Con Infinito Onore Lyrics in English by Biagio Antonacci
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Con Infinito Onore by Biagio Antonacci from Italian to English.
Con infinito onore io le scrivo due parole semplici
With infinite honor I write you two simple words
Volevo dirle che mai come adesso il motto è sopravvivere
I wanted to tell you that now more than ever the motto is to survive
La situazione del mio essere è cosi frenetica
The situation of my being is so frantic
Che non pensavo diventasse un bene per la solitudine
That I didn't think it would become a good thing for solitude
Come un servo schivo ma schiavo
Like a shy but enslaved servant
Faccio politica
I play politics
Faccio politica
I play politics
Come un premio non meritato
Like an undeserved prize
Non ho valore
I have no value
Non ho valore
I have no value
Con infinito onore io le chiedo se morire spiega
With infinite honor I ask you if dying explains
E quanto ancora pagheremo il prezzo della gratitudine
And how much more will we pay the price of gratitude
Con infinito onore le confesso che mi sento plastico
With infinite honor I confess to you that I feel plastic
Ed è per questo che ho imparato a vivere fantasticandomi
And that's why I learned to live by fantasizing about myself
Pago un pizzo organizzato
I pay an organized protection racket
E mi proteggono
And they protect me
E mi proteggono
And they protect me
Pago un prezzo troppo scontato
I pay a price that's too discounted
Me lo permettono
They allow me to
Me lo permettono
They allow me to
Cosa posso fare
What can I do
Per essere diverso?
To be different?
Ho raccolto le fragole
I picked the strawberries
Nel deserto più arido
In the most arid desert
Sono stato il più grande re
I was the greatest king
E non avevo più regole
And I had no more rules
Con infinito onore le domando se morire merita
With infinite honor I ask you if dying is worth it
E se l'immagine del nuovo santo porta beatitudine
And if the image of the new saint brings beatitude
Con infinito onore io le chiedo bisogna sempre dire
With infinite honor I ask you if one must always say
Sempre la verità, la verità che è la bugia più grande
Always the truth, the truth that is the biggest lie
Come un servo schivo ma schiavo
Like a shy but enslaved servant
Faccio politica
I play politics
Faccio politica
I play politics
Come un premio non meritato
Like an undeserved prize
Non ho valore
I have no value
Non ho valore
I have no value
Pago il pizzo organizzato
I pay the organized protection racket
E mi proteggono
And they protect me
E mi proteggono
And they protect me
Pago un prezzo troppo scontato
I pay a price that's too discounted
Me lo permettono
They allow me to
Me lo permettono
They allow me to

Did you like this lyrics translation?
fantasticandomi — fantasizing about myself
Fantasticandomi is a fascinating and somewhat rare word, a gerund form of the verb fantasticarsi, which means 'to fantasize about oneself' or 'to imagine oneself in a particular way'. It's not a common everyday verb, making it stand out.
In the song, the line "Ed è per questo che ho imparato a vivere fantasticandomi" translates to "And that's why I've learned to live by fantasizing about myself." It suggests a coping mechanism where the singer creates an imagined reality or identity for himself, perhaps to escape a difficult or 'plastic' existence. This introspective and slightly melancholic usage makes it a very engaging word.
