La Notte Lyrics in English Modà

Home / Lyrics translation / Modà / La Notte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Notte by Modà from Italian to English.

Yeah, she may be mysterious and dark

When she wants she's scary

But she hugs you and defends you if you listen to her

If you hide and search inside her for strength

To move forward and not betray her with the sun and its rays

She shields me from insults and gossip

That just try to hurt me and discredit me

She lets me go even if I screw up and hurt myself

Without insulting me

Not like you who instead

Erased everything in a second

And inside you only the worst remained

For a mistake and a moment when I felt alone

Without courage

But at night I know you think of me, love

In the dark you always reach for my hands

No, don't pretend you're already fine

You can't forget all of a sudden

Something so deep and intense

Or at least that's what I think

I say I can, then I lose myself

And I fall back into moments of despair

When around me everything's as dark as

The night, the blows

The abandoned wounds

Never treated, still open

To err is human, but for you one mistake is everything

I'm just a rogue and a violent guy

For once I try to listen to my heart

And not my pride

But at night I know you think of me, love

In the dark you always reach for my hands

No, don't pretend you're already fine

You can't forget all of a sudden

Something so deep and intense

Or at least that's what I think

But at night I know you think of me, love

In the dark you always reach for my hands

No, don't pretend you're already fine

You can't forget all of a sudden

Something so deep and intense

Or at least that's what I think

malelingue — gossip / slanderers

Malelingue literally translates to "bad tongues" but is used to mean gossip or slanderers. It's a vivid and somewhat informal compound word that you don't encounter every day.

In the song, the artist sings about the night covering him "dagli insulti e delle malelingue" (from the insults and the slanderers), highlighting how the darkness protects him from those who speak ill of him. This word adds a unique flavor to the lyrics, painting a clear picture of the negativity the singer faces.

La Notte turns darkness into a loyal friend. Instead of being a place to fear, night becomes a warm cloak that hushes gossip, forgives mistakes and lets the singer lick his wounds in peace. When daylight feels harsh and judgmental, the shadows feel soft and protective – a secret hideout where he can rebuild his courage.

Yet beneath this cozy midnight blanket lies a broken heart. The singer’s lover has tossed their love aside for one brief misstep, calling him a malandrino and a brute. He apologizes, but she shuts the door. Still, he is sure that in the quiet hours her thoughts drift back to him and to everything “so deep and intense” they once shared. The song hovers between regret and hope, showing how night often shines a spotlight on feelings we try to ignore in the sun.
