L’Uomo Cannone Lyrics Translation: Tonypitony | Tonypitony

TonyPitony’s ‘L’UOMO CANNONE’ spins a surreal tale of circus escapism from his self-titled album. Lyricists Samuele Cammarana and Simone De Simone mix bouncing melodies with a story about a sofa-bound dreamer launching into the sky on a paper plane. The music feels playful yet bittersweet, like confetti falling after a parade has passed.

TONYPITONY’s L’UOMO CANNONE Italian Lyrics English Translation

Cammarana and De Simone draft vivid scenes: the cannonball man brushes stars while audiences laugh and chew popcorn below. ‘Urla senza arrossire: Mi sento morire’ (He screams without blushing: ‘I feel like dying’) twists the spectacle into something raw. Even his moon landing collapses—he wakes up crashed on his bed, claiming ‘it’s the end of the world.’

L’uomo CannoneThe Human Cannonball,
Vola Dal Suo DivanoHe flies from his sofa,
Su Un Aereo Di CartaOn a paper airplane,
Per Un Viaggio LontanoOn a journey far away.
L’uomo CannoneThe Human Cannonball,
Paura Non HaDoesn’t have any fear,
Di Lasciare La TerraOf leaving the Earth,
E Ciò Che SaràAnd whatever might be.
E Se Ti Accorgi Che C’ho Gli Occhi RossiAnd if you notice that I’ve got red eyes,
Forse È Perchè Tu Non Piangi MaiMaybe it’s because you never cry.
Hai I Capelli Lisci Ma Li Vedo MossiYour hair is straight, but I see it wavy.
Svegliami Quando Te Ne VaiWake me up when you leave.
L’uomo CannoneThe Human Cannonball,

L’uomo CannoneThe Human Cannonball,
Non È Tuo PadreHe’s not your father.
L’uomo Cannone NoThe Human Cannonball, no,
Non MoriràHe won’t die.
Morirà Morirà MoriràHe’ll die, he’ll die, he’ll die.
Il Circo Lo SaThe circus knows it,
Che È L’uomo MiglioreThat he’s the best man,
Ma Lo Prendono In GiroBut they make fun of him.
Perchè Sa VolareBecause he knows how to fly.
L’uomo CannoneThe Human Cannonball,
Sfiora Le StelleBrushes against the stars,
Ma Pubblico MangiaBut the audience eats.
E Ride A CrepapelleAnd they laugh their heads off.
Turbolenze ViolenteViolent turbulence hits,
Trema La FusolieraThe fuselage shakes,
Urla Senza ArrossireAnd he screams without blushing,
“mi Sento Morire”“I feel like I’m dying.”
Mira Alla LunaHe aims for the moon,
Fa Un Respiro ProfondoTakes a deep breath,
Atterra Sul LettoAnd lands on the bed.
La Fine Del MondoIt’s the end of the world.
