And I'm here watching
Waves against a wall spinning
Because an emotion lasts
Only fifteen seconds
And I would like to run away
From any responsibility
Flee far away
Maybe even from her
Street brother
That I'm sure you understand me
Sometimes you brake
Why this fucking life often trembles
And here I am
Sometimes I exaggerate
I feel like
Like water in the network
Like snow in the quiet
Like the wind in the hedge
And I'm tired
Like I've never been
As I would not want
As I have never been taught
And I feel apathetic
That I don't know either
I'm almost nice
Street brother
That I'm sure you understand me
Sometimes you brake
Why this fucking life often trembles
And I wish I didn't sing anymore
Don't say anything
But from the life I had?
My job
That's what I know
Street brother
That I'm sure you understand me
Sometimes you brake
Why this fucking life often trembles
And here I am
I don't do it on purpose but I
Sometimes I exaggerate
Exaggerating

EsageroI exaggerate

Esagero means "I exaggerate" or "I overdo it." It's a very relatable word that captures a common human tendency.

In Gianluca Grignani's song, he repeatedly sings "A volte esagero" (Sometimes I exaggerate), making it the central theme. He uses it to describe his own nature, his way of living and expressing himself, even admitting that he can't help but overdo things. This makes it a key to understanding his personality in the song.

"A Volte Esagero" ("Sometimes I Exaggerate") is Gianluca Grignani's confession about carrying more feeling than a person can comfortably hold. He watches the waves break against a wall and admits that an emotion barely lasts fifteen seconds, yet he still wants to run from every responsibility, even from the person he loves.

He calls the listener his "street brother," someone he trusts to understand a tiring, uncertain life. He compares himself to water in a net, snow in the quiet, and wind through a hedge, images of a self that keeps slipping away, and admits that life often trembles under its own weight.

By the end he simply owns it. "A volte esagero" is both an apology and a shrug, a reminder that feeling things too intensely, even when it goes too far, is just how he is built.
