Bretelle Lyrics in English by Carl Brave, Emis Killa
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bretelle by Carl Brave from Italian to English.
Bretelle tengono i polmoni al gabbio sottopelle
Suspenders hold my lungs in their cage under my skin
Sopra una maglietta rotta blu XL
Over a torn blue XL t-shirt
Noi che ne abbiamo viste delle belle
We've seen some things
Facciamo ancora un po' finta di niente
We still pretend nothing's wrong
Specchio i miei ricordi nei tuoi Persol
I mirror my memories in your Persols
Cambiare lenti giuro è stato un autogol (ma tu no)
Changing lenses, I swear, was an own goal (but not you)
So che lo puoi sentire se ti penso
I know you can feel it if I think of you
Oggi resto a casa co' un profitterol
Today I'm staying home with a profiterole
Patatine bianche e Aperol
Plain chips and Aperol
Non si dice 'ma però'
You don't say "but however"
Come onde rotte sugli scogli ci infrangiamo
Like broken waves on the rocks, we crash
Diventiamo mare con un tuffo nel passato
We become the sea with a dive into the past
Venerdì diciassette t'ho cioccata in giro, accarezzavi un setter
Friday the seventeenth I bumped into you out, you were petting a setter
M'hai mozzato il fiato, i miei polmoni crackers
You took my breath away, my lungs like crackers
E come vernice che si spella dai palazzi
And like paint that peels from buildings
Ci siamo lasciati solo scazzi e solo crepe
We only left each other sh*t and cracks
Vorrei cancellare quella parte di te
I'd like to erase that part of you
Che non ti fa chiedere scusa
That doesn't make you apologize
E ti fa uscire di casa quando ti svegli nervosa
And makes you leave the house when you wake up nervous
Vorrei cancellare quella parte di me
I'd like to erase that part of me
Che mi fa lanciare le cose
That makes me throw things
E mi fa alzare la voce
And makes me raise my voice
Finché la perdo come perdo te
Until I lose it like I lose you
In questo angolo di mondo è sempre venerdì
In this corner of the world it's always Friday
Tu sul divano che ti annoi e guardi la TV
You on the couch bored and watching TV
Io sono uscito senza un piano e senza un piano B
I went out without a plan and without a plan B
E ho fatto a botte con un vecchio all'autogrill
And I fought with an old man at the rest stop
Sopra l'iPhone cinque chiamate perse, mando un sms
On my iPhone five missed calls, I send an SMS
Di insulti e cattiverie, come tutte le sere
Of insults and nastiness, like every evening
Vorrei dormire adesso che ho esaurito ogni bugia
I'd like to sleep now that I've run out of every lie
Sotto il tuo sguardo che ora sembra una radiografia
Under your gaze that now seems like an X-ray
Lungo la via accendo la radio
Along the way I turn on the radio
Passa il mio pezzo preferito ma viene interrotto da una nota audio
My favorite song comes on but it's interrupted by an audio note
Di te che dici che stavolta è l'ultima, lo giuri
From you saying that this time it's the last, you swear it
Guidando leggo le scritte sui muri
Driving I read the writings on the walls
Sembra che parlino di noi un po' come quel libro
It seems they speak of us a bit like that book
Che tu mi hai regalato e che io non ho mai finito
That you gave me and that I never finished
E ora ti dedico un romanzo di brutti pensieri
And now I dedicate to you a novel of bad thoughts
Pensare che stavamo così bene ieri
To think that we were so good yesterday
Vorrei cancellare quella parte di te
I'd like to erase that part of you
Che non ti fa chiedere scusa
That doesn't make you apologize
E ti fa uscire di casa quando ti svegli nervosa
And makes you leave the house when you wake up nervous
Vorrei cancellare quella parte di me
I'd like to erase that part of me
Che mi fa lanciare le cose
That makes me throw things
E mi fa alzare la voce
And makes me raise my voice
Finché la perdo come perdo te
Until I lose it like I lose you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
bretelle — suspenders
Bretelle literally translates to "suspenders" or "braces". It's an interesting and somewhat old-fashioned word that isn't commonly found in modern Italian song lyrics.
In this song, Carl Brave uses "bretelle" in a unique and metaphorical way, singing "Bretelle tengono i polmoni al gabbio sottopelle" (Suspenders hold the lungs in a cage under the skin). This creates a vivid and slightly surreal image, making the word memorable and intriguing for a learner.
