Description
It seems like everything about love has been understood for a long time until she arrives with ambulance sirens and a bewildered feeling that you went too far with your sincerity. The words come straight from the gut, not from the head, and the heart no longer responds, as if it's been stitched up with someone else's thread. And yet laughter returns, even if it's through a bruise, through fatigue, through a stranger's flower that turned out to be a ball. In this song, pain isn't drama, but part of the game: you can cry at ninety, you can love and laugh at yourself. Everything mixed together: pride, tenderness, absurdity. But from somewhere within this imperfect mix, warmth suddenly emerges, the very warmth for which it was worth shouting: "I love you, you're strange."
Lyrics and translation
Original
Sono stanco, son Riccardo, son di fretta.
C'è mia mamma a casa che non mi aspetta.
Sono Blanco, sono stato pure in vetta.
Ho toccato il cielo e il dito si raffredda.
Non ho firmato per una vita in diretta.
Ogni donna che ho abbracciato non l'ho stretta.
Non sento più il brivido, ora c'ho il livido.
E io dovevo dirtelo, ma dirtelo di pancia. Non puoi rifarti il cuore come ti rifai le labbra.
E mi hai chiamato un taxi, è arrivata un'ambulanza.
Mi hai detto che hai scoperto che si piange anche a novanta. Quindi non c'è limite.
Posso ancor urlartelo: "Ti amo, sei strana".
Torni a sorridere.
Era quello che mi interessava.
Anche una scusa non regge più.
Io sono questo, mi hai scelto tu.
Io sono quello che il bello lo calpesta.
Io sono questo, una bambola di pezza.
Uno tra tanti nell'occhio del ciclone.
Non arrabbiarti, quel fiore era un pallone.
Uno di quelli che bucano a un signore.
E vincere, vincere, vincere non è destinazione.
E io dovevo dirtelo, ma dirtelo di pancia.
Non puoi rifarti il cuore come ti rifai le labbra. E mi hai chiamato un taxi, è arrivata un'ambulanza.
Mi hai detto che hai scoperto che si piange anche a novanta.
E quindi non c'è limite.
Posso ancor urlartelo: "Ti amo, sei strana".
Torni a sorridere.
Era quello che mi interessava.
English translation
I'm tired, I'm Riccardo, I'm in a hurry.
My mother is at home and she's not waiting for me.
I'm Blanco, I've even been to the top.
I touched the sky and my finger gets cold.
I didn't sign up for a live life.
Every woman I've hugged I haven't held.
I don't feel the shiver anymore, now I have a bruise.
And I had to tell you, but tell you straight away. You can't remake your heart like you remake your lips.
And you called me a taxi, an ambulance arrived.
You told me that you discovered that you can cry even at ninety. So there is no limit.
I can still shout it to you: "I love you, you're strange".
You smile again.
That's what interested me.
Even an excuse no longer holds up.
This is me, you chose me.
I am the one who tramples beauty.
That's who I am, a rag doll.
One of many in the eye of the storm.
Don't get angry, that flower was a balloon.
One of those who pierce a gentleman.
And winning, winning, winning is not the destination.
And I had to tell you, but tell you straight away.
You can't remake your heart like you remake your lips. And you called me a taxi, an ambulance arrived.
You told me that you discovered that you can cry even at ninety.
And so there is no limit.
I can still shout it to you: "I love you, you're strange".
You smile again.
That's what interested me.
