Per Ogni Matematico Lyrics in English Angelo Branduardi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Angelo Branduardi / Per Ogni Matematico

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Per Ogni Matematico by Angelo Branduardi from Italian to English.

For every mathematician

There's a sense of infinity

In hunting numbers

Already elusive on their own

There's a Pythagorean dream

That hasn't helped me

Now that

In no time

I know what 6 is for me

For every mathematician

Who's never regretted

Getting a calculation wrong

Which is serious enough in itself

A logical sense remains

That hasn't helped me

Now that

In three plus three

I know what 6 is for me

For every mathematician

Infinity ends

If to confirm the rule

It's the exception itself

But a unique case remains

That hasn't helped me

Now that

In the me plus you

I know what 6 is for me

SONG MEANING

Angelo Branduardi turns a blackboard of formulas into a love letter in "Per Ogni Matematico". The lyrics begin in the realm of scholars who chase infinity, juggle elusive numbers and cherish Pythagorean dreams. Yet a playful piece of Italian word-magic creeps in: the digit 6 sounds exactly like sei, the verb “you are”. With a wink Branduardi transforms the tidy result of 2 × 3 = 6 into a far sweeter statement — “now I know what you are for me.”

From verse to verse the singer watches pure logic crumble. Miscalculations are no longer sins, rules can be broken, even infinity gets cut short when an exception appears. All that survives the mathematical meltdown is the simplest, most human equation: io + te (me + you). The song reminds us that love is the problem no theorem can solve, and the only solution that truly counts.
