Le Buone Maniere Lyrics in English by Bugo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Buone Maniere by Bugo from Italian to English.
Ore undici in punto, inizia l'assemblea
Eleven o'clock sharp, the meeting begins
Occorre essere attenti, tenere un decoro
You need to be attentive, maintain decorum
Gli uomini perfetti profumano d'oro
Perfect men smell like gold
Quando devi fare qualcosa in grandezza
When you have to do something big
Le buone maniere e una buona scioltezza
Good manners and a good ease
Possono servire per un pranzo d'affari
They can be useful for a business lunch
Qui si intuisce se bluffi o se bari
Here you can tell if you're bluffing or cheating
Non agitarti se stai in mezzo agli altri
Don't get nervous if you're among others
Sai quanta gente non regge agli infarti?
Do you know how many people can't handle heart attacks?
Hai tre giorni per diventare un re
You have three days to become a king
Non fare domande e non chiedere perché
Don't ask questions and don't ask why
Seduti a tavola si sta parlando
Sitting at the table, people are talking
Sorridi sempre anche se ti stai annoiando
Always smile even if you're bored
Parla sicuro, d'attualità
Speak confidently, about current affairs
Non è necessario dire la verità
It's not necessary to tell the truth
Vuoi diventare un vero signore
You want to become a true gentleman
Ma perché la tua faccia ha cambiato colore?
But why has your face changed color?
Se vuoi diventare un vero signore devi imparare le buone maniere
If you want to become a true gentleman you must learn good manners
Ma vedo che basta poco e prendi fuoco, tu non conosci le buone maniere
But I see that it takes little for you to lose your temper, you don't know good manners
Devi imparare a stare con gli altri
You must learn to get along with others
Hai digerito il galateo troppo in fretta
You've digested the etiquette too quickly
Guarda come tieni in mano la forchetta
Look how you're holding the fork
Guarda i commensali puliti speciali
Look at the clean, special diners
Rimani a terra come i veri reali
Stay grounded like true royals
Segui la velocità e non parlare
Keep up with the pace and don't talk
Di sesso e politica se vuoi evitare
About sex and politics if you want to avoid
Che un argomento antipatico
That an awkward topic
Causi un incidente diplomatico
Causes a diplomatic incident
Biglietto da visita sono le scarpe
Your shoes are your business card
Cammina tenendo dritte le spalle
Walk with your shoulders straight
Anche se non sai giocare a golf
Even if you can't play golf
Mostrati disinvolto negli sport
Act casual in sports
Mi chiamo Rossi Chiara sono la direttrice
My name is Rossi Chiara, I'm the director
Affinché il week end abbia un esito felice
For the weekend to have a happy outcome
Impara dell'educazione i fondamenti
Learn the fundamentals of good manners
Occorre essere attenti, essere attenti
You need to be attentive, be attentive
Se vuoi diventare un vero signore devi imparare le buone maniere
If you want to become a true gentleman you must learn good manners
Ma vedo che basta poco e prendi fuoco, tu non conosci le buone maniere
But I see that it takes little for you to lose your temper, you don't know good manners
Devi imparare a stare con gli altri
You must learn to get along with others
Se vuoi diventare un vero signore devi imparare le buone maniere
If you want to become a true gentleman you must learn good manners
Ma vedo che basta poco e prendi fuoco, tu non conosci le buone maniere
But I see that it takes little for you to lose your temper, you don't know good manners
Devi imparare a stare con gli altri
You must learn to get along with others
Occorre essere attenti, tenere un decoro
You need to be attentive, maintain decorum
Gli uomini perfetti profumano d'oro
Perfect men smell like gold
Quando devi fare qualcosa in grandezza
When you have to do something big
Le buone maniere e una buona scioltezza
Good manners and a good ease
Se vuoi diventare un vero signore devi imparare le buone maniere
If you want to become a true gentleman you must learn good manners
Ma vedo che basta poco e prendi fuoco, tu non conosci le buone maniere
But I see that it takes little for you to lose your temper, you don't know good manners
Devi imparare a stare con gli altri
You must learn to get along with others
Se vuoi diventare un vero signore devi imparare le buone maniere
If you want to become a true gentleman you must learn good manners
Ma vedo che basta poco e prendi fuoco, tu non conosci le buone maniere
But I see that it takes little for you to lose your temper, you don't know good manners
Devi imparare a stare con gli altri
You must learn to get along with others
Le buone maniere

Did you like this lyrics translation?
galateo — etiquette / good manners
Galateo refers to the rules of etiquette or good manners, often associated with a specific book on the subject. It's a more formal and less common word than simply "buone maniere" (good manners), which also appears in the song.
In "Le Buone Maniere," the lyrics state, "Hai digerito il galateo troppo in fretta" (You've digested the etiquette too quickly). This implies that the person has superficially learned the rules without truly internalizing them, highlighting the song's theme of the importance of genuine social grace versus mere pretense.
