Scusa Lyrics English Translation by Opi
The songwriter describes the struggle of letting go, with lines like ‘If you shoot now, I’ll feel how the cold burns.’ This vivid imagery of emotional pain contrasts with the mundane act of splitting a bar bill, showing how everyday moments can mask deeper issues. The performer’s voice carries both regret and defiance, making the story relatable.
Ho fatto i conti con me stessoI’ve settled scores with myself
E mi son lasciato andareAnd I’ve let myself go
Tu che mi hai reso diversoYou, who made me different,
E io ti ho lasciata fareAnd I just let you do it
Ma alla fine cosa ho persoBut in the end, what did I lose,
E ci sto pure a pensareAnd I’m even thinking it through?
Perché i demoni che ho dentroBecause the demons I’ve got inside
Non mi fanno ragionareDon’t let me think straight.
Se spari adesso sentiròIf you shoot now, I’ll feel
Come brucia il freddoHow the cold burns,
E se era solo sesso non lo soAnd if it was just sex, I don’t know.
E vorrai uscire al solito barAnd you’ll want to go out to the usual bar
E far finta di niente e pagare a metàAnd pretend nothing’s wrong and split the bill.
E scusaAnd I’m sorry,
Ma non è una scusaBut it’s not an excuse.
Se la notte sei sola non risponderòIf you’re alone at night, I won’t answer,
Se il tuo attacco di panico dura da un po’If your panic attack’s been going on for a while.
E scusaAnd I’m sorry,
Ma non è una scusaBut it’s not an excuse
Per andare via da teTo get away from you.
E ah ahAnd ah ah,
Fuori ora è buio pestoIt’s pitch black outside now.
E ah ahAnd ah ah,
Come ci divora il tempoHow time devours us,
Perché poi ci benda gli occhi eBecause it blindfolds our eyes and
Non ci lascia più vedereDoesn’t let us see anymore,
E ci fottono i ricordiAnd the memories mess with us,
Affogati in un bicchiereDrowned in a glass.
Se spari adesso sentiròIf you shoot now, I’ll feel
Come brucia il freddoHow the cold burns,
E se era solo sesso non lo soAnd if it was just sex, I don’t know.
E vorrai uscire al solito barAnd you’ll want to go out to the usual bar
E far finta di niente e pagare a metàAnd pretend nothing’s wrong and split the bill.
E scusaAnd I’m sorry,
Ma non è una scusaBut it’s not an excuse.
Se la notte sei sola non risponderòIf you’re alone at night, I won’t answer,
Se il tuo attacco di panico dura da un po’If your panic attack’s been going on for a while.
E scusaAnd I’m sorry,
Ma non è una scusaBut it’s not an excuse
Per andare via da teTo get away from you,
Via da teAway from you,
Via da teAway from you.
E strappami le labbraSo tear my lips away,
Scopiamo fino all’albaLose ourselves until dawn,
Tira fuori il peggio di me di me di meBring out the worst in me, in me, in me,
Dimmi cosa cerchi da me da me da meTell me what you’re looking for from me, from me, from me.
E vorrai uscire al solito barAnd you’ll want to go out to the usual bar
E far finta di niente e pagare a metàAnd pretend nothing’s wrong and split the bill.
E scusaAnd I’m sorry,
Ma non è una scusaBut it’s not an excuse.
Se la notte sei sola non risponderòIf you’re alone at night, I won’t answer,
Se il tuo attacco di panico dura da un po’If your panic attack’s been going on for a while.
