Anche Fragile Lyrics in English Elisa

Home / Lyrics translation / Elisa / Anche Fragile

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Anche Fragile by Elisa from Italian to English.

Hold me up when I'm about to fall

Just sit here, talk to me again

If I'm lost for words I never ask you

But take me to the sea, to dance

Don't trust

You know, when I tell you everything's fine like this

And forgive me, I'm strong, yeah

But then I'm also fragile

Nothing special is needed

Just get back to thinking everything's beautiful and special

Nobody ever says it, but I want to commit

To saving a piece of heart

I don't live without dreams, and you know that's true

And forgive me if I'm strong, yeah

And if then I'm also fragile

Come here but bring your eyes and your heart

I'll bring you an ice cream you can't eat

And let's cry together, since you never cry

Never, and don't hide

With jokes, don't push me away

Instead tell me what you'd like to do

And let's laugh together, 'cause we always laugh

Always, always, but it's never enough, never

I can't see a boundary

You know I don't like putting a limit, a name on things

You find it dangerous and don't know how to take me, you say

"I don't know if I believe you"

Without all this hurry would you really love me?

Would you really look for me?

The strong one, yeah, but also the fragile one

Come here, but bring your eyes and your heart too

I know how to disobey, you know that well

And let's cry together, since you never cry

Never, and don't hide

With jokes, don't distract me

Let's see where we can get

And let's laugh together, 'cause we always laugh

Always, always, but it's never enough

Never, never, never

Come here, but bring your eyes and your heart too

I'll bring you an ice cream you can't eat

And let's cry together, since you never cry

Never, and don't hide

With jokes, don't distract me

Let's see where we can get

And let's laugh together, 'cause we always laugh

Always, always, but it's never enough

Never, never, never

disobbedire — to disobey

Disobbedire means "to disobey". It's a less common verb in everyday conversation and stands out in a song about vulnerability and connection.

In the lyrics, Elisa sings, "Io so disobbedire, questo lo sai bene" (I know how to disobey, you know this well). This line reveals a defiant and independent streak, suggesting she's not afraid to break rules or go against expectations, even while admitting her fragility. It adds a layer of complexity to her character, making it an intriguing word choice.

Anche Fragile ("Also Fragile") finds Portuguese singer-songwriter Elisa pulling back the curtain on her toughest facade and asking for genuine, heartfelt connection. In the lyrics she admits, "sono forte, sì / ma poi sono anche fragile" — I am strong, yes, but then I’m also fragile. She pleads for simple moments that steady her when she is about to fall: sitting together and talking, dancing by the sea, sharing a forbidden ice cream. These snapshots reveal her belief that love is not built on grand gestures but on seeing each other with both eyes and heart, laughing together, and even shedding tears side by side.

At its core the song is a tender reminder that true intimacy means accepting contradictions. Elisa celebrates dreams without borders, rejects rigid labels, and invites her partner to explore how far they can go together. By openly acknowledging vulnerability, she turns it into a source of strength, showing learners that embracing every layer of oneself — the brave and the breakable — is what makes life “bello e speciale,” beautiful and special.
