Amen Lyrics in English Francesco Gabbani

Home / Lyrics Translation / Francesco Gabbani / Amen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amen by Francesco Gabbani from Italian to English.

Barbarians at the door, hide supplies and change

Under the tail, under the tail, under the tail

And the organ traffickers, and the vandals' raids

They're in fashion, they're in fashion, they're in fashion

A mystic visionary at the university

Told me utopia will save us

Teetotalers in an alcoholic coma from unhappiness

The Mass is over now, kids, go in peace

The wind dies down, no dissent, all's quiet again

So onward, people

Who's hoping for a miracle

We work through grief with an Amen

From the rich with an ascetic look to the poor in spirit

We forget everything with an Amen

The athletic bearing, the cosmetic treatment

They're in fashion, they're in fashion, always in fashion

I've got the monk's robe, the philosopher's beard

I wag my tail, I wag my tail, tail flick

Jesus has turned agnostic, the killers convert

Someone's already smelling of sainthood

The crowd lines up in the stores of uselessness

The offer's already over, friends, go in peace

The wind dies down, no dissent, all's quiet again

So onward, people

Who's hoping for a miracle

We work through grief with an Amen

From the rich with an ascetic look to the poor in spirit

We forget everything with an Amen

Amen

We forget everything with an Amen

Amen

We forget everything with an Amen

Bridge

And man fell asleep and, in the dream, created the world

There he lived in harmony with the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea

The spontaneous earth gave its fruits in abundance

There was no war, no death, no illness, no suffering

Then he woke up

So onward, people

Who's hoping for a miracle

We work through grief with an Amen

From the rich with an ascetic look to the poor in spirit

We forget everything with an Amen

Amen

We forget everything with an Amen

Amen

We forget everything with an Amen

SONG MEANING

Francesco Gabbani’s “Amen” is a witty, upbeat anthem that hides a sharp social critique behind its catchy melody. Through playful religious imagery—priests, miracles, choir-style chants of Amen—Gabbani pokes fun at how we often look for quick fixes to complex problems. Consumerism, media fads, and empty spiritual gestures parade through the lyrics, while people whisper “Amen” as if a single word could wipe away fear, inequality, or the latest crisis. The song invites listeners to notice how easily society slips into passive acceptance: we queue for useless products, follow wellness trends, and wait for a “visionary mystic” to save us, all while real issues remain untouched.

Yet there is also a spark of hope between the lines. Gabbani challenges us to replace resignation with action, to stop hiding “provviste e spiccioli” (supplies and spare change) and confront the barbarians—real or imagined—at the gate. By spotlighting our contradictions with humor, “Amen” asks us to wake up from the dream where everything is perfect and start shaping the world for real. It is a catchy reminder that change does not arrive with a miracle; it begins when we stop saying Amen and start doing something.
