Tsunami Lyrics in English Annalisa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tsunami by Annalisa from Italian to English.
Tell me who invented that story
That it's better to go slow
Better to wait
When something scares you
Better not to risk it
Next stop
For every time I wait
I don't say what I think
A bit of me
Gets lost
I don't wanna stay on the sand
I wanna be a wave and turn to foam
And if one summer really changes us
If I'm better or worse now I don't know
If we're the white in a black sky
They said it'll clear up
What will we eat tonight?
Between a message I didn't send you
And your half-finished lines
They're written on my back
One wave is enough to erase them and then they turn to foam
For all the times I'd like to reach you
From a wingbeat, tsunami
I tear another page
I look for my Africa
If you don't call me back tomorrow
Tsunami
And I wanna fight with your look
Come back with scratches and dirty hands
You're in the words I get wrong
In the games I lose
In all this time
I don't wanna stay on the sand
I wanna be the wave and then become foam
And if one summer really changes us
If I'm better or worse now I don't know
If we're the white in a black sky
They said it'll clear up
What will we eat tonight?
Between a message I didn't send you
And your half-finished lines
They're written on my back
One wave is enough to erase them and then they turn to foam
For all the times I'd like to reach you
From a wingbeat, tsunami
I tear another page
I look for my Africa
We can go there tomorrow
From a wingbeat
Tsunami
What will we eat tonight?
Between a message I didn't send you
And your half-finished lines
I've run out of them on my back
Just one wave is enough to erase them
And then they turn to foam
For all the times I'd like to reach you
From a wingbeat tsunami
I tear another page
I look for my Africa
Anyway we'll see each other tomorrow
Outro
Tsunami
You love me

SONG MEANING

Annalisa’s “Tsunami” is a salty breath of freedom and recklessness. The singer is tired of standing safely on the shore; she wants to dive into life’s surf, crash, dissolve into foam, and risk losing pieces of herself in the process. Every unsent text, every half-spoken phrase weighs on her like letters written on her back, waiting for a single wave to wash them away. The song turns summer into a turning point, asking if sunshine can really change us, if we become brighter or darker when storms roll in.

Love and self-discovery swirl together like currents in a restless sea. Annalisa frames the relationship as a force as powerful as a tsunami—one heartbeat can launch it, one heartbeat can destroy it. She dreams of ripping out another diary page, searching for her Africa, a metaphor for wild, uncharted happiness. Between playful questions (What will we eat tonight?) and raw confessions (You’re in the sentences I mess up), she reminds us that adventure beats caution every time. Whether tomorrow brings calm water or towering waves, she’s ready to fight with her lover’s gaze, come back with scratched hands, and prove that real love, real living, is never afraid to get pulled under before bursting back up as glittering foam.
