You gave me the strength to stand

When the force of gravity

He kept me on the ground with my problems

You understood the gravity of it

We wear masks and dress well

You know it's all about how you look here

That everyone in the world wants to like

Lots of smiles but no tears

On a journey we start, we also continue

If your legs hurt to climb up

They call me Alfa, only a few Andre

San only the stage name

But there's much more

Of everything I write

Of what my goal is

Behind this path

You know there's much more

Of the concerts you come to

Of all my problems

I know you didn't believe it

but there is much more

You gave me the strength to look underneath

And don't be afraid anymore

To take myself and fight against the world

As if protected by armor

Everyone wants their name on the list

Or in a fashion magazine

It takes so little to praise an artist

The public judges by sight

But there's much more

Of everything I write

Of what my goal is

Behind this path

You know, there's so much more

Of the concerts you come to

Of all my problems

I know you didn't believe it

But there's much more

Time to time

Head in place with your gaze forward

Only in this way do you separate yourself from others

Only in this way will you reach your goals

Face to face, but from behind we are further away

I want to stand taller than the giants

What do I do with the leftovers

Okay! I don't want to hang by a thread anymore

I have a dream too big to think small

I would like to fly like Icarus did

But be careful of the Sun otherwise I'll fall

Look now

Dead tired from the marathon

I'm certainly not Maradona

But I'm waiting for my good ball

And I thank those who told me 'Try'

And she pushed me to try again

Character for you, not person

But there's much more

Of everything I write

Of what my goal is

Behind this path

You know, there's so much more

Of the concerts you come to

Of all my problems

I know you didn't believe it

But there's much more

precipito — I fall / I plummet

Precipito comes from the verb precipitare, meaning "to fall rapidly," "to plummet," or "to rush headlong." It's a vivid and dramatic word that evokes a sense of sudden, uncontrolled descent.

In the song, Alfa sings, "Io che vorrei volare come ha fatto Icaro / Ma stando attento al Sole ché se no precipito." He uses precipito to refer to the famous Greek myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and plummeted to his death. This word perfectly captures the tension between ambition and the danger of overreaching, making it a memorable and thought-provoking choice.

Alfa's "Tempo Al Tempo" is such an honest look at what it's like to be an artist in the public eye, and it's so relatable even if you're not! He talks about how someone gave him the strength to stay on his feet when gravity was pulling him down with his problems. It's a powerful image: "Tu mi hai dato la forza di restare in piedi / Quando la forza di gravità / Mi teneva per terra con i miei problemi" [You gave me the strength to stay on my feet / When gravity / Kept me on the ground with my problems].

He really gets into the idea that people often only see the surface. We put on masks and dress well, because "conta solo come appari qua" [only how you look matters here]. Everyone wants to be liked, with "Tanti sorrisi ma nessuna lacrima" [Many smiles but no tears]. But Alfa insists there's "molto di più" [much more] behind his writing, his goals, and even his problems, than what people see at concerts or in his public persona. He's not just "Alfa," he's Andre, and he's got big dreams, even if he has to be careful not to fly too close to the sun like Icarus. It's all about taking your time, keeping your head on straight, and looking forward to reach your goals.
