Buongiorno Vita Lyrics in English Ultimo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ultimo / Buongiorno Vita

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Buongiorno Vita by Ultimo from Italian to English.

Good morning, life, you're waiting for me

I've got everything ready, will you come this way

Come on, can't you see I'm losing myself

It's not normal, even at my age

I want to hear you, give me an answer

'Cause I feel it and it gets inside me

For you, life, I'm holding out

Because I don't believe, yet God is here

I'll hug you

So you can't walk away

Don't tell me no

I'd still know how to love you even just as an idea

In those moments always remember that summer will come

And if you don't feel the heat

It's 'cause you've already got it inside

Good morning, world, what do you want me to say

From you I've only ever looked for escape

Sometimes I listen to a leaf falling

And the concrete that knows how to wait for it

How the sun rests when it's winter

With the cold on you, you're waiting for it

You discover yourself when it's spring

Because there's a flower and it wasn't here before

And I'll hug you

So you can't walk away

Don't tell me no

I'd still know how to love you even just as an idea

In those moments always remember

That summer will come

And if you don't feel the heat

It's 'cause you've already got it inside

When I was fifteen I went to the park with my headphones

Now I'm twenty-five and I go to the park with my headphones

I like starting again from where I began

To be exactly the same as the memory of me as a kid

My dad told me, wake up and find yourself a good job

I actually looked for it but then I lost who I am

I sat at the piano and made a blood pact

To win I'll have music

For her I shrug my shoulders

I will hug you

So you can't walk away

Don't tell me no

I'd still know how to love you even just as an idea

In those moments always remember

That summer will come

And if you don't feel the heat

It's 'cause you've already got it inside

So don't ever be disappointed in yourself

Because even the sea takes a rest

And when it's calm that's when you'll enjoy it

SONG MEANING

Imagine waking up, flinging open the window, and greeting the day with a loud "Buongiorno, vita!"—that is exactly what Italian singer-songwriter Ultimo does in this track. He sings to Life as if it were a shy friend lurking outside the door, begging it to come in, explain itself, and stay for good. The lyrics slip through vivid scenes: a falling leaf that even concrete makes room for, the sun patiently waiting out winter, and the promise that summer will always return. Behind every image lies a simple reminder—warmth, hope, and answers are already inside us if we dare to listen.

Ultimo then brings the spotlight back to his own story, headphones on in the park at fifteen and again at twenty-five, refusing to abandon the child he once was. Despite parental pressure to get a "real" job, he chooses a blood-pact with music, trusting it to carry him through self-doubt and changing seasons. The chorus resolves in an embrace: wherever you stand, do not be disappointed in yourself because even the sea rests. "Buongiorno Vita" is therefore both a personal diary and a universal pep-talk, urging listeners to hug life tightly, feel the summer inside, and march forward with the same fearless curiosity they had as kids.
