Per Me Lyrics in English Fabrizio Moro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Per Me by Fabrizio Moro from Italian to English.
For me, who ran so much
Like prey fleeing the hunt
For me a clogged steamroller
Cold wind that cuts the face
For me, born among the monsters of the crossroads
Conditioned by the shadows cast on the steps I've taken
For a huge dream, huge
Locked inside a box that has no shape
For me burnt cardboard
Tough leftovers of a blessed fate
For me blood of a Christ
Who's on a cross but isn't nailed
For me, life moves on
One minute, an age
For me
With energy spent in torments
Mood between insults and compliments
With spit against prejudice
And health lost because of a vice
I haven't seen the world
But I learned to travel anyway
For me middle-school diploma and a building site
And hours and hours cleaning the same toilet
For me iron shoes
Heavy to move in but tough
For me a thrown-off needle
Joyful smile with gaps between the teeth
For me, life moves on
One minute, an age
For me
For me, life moves on
One minute, an age
For me
With thoughts dirty yet innocent
With moves between apartments
And songs written just to get by
And huge loves and never an altar
With energy spent in torments
Mood between insults and compliments
With spit against prejudice
And health lost because of a vice
It's life that goes
One minute, an age
For me
For me
It's life that goes
It's life that goes
It's life that goes
It's life that goes
It's life that goes

SONG MEANING

Per Me is Fabrizio Moro’s gritty self-portrait of survival. He strings together images of a life spent sprinting like prey, dodging the cold wind, and working blue-collar jobs that leave him scrubbing the same bathroom for hours. Each line feels like another scar turned into a lyric: iron shoes that weigh him down yet keep him standing, a dream so huge it hardly fits inside a shapeless box, and the “blood of a Christ” who hangs on a cross but refuses to be nailed. In other words, the song is a catalog of hardships that somehow double as trophies.

Yet underneath all the rough edges runs a stubborn current of hope. Moro repeats, “È la vita che va” (“It’s life that goes on”), reminding us that every minute can feel like an entire lifetime, but the clock keeps ticking anyway. He fights prejudice with spit, gambles his health on bad habits, and still finds the energy to write songs and fall in love. Per Me celebrates resilience: even when life feels like a broken bulldozer or a box of burned-out cardboard, it keeps rolling forward—and so do we.
