Compleanno Lyrics in English by CoCo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Compleanno by CoCo from Italian to English.
Mi spiace non esserci stato già al tuo compleanno
I'm sorry I wasn't already there for your birthday
Mi spiace perché mi aspettavi anche lo scorso anno
I'm sorry because you were waiting for me last year too
Mi spiace perché forse ormai neanche ci fai più caso
I'm sorry because maybe by now you don't even notice it anymore
Io che speravo di cavarmela con quel regalo
I was hoping to get away with just that gift
Mi spiace perché il tempo passa ed io non me ne accorgo
I'm sorry because time passes and I don't notice it
Per inseguire un sogno mi son perso nel mio mondo
To chase a dream, I got lost in my world
Mi spiace perché so già che mi pentirò un giorno
I'm sorry because I already know I'll regret it one day
Ciò che trascuri prima o poi sbiadisce come inchiostro
What you neglect sooner or later fades like ink
Mi spiace non rispondere alle tue domande
I'm sorry for not answering your questions
Averti attorno e non accorgermi che ti fai grande
Having you around and not noticing you're growing up
Mi spiace perché lo so che tu non ci pensi neanche
I'm sorry because I know you don't even think about it
Videochiamate interrotte da altre chiamate
Video calls interrupted by other calls
Yeh, metto il mio disco dal telefono
Yeah, I play my track from my phone
Abbasso il vetro, alzo il volume dello stereo
I roll down the window, turn up the stereo volume
La strada è vuoto, accelero
The road is empty, I accelerate
Fermo al semaforo controllo il meteo
Stopped at the traffic light, I check the weather
Rimando ancora a quell'aereo
I keep postponing that flight
Wow, a volte penso che sono un codardo
Wow, sometimes I think I'm a coward
Io che mi sono sempre giurato di
I who always swore to myself to
Non far gli errori di mio padre di
Not make my father's mistakes of
Dare a qualcuno tutto ciò che a me è mancato
Giving someone everything I lacked
Ho fatto poi tutto il contrario
Then I did the exact opposite
Chissà che pensi di me, mhm
Who knows what you think of me, mhm
Suona un po' come un cliché
It sounds a bit like a cliché
Cerco nei tuoi occhi un perché
I look for a reason in your eyes
Finito un altro weekend
Another weekend is over
Yeah, i miei amici dicono: 'Sei fortunato'
Yeah, my friends say: "You're lucky."
Io invece penso che sia solo un caso
I, instead, think it's just a coincidence
Ritorno all'alba in studio da Rosario
I return at dawn to Rosario's studio
Faccio tre giri, fra', dell'isolato
I do three laps, bro, around the block
E sono ancora le sei, il cielo sembra in Blu-ray
And it's still six, the sky looks like Blu-ray
Vorrei esistesse un replay, chissà se lo rifarei
I wish there was a replay, who knows if I'd do it again
Mi sembra stupido a volte fingere sia tutto okay
Sometimes it seems stupid to pretend everything's okay
Parole sempre più corte che dico ma non vorrei
Shorter and shorter words that I say but wish I didn't
Ricordi bruciano gli occhi, conto le stelle e le notti
Memories burn my eyes, I count the stars and the nights
Se corri senza una meta, fra', è un po' come fare jogging
If you run without a goal, bro, it's a bit like jogging
E penso all'ultimo anno, non è cambiato poi tanto
And I think about the last year, not much has changed
Se non chi mi stava accanto 'Usciamo di qui scavalcando'
Except for who was next to me "Let's climb out of here."
Fra di che stavi parlando? Sono qui in studio da ieri
Bro, what were you talking about? I've been here in the studio since yesterday
L'estate è appena finita ma so che ancora ci speri
Summer has just ended but I know you still hope for it
Ma ti ho deluso di nuovo, giuro non me lo perdono
But I disappointed you again, I swear I won't forgive myself
'Sto gioco è sporco, mi copro, ti dedico un disco d'oro
This game is dirty, I protect myself, I dedicate a gold record to you

sbiadisce — fades
Sbiadisce means "fades" or "loses color". It's a poignant and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of something slowly diminishing.
In the song, CoCo uses it to express a universal truth: "Ciò che trascuri prima o poi sbiadisce come inchiostro" (What you neglect eventually fades like ink). This metaphor beautifully conveys the idea that relationships and dreams, if not nurtured, will slowly lose their vibrancy and disappear, making it a memorable and relatable word.
