Piuma Lyrics in English Alessandra Amoroso

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alessandra Amoroso / Piuma

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Piuma by Alessandra Amoroso from Italian to English.

The soul's under my feet

But I've walked on them so much

Now you'd better sit down

Let's talk a bit so I won't run off

So many useless words

They look like ivory towers

I look inside my fears

I never said I hate you

But our story's burned out

You and me always away from home

I'll say goodbye to you halfway

Without looking back anymore

One of us leaves

And now look at me, look at me

How stupid we are, so stupid

We're better than this, sorry

If I forget you now

I still recognize your face

But I'll always wonder

Why a wave knows the shore

Like you know my skin

And maybe you never learn

To be happy, no, never, never

"Give me a smile," I used to say

I loved you, yeah, but now, now

I've tattooed a feather on your name

Now I've tattooed a feather on your name

A bit like you used to

I leave clothes on the bed

'Cause I don't make it anymore

You know, I prefer it messy

And our story's changed

You and me with another life

Each on their own path

Telling each other with a laugh

That the good won't end

And now look at me, look at me

How stupid we are, so stupid

We're better than this, sorry

If I forget you now

I still recognize your face

But I'll always wonder

Why a wave knows the shore

Like you know my skin

And maybe you never learn

To be happy, no, never, never

"Give me a smile," I used to say

I loved you, yeah, but now, now

I've tattooed a feather on your name

Now I've tattooed a feather on your name

Bridge

There's nothing to figure out

I try to pull out the thorns

Up in the air like bubbles, suspended

I'm so on fire now

And what I haven't said

In the end hasn't been lost

And now I forget you

I still recognize your face

But I'll always wonder

Why a wave knows the shore

Like you know my skin

And maybe you never learn

To be happy, no, never, never

"Give me a smile," I used to say

I loved you, yeah, but now, now

I've tattooed a feather on your name

Now I've tattooed a feather on your name

Outro

Now I've tattooed a feather on your name

I've tattooed a feather on your name

Now I've tattooed a feather on your name

SONG MEANING

Piuma means feather, and Alessandra Amoroso uses that light, airy image to tell a story about the exact moment when love turns from burning flame to soft memory. The singer sits her partner down, confesses that their story has “burned out,” and promises to say goodbye halfway down the road so neither of them has to look back. She admits they have been “stupid,” yet she feels no hatred, only a bittersweet curiosity: why does a wave always find the shore the same way you once found my skin? The feather tattooed over the partner’s name captures what remains – a delicate mark that hurts far less than the relationship once did.

Under the gentle symbolism, the song is a bold act of self-liberation. Alessandra leaves the bed unmade, laughs while saying the affection will not disappear, and starts pulling out “thorns” so she can float upward like bubbles. Happiness, she realizes, is a skill we never quite master, but with every step she feels lighter. Piuma is both a farewell and a fresh breath – a melodic reminder that ending a love can feel weightless when you choose to carry only a feather of the past.
