a tanto così Lyrics Translation – Fausto Lama

Fausto Lama questions if affection turns harmful based on personal turmoil, not physical differences. He states that people feel more alive through mistakes, not perfection. These moments shape the messy reality of human connections.

E I Miei Peggiori RimpiantiAnd my worst regrets

Li Ho Lasciati Sopra I Davanzali Delle Case Degli AltriI’ve left them on the windowsills of other people’s houses,

Coi Miei Migliori Accendini OhWith my best lighters, oh.

E Tu Che Combini SiAnd what’re you up to, yeah,

Che La Differenza Tra Un Bacio Ed Un Morso‘Cause the difference between a kiss and a bite

Non Sono I CaniniIsn’t the canine teeth.

Si Ma Sono I CasiniYeah, but it’s the messes

Che Ancora Ti FaiThat you’re still making for yourself.

Ma Poi Come StaiBut anyway, how are you?

Di Giorno Sbadigli (Come Me)You yawn all day (like me),

Le Amiche Coi FigliYour friends have kids,

Ma A Te Chi Ti FermaBut who’s gonna stop you?

Che Ancora Scintilli Dal Pigneto Ai NavigliYou’re still sparkling from Pigneto to Navigli,

Che Mica Dalle SuoreIt’s not like you went to school with the nuns,

Hai Fatto Le ScuoleThat’s not where you learned your lessons.

Di Calci Nel CuoreKicks to the heart,

Ne Hai Presi E Ne Hai DatiYou’ve taken some and you’ve given some,

Un Po’ Come MeA bit like me.

Che Sto Vivendo A Tanto Cosi‘Cause I’m living so close

Dall’essere CapitiTo being understood,

A Tanto CosiSo close

Dal Non Sentirsi Dire Un’altra VoltaTo not hearing it said one more time

Che Tanto E CosiThat’s just how it is,

Ma Serve Un’ideaBut you need an idea.

Andare In PalestraGoing to the gym,

Andare Ai ConcertiGoing to concerts,

Andare In ApneaGoing breath-hold diving.

Che La Differenza Tra Un Amore E Un Fucile‘Cause the difference between a love and a rifle

Sono Solo PallottoleIs only the bullets,

Quindi Proteggi Le CostoleSo protect your ribs.
