He then tells that his friends think he is crazy, but he argues his point that they have never met Gloria (so far, he has no proof of her actual existence) but one day when he finds her, he says his friends will talk about Gloria's beauty and her loyalty.

He further elaborates that he has always set Gloria free from him, just as he has set freedom from reality. The protagonist describes Gloria as his queen imagination that comes from his fascination, not from any kind of fantasy. He describes his living days as misery, but when he dreams of Gloria, he says his nights are liberty. In the original lyrics, Tozzi, who takes the role of the song's main character, tells that he is dreaming about an imaginary woman named Gloria.
