La Vigilia Di Natale Lyrics in English by Brunori Sas
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Vigilia Di Natale by Brunori Sas from Italian to English.
Quest'anno a Natale volevo scappare
This year at Christmas I wanted to escape
Non ero più un grado di sopportare
I was no longer able to bear it
Mia moglie che puzzava di brodo vegetale
My wife who smelled of vegetable broth
E il cane che pisciava sui fogli di giornale
And the dog who was p*ssing on newspaper sheets
Perché spesso a Natale mi viene il magone
Because often at Christmas I get the blues
Con le luci, il presepe e tutte quelle persone
With the lights, the nativity scene, and all those people
Con i pacchi dei regali, con le facce tutte uguali
With the gift packages, with all the same faces
Col boccone sempre in bocca come un branco di maiali
With a mouthful always in their mouth like a herd of pigs
E pensare a com'era bella questa notte trent'anni fa
And to think how beautiful this night was thirty years ago
Alla luce di un'altra stella, alla luce di un'altra età
In the light of another star, in the light of another age
E continuo a sognare quella casa sul mare
And I keep dreaming of that house by the sea
Con la spiaggia e una barca per andare a pescare
With the beach and a boat to go fishing
Qualche pesce tropicale o vecchie storie marinare
Some tropical fish or old sea stories
Di stelle cadenti che diventano lampare
Of falling stars that become fishing lamps
Ma di mare qui c'è solo questa stupida insalata
But of sea here there's only this stupid salad
Ennesima portata dell'ennesimo cenone
Yet another course of yet another big dinner
Le farfalle col salmone, lo spumante e il panettone
Farfalle with salmon, the sparkling wine and the panettone
E i ragazzi improfumanti in attesa del veglione
And the perfumed kids waiting for the big party
E pensare com'eri bella, quella notte vent'anni fa
And to think how beautiful you were, that night twenty years ago
Quella notte di luna piena, solo d'ingenuità
That night of full moon, only of innocence
Cosa rimane? Mogli, figli, fantasie
What remains? Wives, children, fantasies
Forse è il momento di andare
Maybe it's time to go
Corri e scappa via
Run and escape away
Ma poi ti fermi un secondo e rimani così
But then you stop for a second and stay like that
A pensare che il peggio è passato, ad un passo da qui
Thinking that the worst is over, a step from here
Quest'anno a Natale volevo morire
This year at Christmas I wanted to die
Poi ho visto l'orario e sono andato a dormire
Then I saw the time and I went to sleep
Ho spento la luce e la stella cometa
I turned off the light and the comet star
'Finite le feste mi metterò a dieta'
"When the holidays are over I'll go on a diet"
Mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm
Eh na na na na na
Eh na na na na na
Eh na na na
Eh na na na
Eh na na na na na
Eh na na na na na
Eh na na na
Eh na na na
Mogli, figli, fantasie
Wives, children, fantasies
Forse è il momento di andare
Maybe it's time to go
Corri e scappa via
Run and escape away
Ma poi ti fermi un secondo e rimani così
But then you stop for a second and stay like that
A pensare che il peggio è passato, ad un passo da qui
Thinking that the worst is over, a step from here
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm

Did you like this lyrics translation?
magone — lump in one's throat / heavy heart
Magone is an interesting and evocative Italian word that literally refers to a 'lump in one's throat' or a 'heavy heart'. It describes a feeling of deep sadness, melancholy, or emotional distress, often accompanied by a physical sensation in the throat or chest.
In the context of the song, the singer expresses, "spesso a Natale mi viene il magone" (often at Christmas, I get a heavy heart). This perfectly captures the bittersweet or even melancholic feelings that can sometimes accompany festive seasons, making it a relatable and memorable word for learners.
