Verse 1
How many drawings I've made
I stay here and look at them
None come to life
This page is lazy
I'm in a hurry
And they told me that life is precious
I wear it proudly around my neck
Or: I wear it on my neck with my head held high
My necklace has no pearls of wisdom
They gave me the colored beads
Colorful beads are a sign of childish behaviour
For the messed up girls with traumas
To slowly untangle with age
Yet I'm calm, look, zero dramas
Or: Yet, I'm calm / happy like on Easter
Almost almost changing cities again
Because staying still makes me
It brings me
Lit: It comes to me
The boredom
The boredom
Prechorus 1
I die without dying
In these worn-out days
I live without suffering
There's no greater cross
Or: There is no greater burden
All that's left is to laugh
In these burnt nights
A crown of thorns
Will be the dress-code for my party
Chorus 1
It's the cumbia of boredom
It's the cumbia of total boredom
Cumbia refers to a number of musical rhythms and folk dance traditions of Latin America, said to have come from funeral traditions, and often associated with painful occasions
It's the cumbia of boredom
It's the cumbia of total boredom
Verse 2
How many people see the evil in things
It makes you want to run away as they start talking
And I'd like to tell them that I'm fine but then they look at me badly
So I say that it's difficult to get by
Business, you talk about business
Meanwhile, I close my eyes to sign contracts
Princess, he calls you princess
So now stop washing the dishes
Prechorus 2
I die without dying
In these worn-out days
I live without suffering
There's no greater cross
All that's left is to laugh
In these burnt nights
A crown of thorns
Will be the dress-code for my party
Chorus 2
It's the cumbia of boredom
It's the cumbia of total boredom
It's the cumbia of boredom
It's the cumbia of total boredom
Verse 3
So you write songs?
Yes, songs about love
And I don't want to bore you
But someone has to sing them
Cumbia, I dance cumbia
If I risk stumbling, at least I stop the boredom
So I have a party, I have a party
Because it's the only way to stop
The boredom
Prechorus 3
I die because dying
It makes the days more human
I live because to suffer
It makes the joy greater
All that's left is to laugh
In these burnt nights
A crown of thorns
Will be the dress-code for my party
Chorus 3
It's the cumbia of boredom
It's the cumbia of total boredom
It's the cumbia of boredom
It's the cumbia of total boredom

SONG MEANING

“La Noia” (“Boredom”) turns a familiar feeling into a dancefloor confession. Angelina Mango paints the picture of a restless mind: unfinished sketches stare back from the page, colored beads replace pearls of wisdom, and standing still feels like a slow death. She pokes fun at society’s clichés—business talk, empty compliments, the pressure to always feel “precious”—while admitting that her biggest enemy is the dull ache of routine. Yet instead of sinking into gloom, she crowns herself with metaphorical thorns, cranks up a cumbia rhythm, and throws a party just to keep that boredom at bay.

The song is both a cry and a celebration. Mango repeats “muoio senza morire” (“I die without dying”) to capture how numbing monotony can feel, then flips it on its head: if suffering makes joy sweeter, why not laugh, dance, and risk stumbling? “La Noia” invites listeners to wear their struggles like bold accessories, turn existential ennui into a beat you can’t ignore, and discover that sometimes the only real antidote to boredom is turning up the music and moving anyway.
