A Un Isolato Da Te Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Un Isolato Da Te by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Si muove la tenda nella stanza
The curtain moves in the room
E non ti sembra ci sia aria
And it doesn't seem there's air
Ti senti estranea anche stavolta
You feel estranged even this time
All'atmosfera natalizia
To the Christmas atmosphere
Qualcuno che canta per la strada
Someone singing in the street
Ti sembra una canzone nuova
It seems like a new song to you
Eppure se provi a ricantarla
Yet if you try to sing it again
La trovi nella tua memoria
You find it in your memory
Hai sentito dire che l'amore
You've heard that love
Vive solo a un isolato da te
Lives only a block from you
Come mai non l'hai incontrato prima che
Why didn't you meet it before you
Commettessi il grave errore di credere
Made the grave mistake of believing
Che l'amore vero non esiste
That true love doesn't exist
E che tutto intorno a te sia triste
And that everything around you is sad
Piuttosto che essere normale
Rather than being normal
Hai scelto d'essere felice
You chose to be happy
Nessuno può farti da garante
Nobody can guarantee you
Ma il rischio non intimorisce
But the risk doesn't intimidate
Ammetti di essere capace di amare e non lasciarti amare
You admit you're capable of loving and not letting yourself be loved
Perché non riesci a sopportare
Because you can't bear
Il peso delle mie parole
The weight of my words
E hai sentito dire che l'amore
And you've heard that love
Vive solo a un isolato da te
Lives only a block from you
Come mai non l'hai incontrato prima che
Why didn't you meet it before you
Commettessi il grave errore di credere
Made the grave mistake of believing
Che l'amore vero non esiste
That true love doesn't exist
E che tutto intorno a te sia triste
And that everything around you is sad
Perché la ragione non ammette
Because reason doesn't admit
Obiezioni a quello che non vede
Objections to what it doesn't see
Anche se non sai cosa ti manca
Even if you don't know what you're missing
Puoi sentirne forte la mancanza
You can strongly feel its absence
Hai sentito dire che l'amore
You've heard that love
Vive solo a un isolato da te
Lives only a block from you
Come mai non l'hai incontrato prima che
Why didn't you meet it before you
Commettessi il grave errore di credere
Made the grave mistake of believing
Che l'amore vero non esiste
That true love doesn't exist
Guardati allo specchio, non sei più triste
Look in the mirror, you're not sad anymore

intimorisce — intimidates
Intimorisce comes from the verb intimorire, meaning "to intimidate" or "to frighten". It's a less common verb than simply "to scare" (spaventare), making it more interesting and nuanced.
In the song, the lyric "Ma il rischio non intimorisce" translates to "But the risk does not intimidate". It speaks to a willingness to embrace challenges, particularly in love, despite potential fears, making it a powerful and encouraging word in the context of the song's message about finding happiness and love.
