I Romantici Lyrics in English by Tommaso Paradiso

Malinconici translates to "melancholy" or "sad". It's a beautiful and evocative word that describes a pensive sadness, often with a touch of wistfulness.

In the song, Tommaso Paradiso sings, "Una musica dolce per i tuoi giorni malinconici" (A sweet music for your melancholy days). This word perfectly captures the tender and nostalgic mood of the song, offering comfort and understanding through music during sad times.

Tommaso Paradiso builds this one out of small domestic evidence rather than grand declarations. The narrator wakes up "sotto la pioggia che cade" (under the falling rain), looks at the woman beside him, and admits he cannot work out why she stays with a man who "di notte accende la televisione" (turns the television on at night) and watches the same film at full volume. The promises he offers back are just as small and just as specific: "Ti darò sempre un bacio prima di partire" (I will always give you a kiss before I leave), and "Se fumo, faccio la doccia prima di dormire" (if I smoke, I shower before going to sleep). He is not trying to become a better man in the abstract. He is trying not to be his father, who the song dismisses in a single word: "Gelido" (Ice cold).

The chorus scales that up without losing the everyday detail. He wants a piano in his pocket, he wears his heart on his jacket, and he sets the title against a picture of something leaving: "I romantici guardano il cielo / I romantici guardano un treno / Che se ne va" (Romantics look up at the sky / romantics watch a train / as it pulls away). The bridge moves it to a courtyard where boys once kicked a ball against the wall and "adesso non c'è nessuno" (now there is nobody there). The romantics keep looking up anyway: "E ci credono davvero" (And they really do believe).
