Da Lontano Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Da Lontano by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Dimmi come fa la vita che va avanti
Tell me how life goes on
Avanti come se fosse sempre uguale
On as if it were always the same
Uguale più di te che stanotte ancora mancherai
The same more than you, who tonight will still be missed
E manchi come se non ci fosse stato niente
And you're missed as if there had been nothing
Niente dopo te, solo un fermo immagine
Nothing after you, just a freeze frame
L'abitudine di abbassare gli occhi
The habit of lowering my eyes
E fare finta che
And pretending that
È così che vivo qui
It's how I live here
Non voglio di più che arrendermi
I don't want more than surrendering
A questa nostalgia
To this nostalgia
E stare appeso ad un filo come un aquilone
And hanging by a thread like a kite
Sei dovunque sei
You are wherever you are
E ci pensi mai ancora a noi
And do you ever still think about us
A come eravamo
About how we were
Com'è strano
How strange it is
Rivedere tutto da lontano
To see everything again from afar
Dimmi come fa il rumore dei miei passi
Tell me how the sound of my steps is
Dì la verità che mi aspetti ancora
Tell the truth, that you're still waiting for me
Che colore ha il silenzio dei miei occhi in fondo ai tuoi
What color is the silence of my eyes deep in yours
E' così che vivi lì
It's how you live there
Non chiedi di più che arrenderti
You don't ask for more than surrendering
A quella nostalgia
To that nostalgia
E stare appesa ad un filo come un aquilone
And hanging by a thread like a kite
Sei dovunque sei
You are wherever you are
E sorriderai pensando a noi
And you'll smile thinking about us
A come eravamo
About how we were
Com'è strano
How strange it is
Rivedere tutto da lontano
To see everything again from afar
Sei comunque sei
You are who you are
Quella che ho amato di più
The one I loved the most
E non vorrei
And I wouldn't want
Che avessi dimenticato cosa è stato
You to have forgotten what it was
Il ricordo che mi hai regalato
The memory you gave me
Tu, ma come dirtelo
You, but how to tell you
Senza venirti a cercare
Without coming to find you
Che sei un miracolo
That you are a miracle
Dimmi come fa
Tell me how it is
La vita che va avanti
Life that goes on
Avanti senza me
On without me
Sei comunque sei
You are who you are
Quella che ho amato di più
The one I loved the most
E non vorrei
And I wouldn't want
Che avessi dimenticato cosa è stato
You to have forgotten what it was
Il ricordo che mi hai regalato
The memory you gave me
Sei dovunque sei
You are wherever you are
E sorriderai pensando a noi
And you'll smile thinking about us
A come eravamo
About how we were
Com'è strano
How strange it is
Rivedere tutto da lontano
To see everything again from afar

Did you like this lyrics translation?
aquilone — kite
Aquilone translates to "kite". It's a charming and evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday Italian song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, the narrator uses the metaphor of being "appeso ad un filo come un aquilone" (hanging by a thread like a kite) to describe a feeling of vulnerability and being suspended in a state of longing and nostalgia. It beautifully captures the delicate balance of holding onto hope while feeling adrift.
