Venerdi' Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Venerdi' by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Ecco che se ne va
Here it goes
In fumo l'ultima cicca
Up in smoke the last cigarette
L'ultima storia
The last story
Vissuta a metà
Lived halfway
E la città
And the city
Consuma su strade veloci
Wears out on fast roads
I riti comuni
The common rituals
Del venerdì
Of Friday
Vengo con voi
I'm coming with you
Portatemi fuori da questa prigione
Take me out of this prison
Vengo con voi, oggi sì
I'm coming with you, yes today
Il tempo di mettere un paio di jeans
Time to put on a pair of jeans
Venerdì
Friday
Fate come fossi qui
Act like I'm here
Straniero tra voi uomini
A stranger among you men
Sempre io, cosi
Always me, like this
Straniero tra voi
A stranger among you
Uomini
Men
Cosa si fa?
What are we doing?
Seguiamo fedeli le tappe
We faithfully follow the stages
Di questa via crucis
Of this painful journey
La fine si sa
The end is known
Andiamo via
Let's go away
Che ho voglia di fare l'amore
Because I want to make love
Ed il tuo profumo
And your scent
Conosco già
I already know
E non mi vergogno, no
And I'm not ashamed, no
Di fare il buffone se sono ubriaco
To act like a fool if I'm drunk
E non ho colpe
And I'm not guilty
Oggi sì
Yes today
Il tempo di togliere questi jeans
Time to take off these jeans
Venerdì
Friday
Fate come fossi qui
Act like I'm here
Straniero tra voi uomini
A stranger among you men
Sempre io, cosi
Always me, like this
Straniero tra voi
A stranger among you
Uomini
Men
Sempre io, così
Always me, like this
Straniero tra voi
A stranger among you
Uomini
Men

Did you like this lyrics translation?

buffone — clown / jester

Buffone literally translates to "clown" or "jester". It's a fun and evocative word that isn't as common in everyday conversation or song lyrics as more direct terms.

In the song, Francesco Renga sings, "E non mi vergogno, no, di fare il buffone se sono ubriaco" (And I'm not ashamed, no, to act like a clown if I'm drunk). He uses it to express a carefree attitude, embracing silliness and uninhibited behavior when under the influence, making it a memorable and relatable image.
