Le Ragazze Stanno Bene Lyrics in English by Vasco Brondi, Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica

Home / Lyrics translation / Vasco Brondi / Le Ragazze Stanno Bene

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Ragazze Stanno Bene by Vasco Brondi from Italian to English.

Midnight and passers-by keep their distance

Chiara waits with the hazard lights on

Sara waits to fall, setting the sky ablaze like a meteorite

And she thinks, you're prettier now as you wither

You're like the ocean floors that will remain unknown

Back from your four-year trips

And she thinks, look, here are all my weak points

Look at me, I leave blank spaces behind

Maybe it was about accepting life as a party

Like she saw in some places in Africa

Maybe it's about facing what's coming

Like a gorgeous odyssey nobody will remember

Despite the steady stream of people without work, of

I buy gold, I buy gold

Breathing slowly, Chiara celebrates the feeling

Of spring finally on its way

And of her train on platform one

And she thinks, Sara, you're even prettier at night when you're exhausted

You're still in my inner memory

You're the interpretation of dreams I can't recall

And maybe it was about forgetting everything like in a post-war time

And getting up to dance outside the bars

Like she saw in some spots of the ex-Yugoslavia

Maybe it's about making what's next

With fragile and precious materials, without knowing how to

But then Sara was thinking of other faces

Of kids who died in Caserta

Still about dream interpretation, about background noises

And the magic of everything being nonsense

And now from their astronomical observatory

On a fire escape

Chiara told her she's clean, she's quit

And there's no alternative to the future

They go back home and once inside they feel amazing

The noises and voices from the other apartments

But it's all perfect, it's all perfect

And maybe it was about accepting life as a party

Like she saw in some places in Africa

Maybe it's about facing what's coming

Like a gorgeous odyssey nobody will remember

And maybe it was about forgetting everything like in a post-war time

And getting up to dance outside the bars

Like she saw in some spots in the ex-Yugoslavia

Maybe it's about making what's next

With fragile and precious materials, without knowing how to

Eternal Father, you're so reactionary

Who, through the window while landing, sees Venice from above

You saw theirs wasn't such a different love after all

dopoguerra — post-war period

Dopoguerra literally translates to "post-war period." It's a less common word in everyday conversation and especially in song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the context of the song, it's used metaphorically: "Forse si trattava di dimenticare tutto come in un dopoguerra" (Perhaps it was about forgetting everything like in a post-war period). This evokes a sense of starting anew after a difficult time, suggesting a profound reset or a need to move past past struggles, much like a society rebuilds after a war.

Midnight, two scooters blinking on the curb, and Chiara and Sara are caught halfway between fatigue and adventure. Vasco Brondi paints them like falling stars that still manage to light up the sky: fragile, a little bruised, yet dazzling in their imperfection. As they talk about quitting bad habits and boarding night-trains, the city hums with pawn-shops, empty jobs, and other reminders that reality can bite. Against this backdrop the girls discover tiny pockets of magic – the first breath of spring, far-off memories of African street parties, and the thrill of dancing outside a war-scarred Balkan bar. Every image whispers the same refrain: you are more beautiful right now, even while you fade.

In the chorus, Brondi turns that private moment into a universal mantra: accept life like it is a party, face the future like an unforgettable odyssey, and build tomorrow from “fragile and precious materials.” The song says that even when the world feels random and senseless, the simple decision to keep moving, keep dreaming, and keep celebrating can be revolutionary. “Le Ragazze Stanno Bene” is a poetic hug to anyone who has ever felt lost at 12 a.m. It reminds us that hope lives in the cracks, in shared balconies, in squeaky apartment noises – and that, yes, the girls (and the rest of us) are going to be just fine.
