Il Campione Lyrics in English by Biagio Antonacci
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Campione by Biagio Antonacci from Italian to English.
Il campione corre, vola supera le stelle vola
The champion runs, flies, surpasses the stars, flies
E non sentiamo il rumore
And we don't hear the noise
Il campione non ha mai paura di non farcela
The champion is never afraid of not making it
E lo guardiamo passare
And we watch him pass by
Il suo coraggio, fantasia e lucidità
His courage, imagination, and clarity
Il sorpasso con un un colpo di magia
The overtake with a stroke of magic
Io mi emoziono nel vederlo salutare e festeggiare
I get emotional seeing him wave and celebrate
E piangere di fronte alla vittoria
And cry in front of victory
Il campione sa ascoltare il suo cuore e quello del motore
The champion knows how to listen to his heart and the engine's
Insieme come gli amanti
Together like lovers
Un angelo col casco nero che su due ruote riuscirebbe
An angel with a black helmet who on two wheels would manage
A fare il giro del cielo
To circle the sky
Dalla sua bocca non è uscito quello che
What came out of his mouth isn't what
Ho letto oggi sui giornali
I read today in the newspapers
Sparano sulla sua vita, sul suo modo di pensare
They attack his life, his way of thinking
Ma poi lui vince' è il più grande'
But then he wins, "he's the greatest"
Il giro del cielo col tempo migliore
The lap of the sky with the best time
In mezzo alle stelle si parla anche di te
Among the stars they also talk about you
Senti la gioia che parte da te
You feel the joy that comes from you
E ti chiedi ogni volta
And you ask yourself every time
'Perchè questo mio dio l'hai regalato a me'
"Why did you give this god of mine to me"
Il campione ferma il tempo da un colore ai nostri anni
The champion stops time, gives color to our years
Che a fatica, sentiamo passare
Which we barely feel pass by
Il campione è come il sole
The champion is like the sun
Può tramontare, ma ci lascia
It can set, but leaves us
Una luce nel cuore
A light in our hearts
Ogni tanto quando smetto di girare
Every now and then when I stop racing
Mi viene forse un po' paura
Maybe I get a little scared
Poi guardo le stelle e le vedo così limpide e vicine
Then I look at the stars and see them so clear and close
Le tocco, chiudo gli occhi e poi riparto riparto
I touch them, close my eyes, and then I start again, I start again

Did you like this lyrics translation?
lucidità — lucidity / clarity
Lucidità translates to "lucidity" or "clarity." It's a sophisticated word that goes beyond simple understanding, implying a sharp, clear mental state.
In "Il Campione," the word is used to describe the champion's essential qualities: "Il suo coraggio, fantasia e lucidità" (His courage, imagination, and lucidity). It highlights the mental sharpness and clear-headedness required for a champion to perform at their best, making it an intriguing and less common choice than more basic synonyms.
