Il Sudore Ci Appiccica Lyrics in English Francesco Gabbani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Sudore Ci Appiccica by Francesco Gabbani from Italian to English.
By the way, I wanted to tell you
Life isn't bad
Even though feeling good isn't really that normal
Smile on the face, feints in the belly, innocent tears
What really matters if people
Hate people
By the way, I wanted to tell you that life isn't bad
By the way, what can you do
On these stairs you go down a bit and up a bit
Therefore probably
Number one counts for nothing
Anyway it doesn't matter anymore
If instead of giving people take
And still we dance
Like bubbles in the air
And we tag our faces
'Cause the hunt's reopened
And anyway we kiss
The Italian banana
Fearless hearts afloat
Butts, cigars and Havana, banana
Kiss kiss, hit hit
Kiss and hit
Sweat sticks us together
Sweat sticks us together
Darn
By the way, the other day I felt almost like someone else
Still I'm the same since the end of sex
Parents make kids and kids make parents
On the bed under a roof all inside
By the way, I wanted to tell you that life isn't bad
Buddy, what are you making me do
You steal, steal, steal then we've gotta pay it back
'Cause surely the craftiest thief steals nothing
He comes, smiles, turns, betrays, robs and disappears
And still we dance
Like bubbles in the air
And we tag our faces
'Cause the hunt's reopened
And anyway we kiss
The Italian banana
Fearless hearts afloat
Butts, cigars and Havana, banana
Kiss kiss, hit hit
Kiss and hit
Sweat sticks us together
Sweat sticks us together
Darn
Still I wanna get away but I can't find the station
I'll run off with a kite waiting for me at the gate
Still from my place I hardly see the nation
I see really well little bananas and big bananas
And still we dance
Like bubbles in the air
And we tag our faces
'Cause the hunt's reopened
And anyway we kiss
The Italian banana
Fearless hearts afloat
Butts, cigars and Havana, banana
Kiss kiss, hit hit
Kiss kiss, hit hit
Kiss kiss, hit hit
Kiss and hit
Sweat sticks us together
Sweat sticks us together
Darn
Outro
By the way, I wanted to tell you
No, nothing

SONG MEANING

Il Sudore Ci Appiccica ("Sweat Sticks Us Together") is Francesco Gabbani’s cheeky snapshot of modern life, served on a steamy dance-floor. Between irresistible hooks and tongue-twisting rhymes, Gabbani grins at life’s contradictions: “la vita non è male” even though real happiness feels rare, people smile while crying inside, and everyone both loves and hates “la gente.” The song bounces up and down the metaphorical staircase of existence, reminding us that being “number one” means nothing if society prefers taking instead of giving.

Yet, instead of preaching, Gabbani invites us to let go. We dance like bubbles in the air, tag selfies, kiss, tussle, and get gloriously sweaty together. Italian clichés—bananas, cigars, Havana nights—float by in carnival colors, poking fun at consumerism and social media vanity. Beneath the playful chaos lies a hopeful message: even when we feel lost, guilty, or ready to run away with a kite, shared music, movement, and laughter can glue us back together… just like sweat.
