Stupida sfortuna Meaning & Lyrics (Fulminacci)
The songwriter mentions photographs, underwater swims, and subway winds to describe a search for connection. ‘I’m running fast but I’m falling behind’ captures the struggle of keeping up with life. The poet uses posters, traffic lights, and black holes to paint a picture of longing in a bustling world.
Ti trovero dentro a una fotoI’ll find you inside a photograph,
Sotto l’acqua mentre nuotounderwater while I’m swimming.
Nella sabbia e nel cementoIn the sand and in the concrete,
Dentro un cinema all’apertoinside an outdoor cinema.
Come un’allucinazioneLike a hallucination,
In mezzo a tutte le personein the middle of all the people,
Che vanno chissa dovewho are going heaven knows where.
E passerannoAnd they’ll pass by,
Classifiche e sanremicharts and ‘Sanremo’ festivals,
Taxi treni aereitaxis, trains, and planes.
E se mi stai ancora cercandoAnd if you’re still looking for me,
Sono dove stavo ieriI’m right where I was yesterday.
Ho solo piu pensieriI’ve just got more thoughts,
Un po’ meno fiduciaa little less trust,
E qualche buona scusaand a few good excuses.
Ma pensa un po’But just think about it.
Stupida stupida stupida sfortunaStupid, stupid, stupid bad luck.
Tu come staiHow are you doing?
Gelida gelida gelida pauraCold, cold, freezing fear.
Vienimi a prendere sto in mezzo a una stradaCome and get me, I’m standing in the middle of a street.
Continuo a perdere le chiavi di casaI keep losing my house keys.
Ma pensa un po’But just think about it.
Vado di corsa e resto indietroI’m running fast but I’m falling behind,
E soffia il vento della metroand the wind from the subway blows.
Tra le piastrelle colorateBetween the colored tiles,
E le rovine sotto a un vetroand the ruins under glass.
C’e un manifesto col tuo nomeThere’s a poster with your name,
In mezzo a un fiume di personein the middle of a river of people,
Che vanno chissa dovewho are going heaven knows where.
E passerannoAnd they’ll pass by,
Semafori e cantieritraffic lights and construction sites,
Pianeti e buchi neriplanets and black holes.
E dai facciamo i seriAnd come on, let’s be serious.
Ma pensa un po’But just think about it.
Stupida stupida stupida sfortunaStupid, stupid, stupid bad luck.
Tu come staiHow are you doing?
Gelida gelida gelida pauraCold, cold, freezing fear.
Vienimi a prendere sto in mezzo a una stradaCome and get me, I’m standing in the middle of a street.
Continuo a perdere le chiavi di casaI keep losing my house keys.
E adesso il tempo e solo un mucchio di secondiAnd now time is just a pile of seconds,
Di primavere e poi di nuovo rami spogliof springtimes and then bare branches again.
Ma spero di essere il migliore dei tuoi sbagliBut I hope I’m the best of your mistakes.
Ci credi o noDo you believe it or not?
Stupida stupida stupida sfortunaStupid, stupid, stupid bad luck.
Gelida gelida gelida pauraCold, cold, freezing fear.
Dopo di te non l’ho piu detto a nessunaSince you, I haven’t said it to anyone else.
Vorrei raggiungerti ma qui c’e troppa notte e poca luna e lo saiI’d like to reach you, but it’s too dark here and there’s not enough moon, and you know it.
Stupida stupida stupida sfortunaStupid, stupid, stupid bad luck.
Che ci penso anche se non ci pensoThat I’m thinking about it even when I’m not,
Gelida gelida gelida pauracold, cold, freezing fear.
Ogni volta che non mi addormentoEvery time I don’t fall asleep,
L’infinito a me mi fa spaventothe infinite really scares me,
Come il cielo come il mare apertolike the sky, like the open sea.
Stupida sfortuna staro piu attentoStupid bad luck, I’ll be more careful.
