Brividi Meaning & Lyrics (Blanco | Mahmood)
The songwriter mentions a ‘diamond-encrusted bike,’ a vivid symbol of dreams and escape. BLANCO sings about the pain of wanting to love someone but constantly failing, creating a sense of vulnerability. The line ‘I get the shivers, shivers, shivers’ captures the emotional tension perfectly.
Ho sognato di volare con teI dreamed of flying away with you
Su una bici di diamantiOn a diamond-encrusted bike
Mi hai detto sei cambiatoYou told me that you’ve changed
Non vedo piu la luce nei tuoi occhiI don’t see the light in your eyes anymore
La tua paura cos’eWhat exactly is your fear?
Un mare dove non tocchi maiA sea where you never touch the bottom,
Anche se il sesso non eEven if sex isn’t
La via di fuga dal fondoThe escape route from the depths
Dai non scappare da quiCome on, don’t run away from here,
Non lasciarmi cosiDon’t leave me like this
Nudo con i brividiNaked with the shivers
A volte non so esprimermiSometimes I don’t know how to express myself,
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempreAnd I’d love to love you, but I always mess up
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perleAnd I’d love to steal a sky of pearls for you
E pagherei per andar viaAnd I’d pay just to get away,
Accetterei anche una bugiaI’d even accept a lie
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempreAnd I’d love to love you, but I always mess up,
E mi vengono i brividi brividi brividiAnd I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
Tu che mi svegli il mattinoYou, who wake me in the morning,
Tu che sporchi il letto di vinoYou, who stain the bed with wine,
Tu che mi mordi la pelleYou, who bite into my skin
Con i tuoi occhi da viperaWith those viper eyes of yours
E tu sei il contrario di un angeloAnd you’re the absolute opposite of an angel,
E tu sei come un pugile all’angoloAnd you’re like a boxer backed into a corner,
E tu scappi da qui mi lasci cosiAnd you run away from here, leaving me like this
Nudo con i brividiNaked with the shivers
A volte non so esprimermiSometimes I don’t know how to express myself,
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempreAnd I’d love to love you, but I always mess up
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perleAnd I’d love to steal a sky of pearls for you
E pagherei per andar viaAnd I’d pay just to get away,
Accetterei anche una bugiaI’d even accept a lie
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempreAnd I’d love to love you, but I always mess up,
E mi vengono i brividi brividi brividiAnd I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
Dimmi che non ho ragione ehTell me that I’m not right, huh
Vivo dentro una prigione ehI’m living inside a prison, huh
Provo a restarti vicinoI try to stay close to you,
Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a p#ttane ehBut sorry if I then screw everything up, huh
Non so dirti cio che provo e un mio limiteI can’t tell you what I’m feeling, it’s a limit of mine,
Per un ti amo ho mischiato droghe e lacrimeFor a single ‘I love you’, I’ve mixed drugs and tears
Questo veleno che ci sputiamo ogni giornoThis poison we spit at each other every day,
Io non lo voglio piu addossoI don’t want it on my skin anymore
Lo vedi sono quiYou see, I’m right here
Su una bici di diamanti uno fra tantiOn a diamond-encrusted bike, just one among many
Nudo con i brividiNaked with the shivers
A volte non so esprimermiSometimes I don’t know how to express myself,
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempreAnd I’d love to love you, but I always mess up
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perleAnd I’d love to steal a sky of pearls for you
E pagherei per andar viaAnd I’d pay just to get away,
Accetterei anche una bugiaI’d even accept a lie
E ti vorrei amare ma sbaglio sempreAnd I’d love to love you, but I always mess up,
E mi vengono i brividi brividi brividiAnd I get the shivers, shivers, shivers
