"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,[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] The song was awarded song of the year at the Premio italiano della musica.[4]
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.[5] 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.[6]
