La Mia Ragazza Mena Lyrics in English by Articolo 31
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mia Ragazza Mena by Articolo 31 from Italian to English.
La mia ragazza si crede un fuscello, una piuma
My girlfriend thinks she's a twig, a feather
Ma fa paura quant'è dura e forte
But it's scary how tough and strong she is
Ha una cintura nera con le borchie
She has a black belt with studs
E non mi chiede la fede, un castello o la luna
And she doesn't ask me for a ring, a castle, or the moon
Lei balla tutta notte poi la mattina morde
She dances all night then in the morning she bites
Si mette i miei boxer e offre
She puts on my boxers and offers
Cene precotte, bibite bollenti, bottiglie a cui toglie
Pre-cooked dinners, boiling drinks, bottles from which she removes
Tappi con i denti, non m'inganna mai
Caps with her teeth, she never deceives me
Non va a nanna, mai mangia panna spray
She doesn't go to bed, she never eats whipped cream
La mia ragazza è strana
My girlfriend is strange
Non dice che mi ama
She doesn't say she loves me
Ma beve birra e fuma
But she drinks beer and smokes
Ha un tatoo sulla schiena
She has a tattoo on her back
La mia ragazza mena
My girlfriend hits
La mia ragazza se piange non è mai per ricatto
My girlfriend, if she cries, it's never for blackmail
Non cucina in cucina, mi cucina nel letto
She doesn't cook in the kitchen, she cooks me in bed
E si mette la notte gli occhiali da sole
And at night she puts on sunglasses
E si mette a gridare contro il telegiornale
And she starts shouting at the news
Il rock la sveglia con le boy-band sbadiglia
Rock wakes her up, with boy bands she yawns
Ama il punk da skate, la drum'n bass
She loves skate punk, drum'n bass
Ma è il rap che la ripiglia
But it's rap that gets her going again
E scatta quando vedi che si arrabbia
And she snaps when you see she gets angry
Scappa, quella donna sembra acqua ma è grappa
Run, that woman seems like water but she's grappa
È un litro di nitro con la miccia corta
She's a liter of nitro with a short fuse
La faccina pulita e la fedina penale sporca
A clean face and a dirty criminal record
La mia ragazza è strana
My girlfriend is strange
Non dice che mi ama
She doesn't say she loves me
Ma beve birra e fuma
But she drinks beer and smokes
Ha un tatoo sulla schiena
She has a tattoo on her back
La mia ragazza mena
My girlfriend hits
La mia ragazza è strana
My girlfriend is strange
Non dice che mi ama
She doesn't say she loves me
Però quand'ho un problema
But when I have a problem
Lei è qui vicina
She's right here close
La mia ragazza mena
My girlfriend hits
Una mia ex mi chiamava, le ha incendiato la casa
An ex of mine called me, she burned down her house
Ci ho fatto la lotta, ho una costola rotta
I fought with her, I have a broken rib
Thai-box karate judo
Thai-box karate judo
Colpi al fusto manate a viso nudo
Blows to the body, slaps to the bare face
Ma a lei le faccio sesso quando non mi rado e sudo
But I have s*x with her when I don't shave and I sweat
E sono cotto cotto perché a lei piaccio crudo
And I'm totally smitten because she likes me raw
Quando la guardo tutto ha più senso
When I look at her everything makes more sense
Il mondo sembra meno cattivo
The world seems less bad
È benzina sul fuoco
She's gasoline on the fire
È perfetta davvero
She's truly perfect
Anche se ho un occhio nero
Even if I have a black eye
Scusate
Sorry
La mia ragazza è strana
My girlfriend is strange
Non dice che mi ama
She doesn't say she loves me
Ma beve birra e fuma
But she drinks beer and smokes
Ha un tatoo sulla schiena
She has a tattoo on her back
La mia ragazza mena
My girlfriend hits
La mia ragazza è strana
My girlfriend is strange
Non dice che mi ama
She doesn't say she loves me
Però quand'ho un problema
But when I have a problem
Lei è qui vicina
She's right here close
La mia ragazza mena
My girlfriend hits

mena — beats up / hits
Mena is a colloquial and somewhat aggressive verb form of menare, which means "to beat up" or "to hit". It's a striking word because it immediately sets a provocative and unusual tone for a love song.
In the context of "La mia ragazza mena", it's used to describe a girlfriend who is tough, strong, and even physically assertive, challenging traditional gender roles and expectations in a relationship. This unexpected portrayal makes the word memorable and central to the song's unique narrative.
