Piove Lyrics in English by Alex Britti

Home / Lyrics translation / Alex Britti / Piove

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Piove by Alex Britti from Italian to English.

Piove

It rains

Sui monti e sulle scale

On the mountains and on the stairs

Su petali e parole

On petals and words

Sul cuore mio che batte

On my beating heart

Piove sui poveri soldati

It rains on the poor soldiers

Sui campi abbandonati e sulla mia città

On the abandoned fields and on my city

Piove

It rains

E mentre guardo il mare

And while I look at the sea

Ripenso alle parole

I think back to the words

Che mi hai lasciato scritte

That you left written for me

Provo

I try

Un po' a dimenticare

A bit to forget

Infatti guardo il mare e non ci penso più

In fact, I look at the sea and don't think about it anymore

Agosto sembra ormai lontano

August seems far away now

Ma io sono vicino

But I'm close

A dove ti incontravo

To where I used to meet you

Semplice vestita in modo semplice

Simple, dressed in a simple way

Sei diventata complice e non ti scordo più

You became an accomplice and I don't forget you anymore

Piove

It rains

Adesso come prima sto nella mia cucina

Now, like before, I'm in my kitchen

Che mi preparo un pesce

As I prepare a fish

Cuoce lentamente il sugo

The sauce cooks slowly

E nel frattempo annego

And in the meantime, I drown

E non ci penso più

And I don't think about it anymore

Agosto è ancora nei miei sensi

August is still in my senses

Ma tu cosa ne pensi

But what do you think?

Mi vuoi ancora bene

Do you still love me?

Indice di una vita semplice

A sign of a simple life

Sei diventata complice ma non ti fidi più

You became an accomplice but you don't trust anymore

Chissà dove sarai adesso

Who knows where you are now

Dov'è tutto quel sesso

Where is all that sex?

Quel caldo, quel sudore

That heat, that sweat

Chissà se ancora pensi al mare

Who knows if you still think about the sea

Al caldo da morire

About the scorching heat

Che non si sente più

That can't be felt anymore

Chissà se agosto è ancora nostro

Who knows if August is still ours

Se ancora splende il sole

If the sun still shines

O poi magari piove

Or maybe it rains later

Chissà se mai la frustrazione

Who knows if frustration ever

Diventa un'emozione

Becomes an emotion

Così non piove più

So it doesn't rain anymore

Piove

It rains

Sui banchi della scuola

On the school desks

Su ogni mia parola che non riesco a dire

On every word of mine that I can't say

Provo un pò a dimenticare

I try a bit to forget

Infatti guardo il mare

In fact, I look at the sea

E non ci penso più

And I don't think about it anymore

Did you like this lyrics translation?

frustrazione — frustration

Frustrazione translates directly to "frustration." While the English equivalent is common, the Italian word itself is quite evocative and less frequently found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the song, Alex Britti poses a poignant question: "Chissà se mai la frustrazione Diventa un'emozione Così non piove più" (Who knows if frustration ever Becomes an emotion So it doesn't rain anymore). This line transforms a common feeling into a philosophical inquiry, suggesting that perhaps by processing or transforming our frustrations, we can find a sense of peace or resolution, metaphorically stopping the
