Verse 1

How many drawings I've made

I stay here and look at them

None come to life

This page is lazy

I'm in a hurry

And they told me that life is precious

I wear it proudly around my neck

Or: I wear it on my neck with my head held high

My necklace has no pearls of wisdom

They gave me the colored beads

Colorful beads are a sign of childish behaviour

For the messed up girls with traumas

To slowly untangle with age

Yet I'm calm, look, zero dramas

Or: Yet, I'm calm / happy like on Easter

Almost almost changing cities again

Because staying still makes me

It brings me

Lit: It comes to me

The boredom

Prechorus 1

I die without dying

In these worn-out days

I live without suffering

There's no greater cross

Or: There is no greater burden

All that's left is to laugh

In these burnt nights

A crown of thorns

Will be the dress-code for my party

Chorus 1

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

Cumbia refers to a number of musical rhythms and folk dance traditions of Latin America, said to have come from funeral traditions, and often associated with painful occasions

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

Verse 2

How many people see the evil in things

It makes you want to run away as they start talking

And I'd like to tell them that I'm fine but then they look at me badly

So I say that it's difficult to get by

Business, you talk about business

Meanwhile, I close my eyes to sign contracts

Princess, he calls you princess

So now stop washing the dishes

Prechorus 2

I die without dying

In these worn-out days

I live without suffering

There's no greater cross

All that's left is to laugh

In these burnt nights

A crown of thorns

Will be the dress-code for my party

Chorus 2

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

Verse 3

So you write songs?

Yes, songs about love

And I don't want to bore you

But someone has to sing them

Cumbia, I dance cumbia

If I risk stumbling, at least I stop the boredom

So I have a party, I have a party

Because it's the only way to stop

The boredom

Prechorus 3

I die because dying

It makes the days more human

I live because to suffer

It makes the joy greater

All that's left is to laugh

In these burnt nights

A crown of thorns

Will be the dress-code for my party

Chorus 3

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

It's the cumbia of boredom

It's the cumbia of total boredom

incasinate — messy / chaotic

Incasinate is a colloquial term meaning "messy" or "chaotic". It comes from the word casino (a mess, not a gambling casino!), and it's a very expressive way to describe complicated people or situations.

In the song, Angelina Mango sings of "bimbe incasinate con i traumi" (messy girls with traumas). She uses this word to capture the feeling of being young and tangled up in complex problems that need to be unraveled over time. It’s a powerful and relatable word for anyone navigating the beautiful chaos of life.

Angelina Mango's "La Noia" is a super clever song that turns boredom into a party. She starts by describing a feeling of being stuck, where her drawings won't come to life and the page is lazy: Questa pagina è pigra (This page is lazy). She feels this deep restlessness, this noia (boredom), and her solution is to keep moving, even thinking, Quasi quasi cambio di nuovo città (I might just move to a new city again).

But this isn't just about being bored. She sees boredom as a kind of living death, singing Muoio senza morire (I die without dying). For her, a life without strong feelings, even painful ones, is the worst thing possible. So what does she do? She throws a party! She decides to embrace the difficult parts of life, making a corona di spine (a crown of thorns) the dress code. By setting these feelings to an upbeat Cumbia rhythm, she transforms her anxiety and boredom into something you can dance to, which is her way to fight back and feel alive.
