Lean On Lyrics English Translation by Dj Snake | Major Lazer
MØ sings about a past filled with carefree days and youthful boldness, asking, ‘Do you recall, not long ago, we’d walk on the sidewalk?’ The song shifts to a reflective tone, with lyrics like, ‘I still don’t know who I want to be, but I know I’m not who I want to be yet,’ capturing the struggle of self-discovery and the need for support.
Do you recall not long agoDo you recall, not long ago,
We would walk on the sidewalkwe’d walk on the sidewalk?
Innocent rememberInnocent, remember?
All we did was care for each otherAll we did was care for each other.
But the night was warmBut the night was warm,
We were bold and youngwe were bold and young.
All around the wind blowsAll around, the wind blows;
We would only hold on to let gowe’d only hold on to let go.
Blow a kiss fire a gunBlow a kiss, fire a gun;
We need someone to lean onwe need someone to lean on.
Blow a kiss fire a gunBlow a kiss, fire a gun;
All we need is somebody to lean onall we need is somebody to lean on.
Blow a kiss fire a gunBlow a kiss, fire a gun;
We need someone to lean onwe need someone to lean on.

Mi chiamo Alfa dalla costa genoveseMy name’s Alfa from the Genoese coast,
Arrivo oltreoceano con Mø e Major LazerI’m arriving across the ocean with Mø and Major Lazer.
Mi piace pensare che tutto è un’evoluzioneI like to think that everything’s an evolution,
Che è parte del processo anche sbagliare direzionethat taking the wrong direction is part of the process too.
Se è vero che sai quello che fai quando nessuno ci credeIf it’s true you know what you’re doing when nobody believes in it,
Sai il peso che porti ma che nessuno vedeyou know the weight you carry that nobody sees.
Se hai la vita che vuoi non quella che doveviIf you’ve got the life you want, not the one you were supposed to have,
Sei l’amore che dai non quello che ricevi ehyou’re the love you give, not the love you receive, eh.
Io non so ancora chi voglio essereI still don’t know who I want to be,
Ma so che non sono ancora chi voglio esserebut I know I’m not who I want to be yet.
Mi sento un orologio senza le lancetteI feel like a clock without its hands,
Un mosaico senza tessere però io continuoa mosaic missing pieces, but I’ll keep going
Avanti e confidoforward, and I’ll trust
Molto più nel viaggio che nel punto d’arrivomuch more in the journey than the final destination.
Che paradossalmente ciò che mi fa stare vivoBecause paradoxically, what keeps me alive
Son tutte quelle cose che mi tolgono il respiroare all those things that take my breath away.
