Regina Triste Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Regina Triste by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Improvvisamente non lo riconosci più
Suddenly you don't recognize him anymore
C'è silenzio tra di voi
There's silence between you
Lui non dice niente mentre guarda la TV
He says nothing while he watches TV
E tu tra poco dormirai
And you'll soon fall asleep
Una regina triste e stanca
A sad and tired queen
Aspetta ancora quello sguardo che le manca
Still waits for that look she misses
Un gesto che le metta I brividi
A gesture that gives her shivers
E fa talmente
And it hurts so
E fa talmente e fa talmente male
And it hurts so much and it hurts so much
Lui ritorna tardi
He returns late
4° piano, interno 6
4th floor, apartment 6
E l'ascensore non va mai
And the elevator never works
Mette via I ricordi
He puts away the memories
Resta per I fatti suoi nella mente solo lei
He keeps to himself, in his mind only her
La sua regina triste e stanca
His sad and tired queen
E aspetta ancora quello sguardo che gli manca
And she still waits for that look he misses
Un gesto che gli metta I brividi e fa talmente
A gesture that gives him shivers and it hurts so
E fa talmente e fa talmente male
And it hurts so much and it hurts so much
Cosa è stato amore
What was love
E che cos'è che ci fa male
And what is it that hurts us
E ci fa tremare
And makes us tremble
È la consuetudine che ci sta spaccando il cuore
It's the routine that's breaking our heart
E non lo fa rumore
And it makes no noise
La mia regina triste e stanca
My sad and tired queen
Aspetta sempre quello sguardo che le manca
Always waits for that look she misses
Un gesto che le metta I brividi
A gesture that gives her shivers
E fa talmente
And it hurts so
E fa talmente e fa talmente male
And it hurts so much and it hurts so much

Did you like this lyrics translation?

consuetudine — custom / habit / routine

Consuetudine translates to "custom," "habit," or "routine." It's a more formal and less common word than its synonyms, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the song, it's used to describe how the mundane routine of a relationship can slowly erode love, with the line "È la consuetudine che ci sta spaccando il cuore" (It's the routine that is breaking our heart). This powerful use of the word highlights the silent, destructive power of monotony in a relationship.
