La Mosca Lyrics in English by Brunori Sas
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mosca by Brunori Sas from Italian to English.
La mosca che danza in mezzo alla stanza percorre grovigli diretti a metà
The fly dancing in the middle of the room travels tangles directed halfway
La osservo rapito da tanta costanza cercando una logica nel gioco che fa
I watch it captivated by such persistence, searching for logic in the game it plays
La mosca è un dilemma che mi ronza in testa attratto dall'ambiguità
The fly is a dilemma buzzing in my head, attracted by ambiguity
La mosca che morde preannuncia tempesta che annacqua le mie verità
The fly that bites foretells a storm that waters down my truths
Io starò con lei fino all'ultimo giorno
I'll be with her until the last day
Penserò solo a lei senza guardarmi intorno
I'll only think of her without looking around
Intanto la mosca esausta si posa e riposa sul muro di casa
Meanwhile the exhausted fly lands and rests on the house wall
Si sfrega le zampe con aria golosa mi guarda e in fondo lo sa
It rubs its legs with a greedy look, looks at me and deep down it knows
Che nelle mie mani ho un romanzo di prosa
That in my hands I have a prose novel
Che parla di un giovane e della sua sposa
That speaks of a young man and his bride
Forse si aspetta un finale a sorpresa che temo non arriverà
Perhaps it expects a surprise ending that I fear won't arrive
Perché ho voglia di lei questa è l'unica cosa
Because I long for her, this is the only thing
E non sarà una mosca a rubare il profumo alla rosa
And a fly won't steal the scent from the rose
Nanana
Nanana
Perché ho voglia di lei questa è l'unica cosa
Because I long for her, this is the only thing
E non sarà una mosca a rubare il profumo alla rosa
And a fly won't steal the scent from the rose
Perché io sarò con lei come un'unica cosa
Because I'll be with her as one
E non sarà una mosca a macchiare il vestito alla sposa
And a fly won't stain the bride's dress

DARIO BRUNORI
Did you like this lyrics translation?
grovigli — tangles / snarls
Grovigli translates to "tangles" or "snarls". It's a vivid and somewhat unusual word to find in song lyrics, making it memorable.
In "La Mosca", the word is used to describe the intricate and perhaps confusing paths the fly takes: "percorre grovigli diretti a metà" (it travels tangles directed halfway). This imagery adds a layer of depth, suggesting not just physical movement but also the complex, perhaps unresolved, nature of the fly's journey or even the singer's thoughts.
