La Canzone Che Hai Scritto Tu Lyrics in English by Brunori Sas
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Canzone Che Hai Scritto Tu by Brunori Sas from Italian to English.
Volevo scriverti una canzone speciale
I wanted to write you a special song
Una canzone per tirarti su
A song to cheer you up
Con ritornello che pian piano sale
With a chorus that slowly rises
E le lacrime che vanno giù
And the tears that fall
Però ti devi accontentare
But you have to settle
Io non so fare davvero di più
I really can't do more
E se qualcuno dice che è banale
And if someone says it's trivial
Facciamo finta che l'hai scritta tu
Let's pretend that you wrote it
Che l'hai scritta tu
That you wrote it
Però tu prendila, cantala
But you take it, sing it
Falla suonare in un giorno di pioggia
Play it on a rainy day
Quando stai male
When you feel bad
Sdraiata sul letto a fissare le ore
Lying on the bed staring at the hours
O nei pomeriggi passati a fumare
Or in the afternoons spent smoking
E se le parole che ho scritto non bastano più
And if the words I wrote aren't enough anymore
Buttale via e inventale tu
Throw them away and invent them yourself
Volevo scrivere una canzone popolare
I wanted to write a popular song
Di quelle che non si scrivono più
Of those that aren't written anymore
Col ritornello che sa di Natale
With a chorus that feels like Christmas
E la neve che scende giù
And the snow that falls
Però ti devi accontentare, amore mio
But you have to settle, my love
Io non so fare davvero di più
I really can't do more
E se assomiglia a qualche vecchia canzone
And if it resembles some old song
Diciamo a tutti che che l'hai scritta tu
Let's tell everyone that you wrote it
Che l'hai scritta tu
That you wrote it
Però tu prendila, cantala
But you take it, sing it
Falla volare in un giorno di pioggia
Let it fly on a rainy day
Quando stai male
When you feel bad
Sdraiata sul letto a fissare le ore
Lying on the bed staring at the hours
O nei pomeriggi passati a fumare
Or in the afternoons spent smoking
E se le parole che ho scritto non bastano più
And if the words I wrote aren't enough anymore
Buttale via
Throw them away
E inventale tu
And invent them yourself
E inventale tu
And invent them yourself
E inventale tu
And invent them yourself
E se le parole che ho scritto non bastano più
And if the words I wrote aren't enough anymore
E se tutto quello che ho detto non ti serve più
And if everything I said isn't useful to you anymore
E se le parole che ho scritto non servono più
And if the words I wrote aren't useful anymore
Buttale via
Throw them away
E inventale tu
And invent them yourself
E inventale tu
And invent them yourself
E inventale tu
And invent them yourself

Did you like this lyrics translation?
accontentare — to settle / to be content
Accontentare means "to satisfy" or "to please," but in its reflexive form, accontentarsi, it means "to settle" or "to be content with what you have." It's a nuanced verb that goes beyond a simple translation.
In this song, the singer repeatedly tells the listener, "Però ti devi accontentare" (But you have to settle/be content). It conveys a humble acceptance of his limitations in writing the perfect song, inviting the listener to find beauty in its imperfections. This word captures a key theme of the song: finding contentment in simplicity.
