I don't need all the things

Ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta

This morning I was going to work

I thought, 'I'm not like them'

I'm a fountain pen

Ink on other people's skin

A means to make sense

To the dirty dirt on your hands

Of those who delve into mental problems

Let's go back to fine fine dust

Meanwhile, let's go back to being children

We all have distant family

Which leaves salt on us

We want to live

And fear of dying

Sometimes the opposite

Sometimes I just want to make love

I throw myself into things with my head

I'm like a stone, you're the next wave

And you are all the roads I haven't traveled

And I almost have the desire to live inside me

And it doesn't matter if I'm hungry or if I'm sleepy

Today I understood these things

I don't need it anymore

Ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta

You are all the roads I haven't traveled

Ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta

I almost have the desire to live on

I feel like the girl next to me

He's texting the guy

I can see it in his smile

And I feel like her

That she only needs his chest

under the head, a protected space

Or she wants money and sex

Of yes men, of a very large house

Of course that wouldn't be bad either

But you know not today

I would only like to have your appearance

To like me too as much as I like you, that

You are all the roads I haven't traveled

And I almost have the desire to live inside me

And it doesn't matter if I'm hungry or if I'm sleepy

Today I realized that-

What did I understand? Nothing

Ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta

You are all the roads I haven't traveled

Ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta

I almost have the desire to live on

All the roads I haven't traveled

And now I have the desire to live on

And it doesn't matter if I leave or come back

If I'm hungry or if I'm sleepy

I almost have the desire to live on

stilografica — fountain pen

Stilografica translates to "fountain pen". It's a more specific and elegant word than a simple "pen", making it stand out.

In the song, the artist uses this word to describe herself: "Sono una penna stilografica / Inchiostro sulla pelle degli altri" (I am a fountain pen / Ink on the skin of others). This metaphor suggests she is an instrument for expression, leaving a lasting mark on people's lives, which is a beautiful and thought-provoking image.

Ever felt like you don't quite fit in? In "Voglia Di Vivere," which means "Desire to Live," Angelina Mango sings about this exact feeling. She starts her day thinking, "I'm not like them," and sees herself not as a person going to a job, but as a "fountain pen," a tool to leave a mark and give meaning to others, especially those struggling. The song captures the messy, beautiful contradictions of being human: we have a "desire to live" and a "fear of dying," and sometimes, it's the other way around.

This desire for life isn't about needing things like food or sleep. Instead, it's sparked by a special person who represents "all the roads I haven't traveled." This person makes her feel an intense "desire to live" that is so powerful, basic needs don't seem important anymore. It's a song about finding your reason to embrace life fully, not in material things, but in connection and the possibilities another person can open up for you.
