Vulcano Lyrics in English Francesca Michielin

Home / Lyrics Translation / Francesca Michielin / Vulcano

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vulcano by Francesca Michielin from Italian to English.

Intro

V like volcano

And a thousand other things

Like the will to walk near the fire

And figure out if this beating heart is real

If you really feel it or it's just vanity

V like volcano

And a thousand other things

Like the volume that gets louder and holds the sea

And see if it's worth really getting burned

Or not mean it

Mean it

I run at night, streetlights, the stars

There's the Indian bar

It smells like you

I shout louder, I get lost in the dawn

You're in everything, in everything it explodes

The vertigo I have for you

V like volcano

And a thousand other things

The fear of wandering too long aimlessly

And see if it's alive

This heart that vibrates

Can really travel

Really travel

I run at night, streetlights, the stars

There's the Indian bar

It smells like you

I shout louder, I get lost in the dawn

You're in everything, in everything it explodes

The vertigo I have for you

Bridge

I move, I stop, the downtown traffic light's been off for an hour

You must be sleeping

It's nice to feel even here

The vertigo I have for you

I run at night, the streetlights, the stars

There's the Indian bar

It smells like you

I shout louder, I get lost in the dawn

You're in everything, in everything it explodes

The vertigo I have for you

SONG MEANING

"Vulcano" bubbles with raw energy, turning the letter V into a compass that points to everything fiery: vulcano, volontà (will), volume, and the dizzying vertigine of love. Francesca Michielin races through night streets lit by lampposts and stars, following the lingering perfume of someone who seems to exist in every corner of the city. While she runs, she questions whether her pounding heart is genuine or just vanity and whether it is worth getting burned to feel something real.

The track celebrates the thrill of standing on the crater’s edge, where fear, curiosity, and desire collide. Repeating the line "la vertigine che ho di te" (the vertigo I have for you), Michielin captures that breath-stealing rush when love fills every sight, sound, and scent. "Vulcano" is an anthem for anyone willing to dance near the flames, ready to risk the scorch in order to ignite their own heartbeat.
