Splendido! Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Splendido! by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
In tasca verità
Truth in my pocket
Bustine vuote, e tutto quello che mi va
Empty packets, and all I want
È il mio delirio
is my delirium
Forse resto qua
Maybe I'll stay here
O me ne vado, amore un po' di pietà
Or I leave, love, a little pity
Sai che ti amo
You know I love you
Tu tutti i momenti del mondo
You, all the moments of the world
Sei tu il mio girotondo
You are my merry-go-round
Girotondo
Merry-go-round
Splendido
Splendid
La notte è una folle corsa
The night is a crazy race
Splendido
Splendid
Nessuno che aspetta
Nobody waits
Occhi come i tuoi
Eyes like yours
Fanno paura credi a quello che ti va
They scare me, believe what you want
Dietro gli occhiali
Behind the glasses
Hai ragione tu
You're right
Sono un idiota, scappo e non ci penso più
I'm an idiot, I'll run away and won't think about it anymore
Non ci penso più
I won't think about it anymore
Tu bella come un peccato
You, beautiful like a sin
Sì, tu, tutto regalato
Yes, you, all a gift
Regalato
A gift
Splendido
Splendid
La notte è una folle corsa
The night is a crazy race
Splendido
Splendid
Nessuno mi aspetta
Nobody waits for me
Fanne un altro, va'
Do another one, go on
Scrivo due righe in bagno
I'll write a couple lines in the bathroom
Poi ritorno qua
Then I'll come back here
Mi guardo intorno
I look around
Tu, bella come un peccato
You, beautiful like a sin
Si, tu, è tempo sprecato
Yes, you, it's wasted time
Regalato
A gift

Did you like this lyrics translation?
girotondo — ring-around-the-rosy / merry-go-round
Girotondo literally refers to the children's game "ring-around-the-rosy" or a "merry-go-round." It evokes a sense of childlike joy, innocence, and continuous movement.
In this song, Renga uses it metaphorically to describe his lover as "il mio girotondo" (my merry-go-round). This suggests that she is the center of his world, bringing him endless happiness and perhaps a feeling of being caught in a delightful, continuous loop of emotion. It's a charming and unique way to express deep affection.
