Home / Lyrics Translation / Francesco Gabbani / Pachidermi E Pappagalli

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

You know the whole world's locked inside a display

Humanity's DNA comes from far away

That every three breaths melt two glaciers

The phone spies on us, they're CIA, silence is golden

You know Gandhi was a Mason, the Beatles a fabrication

And that Adolf survived, the Titanic never sank

Natural disasters? All the Templars' fault

Chemtrails and Martians, reptilians!

I'm alone in the world while you talk to me

And I try to focus

Luckily we've got steady, solid points

Pachyderms and parrots

my! my darling

Pachyderms and parrots

my! my darling

You know, the Earth is flat and by now ruled

By gay lobbies, by Jewish bankers, a single master?

And Marilyn and Elvis live in Hawaii

They opened a bar called Star, they're raking it in

Man's already been cloned, chopped up, brought back to life

You can live on hay, milk's worse than poison!

There's no proof at all of the Moon landing

The Egyptian pyramids are Martian!

I'm alone in the world while you talk to me

And I try to focus

Luckily we've got steady, solid points

Pachyderms and parrots

my! my darling

Pachyderms and parrots

my! my darling

Bridge

And to this new religion of ours

One day we'll try to give a name

To this immense song with the lights out

Where everything's eternal and lasts little more than nothing

Incredible declaration

The Earth is flat and ruled by gay lobbies in league with Martians

It seems he could still be alive

Marilyn and Elvis live in Hawaii

Shock declaration: man has been officially cloned

I'm alone in the world while you talk to me

And I try to focus

Luckily we've got steady, solid points

Pachyderms and parrots

my! my darling

Pachyderms and parrots

my! my darling

SONG MEANING

Francesco Gabbani turns the wild world of conspiracy theories into a playful carnival. In a breathless list he name-checks flat-earth believers, secret lodges, chemtrails, clones, moon-landing deniers, reptilians, and more. All these rumors flash across our phone screens so fast that reality feels like just another headline. The singer admits he is “alone in the world” while someone is talking to him, showing how hard it is to stay focused when nonsense sounds as catchy as a pop refrain.

“Pachidermi e pappagalli” – literally “elephants and parrots” – becomes a humorous motto for the only things we can still grasp: something solid and slow like an elephant, something lively and colorful like a parrot. Gabbani invites us to laugh at the chaos, question what we read, and look for genuine, stable reference points amid the buzz of modern myths. The song is a witty reminder that, in an era where everything is “eternal and lasts a second,” critical thinking is the best antidote to digital folklore.
