Parigi Sei Tu Lyrics in English by Biagio Antonacci
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Parigi Sei Tu by Biagio Antonacci from Italian to English.
Ci sono amori che restano in fila
There are loves that stay in line
Che sanno esserci senza aspettare
That know how to be there without waiting
Ci sono teste che senza veleno si fanno capire
There are minds that make themselves understood without venom
Ci sono bocche che fumano fiori
There are mouths that smoke flowers
Ci sono anche castelli nel mare
There are also castles in the sea
Ci sono pezzi di vetro tra i nostri capelli da ieri
There are pieces of glass in our hair since yesterday
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu quando cerchi di farti una vita tu
For me, you are Paris when you try to make a life for yourself
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu quando cerchi di farti una vita tu
For me, you are Paris when you try to make a life for yourself
Sei tu l'occasione per rendere tutto migliore
You are the chance to make everything better
E te lo dicono in tanti
And many tell you so
E te lo dicono stanchi
And they tell you, wearily
Sognando confini divisi soltanto da fiori
Dreaming of borders divided only by flowers
E non da reti pungenti
And not by barbed wire
Senza coltelli tra i denti
Without knives between their teeth
Il tuo scudo saranno i miei occhi stupidi e adoranti
Your shield will be my stupid and adoring eyes
Se sono morti non parlano più
If they're dead, they don't speak anymore
Se sono vivi non sanno ascoltare
If they're alive, they don't know how to listen
Se sono ricchi diventano come dei cani al guinzaglio tu
If they're rich, they become like dogs on a leash, you
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu quando cerchi di farti una vita tu
For me, you are Paris when you try to make a life for yourself
Sei tu l'occasione per rendere tutto migliore
You are the chance to make everything better
E te lo dicono in tanti
And many tell you so
E te lo dicono stanchi
And they tell you, wearily
Sognando confini divisi soltanto da fiori
Dreaming of borders divided only by flowers
E non da reti pungenti
And not by barbed wire
Senza coltelli tra i denti
Without knives between their teeth
Sei tu l'occasione per rendere tutto migliore
You are the chance to make everything better
E te lo dico cantando
And I tell you this singing
Te lo ridico piangendo
I tell you again, crying
Abbiamo riempito la strada per non stare soli
We filled the street not to be alone
Senza reti pungenti
Without barbed wire
Senza coltelli tra i denti
Without knives between their teeth
Il tuo scudo saranno i miei occhi stupiti e adoranti
Your shield will be my astonished and adoring eyes
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris
Per me Parigi sei tu
For me, you are Paris

Did you like this lyrics translation?
pungenti — stinging / sharp
Pungenti translates to "stinging" or "sharp". It's a vivid adjective that evokes a strong sensory image, making it more impactful than a common word.
In the song, Antonacci uses it in the phrase "reti pungenti" (stinging nets) to describe divisive barriers, contrasting them with "fiori" (flowers) that represent unity. This metaphorical use highlights the pain and separation caused by such divisions, making the word particularly poignant and memorable.
