La Cura
"La cura" (lit. 'The cure') is a 1996 song by Franco Battiato, the second single from his album L'imboscata. The song was composed by Battiato following the death of his mother Grazia, and its lyrics have been subjected to various interpretations, meant as a romantic dialogue between two lovers, between a parent and a child, or as an inner reflection on oneself. Battiato described the song as "a prayer in reverse", not made by a man to God but in which it's God who comforts the humanity. The song was awarded song of the year at the Premio italiano della musica.
In 2010, Battiato recorded a new version of the song with Lucio Dalla, Gianni Morandi, Sepideh Raissadat, Florence Donovan, Iskra, and Roberto Ferri for the charity album Ti amo anche se non so chi sei. He also recorded the song in Spanish, with the title "El cuidado". Artists who covered it include Adriano Celentano, Massimo Ranieri, Fiorella Mannoia, Alice, Noemi, Greg Castiglioni, Loredana Errore.
