Se Un Giorno Ti Svegli Felice Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Un Giorno Ti Svegli Felice by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Che differenza c'è
What's the difference
Tra un cuore spento ed uno indifferente
Between a lifeless heart and an indifferent one
Tra un padre ubriaco e il legno marcio
Between a drunk father and rotten wood
Tra un uomo felice sempre
Between a man who's always happy
Ed un bugiardo
And a liar
Che differenza c'è
What's the difference
Tra una bella donna ed un cantante
Between a beautiful woman and a singer
Tra i colori di Roma e cieli di Buenos Aires
Between the colors of Rome and the skies of Buenos Aires
Tra una vecchia signora ed il suo piccolo amico
Between an old lady and her little friend
A quattro zampe
on four legs
Che differenza c'è
What's the difference
Tra un pugno al vento ed un'offesa
Between a punch at the air and an insult
Tra un uomo nudo ed un poeta
Between a naked man and a poet
Tra l'amore eterno
Between eternal love
E un bacio dato a primavera
And a kiss given in spring
Se l'uomo più forte del mondo
If the strongest man in the world
Avesse un cuore innocente
Had an innocent heart
Se hai già perso mille volte
If you've already lost a thousand times
Ma nei sondaggi ti chiamano vincente
But in the polls they call you a winner
Se un giorno ti svegli felice
If one day you wake up happy
E meno intelligente
And less smart
Che differenza c'è
What's the difference
Tra un buon marito ed un soldato semplice
Between a good husband and a simple soldier
Tra una moglie che hai tradito e il pane raffermo
Between a wife you've cheated on and stale bread
Tra un vecchio amico e quella foto
Between an old friend and that photo
Che conservo
That I keep
Che differenza c'è
What's the difference
Tra un pugno al vento ed un'offesa
Between a punch at the air and an insult
Tra un uomo nudo ed un poeta
Between a naked man and a poet
Tra l'amore eterno
Between eternal love
E un bacio dato a primavera
And a kiss given in spring
Se l'uomo più forte del mondo
If the strongest man in the world
Avesse un cuore innocente
Had an innocent heart
Se hai già perso mille volte
If you've already lost a thousand times
Ma nei sondaggi ti chiamano vincente
But in the polls they call you a winner
Se un giorno ti svegli felice
If one day you wake up happy
E meno intelligente
And less smart
Questo mondo è una commedia
This world is a comedy
Per chi ama è una tragedia
For whoever loves it's a tragedy
Ma per chi, ma per chi
But for the one, but for the one
Sta in silenzio
Who stays silent
Che differenza c'è?
What's the difference?
Se un giorno ti svegli felice
If one day you wake up happy
Se un giorno ti svegli felice
If one day you wake up happy
Se un giorno ti svegli felice
If one day you wake up happy

Did you like this lyrics translation?
raffermo — stale
Raffermo means "stale" and is typically used to describe food, like bread. It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word to find in a song, especially when paired with a human relationship.
In the lyrics, Cesare Cremonini contrasts "una moglie che hai tradito" (a wife you betrayed) with "il pane raffermo" (stale bread). This juxtaposition creates a powerful image, perhaps suggesting that a betrayed relationship, like stale bread, has lost its freshness and vitality, becoming something hard and unappealing.
