"L'Aurora" (English: "The Aurora"), also known by its Spanish name "La Aurora", is a song by Eros Ramazzotti, released in February 1997 through BMG Ricordi as the third single from his seventh studio album Dove c'è musica. In 2025 Ramazzoti re-recorded the song with vocal contribution by American singer Alicia Keys for his sixteenth studio album Una storia importante.[1]
Eros Ramazzotti dedicated "L'Aurora" to his daughter, named Aurora, who was born in the same year the song was released and was born from his relationship with Swiss and Italian television presenter Michelle Hunziker.[2]
In the lyrics of the song, inspired by the joy of the birth of his first child, Ramazzotti also expresses his hope that many things will go better for him in the future and that this will bring him the serenity he desires. The romantic musical accompaniment emphasises all the singer's concerns.[3][4]
Critical reception
The song is considered one of the best in Ramazzotti's discography.[5][6] Stefano Landi of Corriere della Sera ranked the song third on his list of "The 10 Best Italian Songs Dedicated to Children".[7]
Music video
The music video for the single was directed by Gregg Masuak. The Spanish version of the video won the Lo Nuestro Award for Video of the Year in 1997.[8]
