Ho Ma Non Ho Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ho Ma Non Ho by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Ho raccolto stelle in un
I've collected stars in a
Cartone
Box
Le tengo qui per te
I keep them here for you
Tra le lettere spedite senza
Among the letters sent without
Nome
A name
E ho cassetti piene di parole
And I have drawers full of words
Che non dico più
That I don't say anymore
Sacrifici sull'altare dell'amore
Sacrifices on the altar of love
L'amore mio per te
My love for you
Ho promesse in tasca che ho tradito
I have promises in my pocket that I've betrayed
E ancora tradirò
And will betray again
Ed ho scuse dolci come caramelle
And I have excuses sweet like candies
Suona un disco rotto dentro l'anima
A broken record plays within my soul
Ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se non ho te
If I don't have you
Ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se non ho te
If I don't have you
Io ho ma no ho
I have but I don't have
Se poi io voglio te
If then I want you
Ho le mani sporche di ogni cosa
I have my hands dirty with everything
Ho tutto tranne te
I have everything except you
Ho raccolto petali di rose
I've collected rose petals
Tra le pagine
Between the pages
Di giornate che
Of days that
Sono rimaste vuote
Have remained empty
Dare al mondo tutto quel che ho
To give the world all that I have
Perché
Because
Ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se non ho te
If I don't have you
Ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se non ho te
If I don't have you
Io ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se poi io voglio te
If then I want you
Ho le mani sporche di ogni cosa
I have my hands dirty with everything
Ho tutto tranne te
I have everything except you
Tutto non è niente
Everything is nothing
Se tutto quel che voglio sei tu
If all that I want is you
Ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se non ho te
If I don't have you
Ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se non ho te
If I don't have you
Io ho ma non ho
I have but I don't have
Se poi io voglio te
If then I want you
Ho le mani sporche di ogni cosa
I have my hands dirty with everything
Ho tutto tranne te
I have everything except you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Sacrifici — Sacrifices
Sacrifici means 'sacrifices'. It's a strong and evocative word that immediately brings to mind deep emotional commitment and effort.
In the context of the song, the singer mentions "Sacrifici sull'altare dell'amore" (Sacrifices on the altar of love). This powerful imagery elevates the common act of making sacrifices to a sacred, almost ritualistic level, highlighting the profound devotion and pain involved in his love. It's a word that resonates with the intensity of the song's theme of unfulfilled desire.
