Melodrama Lyrics in English Angelina Mango

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Melodrama by Angelina Mango from Italian to English.
I still feel a lump in my throat
My land won't let me go
Maybe I should go back to school
Fix my broken voice
A lady leaning on the window
She talks to me about summer, she complains
What a struggle
I've always been a clumsy girl
Lagonegro in the woods chasing adrenaline
Stuck in the mouth of the hourglass
Time doesn't touch me, but self-esteem
Chokes me, my skin can't breathe
It's a thorn
Now
You knew I was a bit messed up
Sorry if I give my worst
It'll pass later
God can't see us, but you
You keep me calm
And I'll follow you where the sea crashes into the south wind
I want
A melodrama life
A gypsy life
Mess up later, learn first
Melodrama melodrama
Doesn't want gala nights
A drama queen in the room
I want nights with no makeup
Melodrama, less drama
The courtyard was beautiful
Suffering was beautiful
With shoulders that burn
Hold me again
Before you
I wanted to go to Holland
Run away
To become someone else
Thank goodness that now
I can't live without you anymore
And that face you make
But what a face you've got
Now
You knew I was a bit messed up
Sorry if I give my worst
It'll pass later
God doesn't want us, but you
You don't know what it's about
And I'll follow you where the sea crashes into the south wind
I want
A melodrama life
A gypsy life
Mess up later, learn first
Melodrama melodrama
Doesn't want gala nights
A drama queen in the room
I want nights with no makeup
Melodrama, less drama
Melodrama
Less drama
Now
You knew I was a bit messed up
Sorry if I give my worst
It'll pass later
God doesn't want us, but you
You don't know what it's about
And I'll follow you where the sea clashes
Outro
With the south wind
And I'll follow you where the sea clashes
With the south wind

SONG MEANING

Angelina Mango invites us on a roller-coaster ride of emotions in “Melodrama,” a song that feels like paging through her personal diary. We meet a young woman caught between the pull of her small-town roots and an irrepressible hunger for adventure. She struggles with self-doubt, a “nodo in gola” that tightens whenever nostalgia or insecurity strikes, yet her spirit refuses to be pinned down. In vivid snapshots—chatting with a neighbor at the window, hunting for adrenaline in the woods of Lagonegro, dreaming of escaping to Holland—Angelina confesses her clumsiness, anxiety, and the way time can feel stuck “nella bocca della clessidra.” But even when her confidence suffocates her skin, she finds calm in someone who accepts her messy side and makes her feel seen.

The chorus bursts like confetti: she wants “una vita melodrama,” a life that is colorful, gypsy-like, raw, and unapologetically real. No red-carpet galas, no polished façades—just makeup-free nights, mistakes that become lessons, and a love strong enough to follow “dove il mare si scontra col vento del sud.” The song is both a confession and a manifesto: embrace the chaos, own the drama, and let authenticity drown out the fear. Angelina’s Italian roots flavor every line, turning her personal journey into an anthem for anyone who craves freedom, intimacy, and a little beautiful mess.
