Meglio Così Lyrics in English Gazzelle

Home / Lyrics Translation / Gazzelle / Meglio Così

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Meglio Così by Gazzelle from Italian to English.

I had no money, you had no dreams

Better this way

You had no time, I couldn't cope

Better this way

The sun wasn't shining, there was no full moon

Your dog was biting me

The radio wasn't singing, the drugs weren't enough

Better this way

So cheers

While I drown in Jim Beam

And tomorrow you leave for Medellín

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

So cheers

While I drown in your jeans

And tomorrow you really leave, yeah

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

I had no prospects, you had no eyes

Better this way

You weren't in the mood, I wasn't in the mood

Better this way

The sun wasn't shining, there was no full moon

Your dog was biting me

The radio wasn't singing, the drugs weren't enough

Better this way

So cheers

While I drown in Jim Beam

And tomorrow you leave for Medellín

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

So cheers

While I drown in your jeans

And tomorrow you really leave, yeah

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

So cheers

While I drown in your jeans

And tomorrow you really leave, yeah

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

So cheers

While I drown in Jim Beam

And tomorrow you leave for Medellín

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

So cheers

While I drown in your jeans

And tomorrow you really leave, yeah

With an a**hole, a piece of dirt

I cry, now I cry

I cry, then regret, then regret

SONG MEANING

Meglio Così sounds upbeat at first, yet Gazzelle is really pouring out a cocktail of irony and heartbreak. The singer looks back on a doomed relationship where nothing ever lined up: he was broke, she had no dreams, even the sun refused to shine. Every shortcoming is brushed off with the sarcastic refrain "meglio così" (“better this way”), as if repeating it might make the pain feel smaller. When she decides to fly to Medellín with “uno stronzo, un pezzo di fango,” he drowns his feelings in Jim Beam, in memories of her jeans, and in endless tears that quickly turn into regrets.

Behind the catchy melody lies a raw confession about self-destructive coping and the sting of being left behind. Gazzelle paints love as a series of missed chances and tiny wrong turns, wrapping despair in casual language and sing-along hooks. The song reminds us that sometimes we proclaim “it’s better this way” not because we believe it, but because it is the only armor we have against the hurt we are still learning to face.
