Paracetamolo Lyrics in English Calcutta

Home / Lyrics Translation / Calcutta / Paracetamolo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Paracetamolo by Calcutta from Italian to English.

You know that Tachipirina five-hundred, if you take two

It becomes a thousand

It's clear you've tried a little something, they speak

Your pupils speak

And now that you take me by the hand, go slow

Because if you squeeze me like this

I feel my heart at a thousand

Milan's Duomo is a paracetamol always ready for

Your tonsils

Tomorrow I don't work, you can come over to mine

But you never come to mine

And your place isn't Versailles

And now that you squeeze my hand, go slow

Because I feel my heart at a thousand

I feel my heart at a thousand

Bridge

Seagull song

Inside my hand

Bridge

If we're on the subway or on the train I don't care

I feel the Mediterranean Sea

Inside this radio

Bridge

Please go slow, because if you squeeze me like this

I feel my heart at a thousand

Outro

I feel my heart at a thousand, thousand, thousand

I feel my heart at a thousand

SONG MEANING

“Paracetamolo” is Calcutta’s witty indie-pop way of saying that love can feel just like a fever. He swaps the classic image of roses and moonlight for everyday objects: a double dose of Tachipirina 500, the neon glow of the Duomo di Milano, a rattling ride on the metro or train. Each reference acts as a playful metaphor for the rush of infatuation. The moment his crush squeezes his hand, his heartbeat shoots to mille and he needs an emotional painkiller to keep the symptoms under control.

Behind the humor sits a relatable tension. Promised visits never happen, real apartments are “not Versailles,” and the singer looks for quick remedies to calm his racing heart while still hoping the relationship will actually show up. “Paracetamolo” is therefore a bittersweet anthem: it celebrates the dizzy high of modern love while admitting that sometimes all we really get is a brief dose of relief, just enough to make it to the next chorus.
