Afrodite Lyrics in English Blanco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Afrodite by Blanco from Italian to English.
Blanchito baby
Michelangelo, put wings on me
Kill an emotion
Make it burn under the sun
Smother it with drugs
In an alcohol bath
With the scent of summer
The little parties on boats
Under a calm sea
Straight like asphalt
The sky, no, doesn't have freckles tonight
The moon instead is stuck to the windows
My pupils retreat into the dark
I fall asleep in this hole, I'm alone
Even though I roam like I'm a vagabond
And I feel like a bottomless well
Looking for something new
That fills this void
How I remember the first time
The first time in love
I've never tasted that flavor
You're something that has never existed
I dreamed of you
Aphrodite
You're something that has never existed
Rest
Because if anxiety's overbearing
Try again
Boost my endorphins
Make me happier tonight
Give me a reason to live
One more reason to laugh
That fills this void
How I remember the first time
The first time in love
I've never tasted that flavor
You're something that has never existed
I dreamed of you
Aphrodite
You're something that has never existed
You're something that has never existed
When you called, I ran
I came running
We're barefoot
On barbed wire
I didn't ask you what for
Without wanting things
I came alone
Alone to look for you
Kill an emotion
Make it burn under the sun
Smother it with drugs
In an alcohol bath
With the scent of summer
The little parties on boats
Under a calm sea
Straight like asphalt

SONG MEANING

Afrodite is a late-night confession wrapped in the scent of salt, sunscreen and sleepless parties. Blanco invites us onto sun-drenched yachts and into alcohol-fogged bathrooms where he tries to “kill an emotion”. He piles on drugs, loud music and summer celebrations to silence the anxiety spinning inside him, yet ends up alone, eyes swallowed by the dark, feeling like “a bottomless well.”

Against this backdrop of glittering escapism rises Afrodite—the dream goddess who could refill his empty heart. She is “something that has never existed,” an almost mythical cure able to raise his endorphins, gift him new reasons to laugh and recreate the rush of first love. When she calls, he runs barefoot over barbed wire, ready to abandon every hollow thrill for a taste of real connection. The song captures that tug-of-war between quick fixes and genuine feelings, painting a vivid picture of youthful excess colliding with an aching need for meaning and love.
