In Italia Lyrics in English Fabri Fibra , Gianna Nannini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In Italia by Fabri Fibra from Italian to English.
Intro
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
Born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
Where're you running?
In Italy guns in cars
In Italy Machiavelli and Foscolo
In Italy world champs
They're in Italy
Welcome!
In Italy take a vacation at the sea
In Italy you'd better not get surgery
In Italy don't go to the hospital
In Italy the good life
In Italy big nights and galas
In Italy you do business with the mob
In Italy the neighbor who shoots you
In Italy
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
You were born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
You were born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
Where're you running?
In Italy the real mobsters are
In Italy the most dangerous are
In Italy girls on the street
In Italy you eat homemade pasta
In Italy then thieves break into your house
In Italy you don't find steady work
In Italy yet you kiss the crucifix
In Italy the monuments
In Italy the churches with paintings
In Italy people with feelings
In Italy countryside and kidnappings
In Italy
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
You were born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
You were born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
Where're you running?
In Italy courted girls
In Italy photographed women
In Italy blackmailed models
In Italy learn the art
In Italy people reading the cards
In Italy murders never solved
In Italy lost faces and certain votes
In Italy
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
You were born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
There're things nobody will tell you
There're things nobody will give you
You were born and died here
You were born and died here
Born in the country of half-truths
Where're you running?
Where're you running?

SONG MEANING

“In Italia” is a rap-rock postcard that flips back and forth like a sped-up slideshow of the Bel Paese. Fabri Fibra’s verses race through sunny beaches, historic monuments and homemade pasta, only to crash into crooked business deals, hospital horror stories and drive-by neighbors. Gianna Nannini’s haunting hook floats above it all, reminding us that “there are things nobody will tell you”—and that you are “born and die here”. The result is a thrilling clash of pride and disillusionment, where football trophies and Renaissance art share the same stage with mafiosi and missing jobs.

At its core, the song paints Italy as the land of mezze verità—half-truths. It celebrates the warmth, passion and cultural riches that draw tourists, while exposing the darker realities locals face every day. By piling up contradictions at breakneck speed, Fibra challenges listeners to look past the picture-perfect postcard, question easy stereotypes and decide whether to stay, flee or fight for change in a country that can break your heart and make you fall in love at the exact same time.
