Ferro E Cartone Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ferro E Cartone by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Ricordi
Memories
Lontani e lo sai
Distant, and you know it
Non pensarti stanca
Don't think of yourself as tired
Non pensarti mai
Don't ever think of yourself
È tardi
It's late
E forse non vuoi
And maybe you don't want to
Anche se ti cerco
Even if I look for you
Non mi sentirai
You won't hear me
Coprirò le distanze per venire da te
I'll cover the distances to come to you
Misurando le forze, quando vento non c'è
Measuring my strength, when there's no wind
In un giorno di sole volerò via da qui
On a sunny day I'll fly away from here
Sono ferro e cartone queste mie nuove ali
These new wings of mine are iron and cardboard
I giorni
The days
Non passano mai
Never pass
Uno dopo l'altro
One after another
Dimenticherai
You'll forget
Ritorni
You return
A volte lo fai
Sometimes you do it
Anche se ti sento
Even if I hear you
Non risponderai
You won't answer
Coprirò le distanze per venire da te
I'll cover the distances to come to you
Misurando le forze quando vento non c'è
Measuring my strength when there's no wind
In un giorno di sole volerò via da qui
On a sunny day I'll fly away from here
Sono ferro e cartone le mie ali e così
My wings are iron and cardboard, and so
Farò in modo che il viaggio sia il piu' breve che so
I'll make the journey the shortest I know
E trovato il coraggio da te tornerò
And having found the courage, I'll return to you
Dovrò fare attenzione per non cadere giù
I'll have to be careful not to fall down
Tra rimorso e dolore e non perderti più
Between remorse and pain, and not lose you anymore
(Sono ferro e cartone le mie ali e così)
(My wings are iron and cardboard, and so)
Respiro
I breathe
Diventerò
I'll become
(Sono ferro e cartone le mie ali e così)
(My wings are iron and cardboard, and so)
In volo
In flight
Mi librerò
I'll soar
Leggero in bilico
Light, in balance
(Sono ferro e cartone le mie ali e così)
(My wings are iron and cardboard, and so)
Respiro
I breathe
Diventerò
I'll become
(Sono ferro e cartone le mie ali e così)
(My wings are iron and cardboard, and so)

Did you like this lyrics translation?
librerò — I will free myself / I will soar
Librerò comes from the verb librarsi, which means to 'soar', 'hover', or 'free oneself' in a graceful, almost weightless way. It evokes a sense of lightness and liberation.
In the context of "Ferro E Cartone," the singer uses this word as he describes his new wings made of "iron and cardboard." Despite their fragile appearance, he declares, "In volo mi librerò" (In flight, I will soar), symbolizing his determination to overcome obstacles and achieve freedom, even with imperfect means.
