the protagonist. In total, Arisa has graced the Ariston stage seven times as a competitor, to which is added the role of co-host in 2015 and several special appearances, such as the duets of the cover evening.

How much weight has she lost?
In recent years his evident weight loss has also caused discussion. Arisa had previously stated that she weighed between 72 and 75 kilos at the time of Sincerity. Today the physical change is marked, but the singer explained that she has not followed drastic diets or extreme treatments.
She said she had adopted a more balanced diet – carbohydrates at lunch, no yeast in the evening to protect her voice – but above all that she had gone through a severe disappointment in love which took away her appetite. However, the singer has never experienced weight as an obsession, on the contrary. What matters to her is feeling good while what is written on the scale is just a number.
Between music and television
In addition to Sanremo, Arisa has consolidated her presence on TV as a judge of X Factorcoach of Friendsprotagonist of Dancing with the stars – program that won – and face of The Voice Kids And The Voice Senior. A multifaceted career that alternates music, television and social commitment.
With Magical fairy tale promises to bring the emotional narrative back to the center, the one that made it unique: fragile but powerful, ironic but profoundly authentic. And the Ariston audience, once again, is ready to listen to it.

The lyrics of “Magica favola” by Arisa
Below is the text of Magical fairy tale by Arisa:
At ten years old, I played with my dolls with love
At fourteen the first kiss in my hands I had a flower
During my adolescence I understood what passion was
Which has nothing to do with the heart, it is confused with pain
If the world ended right now I would smoke a cigarette
I would wear an amazing dress and I would look like a princess
I would call my father just to tell him that I miss him
Maybe I’m just tired
It’s already dawn outside
Once upon a time there was the ocean
I sailed with you
There was a moon in the sky
A night that I’m not even afraid of myself
At thirty everyone told me how beautiful your voice was
At forty I just want to find some peace again
That I would like to return to my mother’s arms
While another star falls
In romantic disorder
Once upon a time there was the ocean
I sailed with you
There was a moon in the sky
A night that I’m not even afraid of myself
Once upon a time there was a mystery
You fell in love with me
There was no black or white
But the most beautiful rainbow there is
I get lost in the waves
With the sun slowly turning on
And the past becomes the present
The little girl becomes innocent again
Close your eyes love
Or I’ll lend you the sunglasses
That for today life is a little magical fairy tale
Once upon a time there was the ocean
I sailed with you
There is no longer black or white
But the biggest rainbow there is
There’s a rainbow here inside me
