Senza Un Nome Lyrics in English by Biagio Antonacci
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Senza Un Nome by Biagio Antonacci from Italian to English.
Come si chiaman certe cose
What are certain things called
Che fanno tana nella mente
That hide in the mind
È come dare un nome all'aria
It's like naming the air
Se vuoi chiamarmi tira un sasso
If you want to call me, throw a stone
Ho chiesto scusa solamente a Dio
I've only apologized to God
Ho chiesto aiuto solamente a Dio
I've only asked God for help
E a Dio, a Dio darò
And to God, to God I'll give
Senza un nome
Without a name
C'è chi mi chiama lo svitato
Some call me the screwball
La gloria mia l'ho messa in grolla
I've put my glory in a grolla
Così bevete alla salute di uno che ha dimenticato
So drink to the health of someone who's forgotten
Senza un nome
Without a name
C'è chi mi deve solo onore
Some only owe me honor
Riposo in riva ad ogni fiume
I rest by every riverbank
E vivo senza chieder posso, senza chiedere permesso
And I live without asking if I can, without asking permission
Sono lo sfottuto esempio da non essere concesso
I'm the ridiculed example that shouldn't be allowed
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Tu che ne sai della mia vita
What do you know about my life?
Ho avuto culo, sono vivo
I got lucky, I'm alive
Essere vivo non significa
Being alive doesn't mean
Avere troppe cose in casa
Having too many things at home
Io sono un sogno realizzato sai
I'm a dream come true, you know
Non ho passato e non ho lode
I have no past and no glory
E Dio e Dio lo sa
And God, and God knows it
Senza un nome
Without a name
C'è chi mi chiama lo svitato
Some call me the screwball
La gloria mia l'ho messa in grolla
I've put my glory in a grolla
Così bevete alla salute di uno che ha dimenticato
So drink to the health of someone who's forgotten
Senza un nome
Without a name
C'è chi mi deve solo onore
Some only owe me honor
Riposo in riva ad ogni fiume
I rest by every riverbank
E vivo senza chieder posso, senza chiedere permesso
And I live without asking if I can, without asking permission
Sono lo sfottuto esempio da non essere concesso
I'm the ridiculed example that shouldn't be allowed
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Ah-ah, uh-uh-uh
Vivo senza chieder posso, senza chiedere permesso
I live without asking if I can, without asking permission
Sono lo sfottuto senza un nome
I'm the ridiculed one without a name

Did you like this lyrics translation?
svitato — screwball / eccentric
Svitato literally means "unscrewed" or "loosened," but it's commonly used in Italian slang to describe someone who is a bit crazy, eccentric, or a "screwball." It's a colorful and informal term.
In "Senza un nome," the lyric "C'è chi mi chiama lo svitato" (There are those who call me the screwball) reveals a self-aware, almost defiant attitude. The protagonist embraces this label, suggesting a character who lives outside conventional norms and doesn't care what others think, making it an intriguing word choice for a song about identity and freedom.
