Stelle Filanti Lyrics in English Gazzelle

Home / Lyrics Translation / Gazzelle / Stelle Filanti

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Stelle Filanti by Gazzelle from Italian to English.

My eyes on a manhole

Your hands on my face

And mine on your mandolin butt

And we barely get through together

Even this other meme

Maybe we grab a drink

I've ruined everything

In the last seven months

Except your stolen kisses at night still hanging

But we stay lit anyway

Despite your wounded dreams

Like lampposts, streamers, two shadow puppets

And I hadn't understood all your troubles

But tomorrow I swear we'll leave

And I promise we'll sleep

And we do whatever we want

And if you want we can fight later

But please don't say "I love you"

Cause then we'll start again

Please don't say "I love you"

Cause then we'll start again

Please don't say "I love you"

You look at the clouds

And I lost the keys

And we've got rust on our hands

Cause it's been raining for months

Cause it's raining on me, yeah

Only on me, yeah

And you work on your thesis

And I've ruined everything

And all the words we spent

The lips, the regrets, the rage, your bites still hanging

But we stay lit anyway

Despite your wounded dreams

Like lampposts, streamers, two shadow puppets

And I hadn't understood all your troubles

But tomorrow I swear we'll leave

And I promise we'll sleep

And we do whatever we want

And if you want we can fight later

But please don't say "I love you"

Cause then we'll start again

Please don't say "I love you"

Cause then we'll start again

Please don't say "I love you"

But tomorrow I swear we'll leave

And I promise we'll sleep

And we do whatever we want

And if you want we can fight later

But please don't say "I love you"

Please don't say "I love you"

Please don't tell me

SONG MEANING

“Stelle Filanti” feels like stumbling through Rome at 2 a.m. with someone you adore and annoy in equal measure. Gazzelle strings together vivid snapshots — hands on cheeks, rain-soaked streets, sparklers fizzing like streetlights — to show a love that is messy but still glowing. He admits he has “ruined everything in the last seven months,” yet those stolen kisses and late-night adventures keep the flame alive.

The heart of the song is a tug-of-war between craving closeness and fearing the heavy words “Ti amo.” The couple dreams of running away, sleeping in, and arguing just for fun, anything to keep the spark without the pressure. Gazzelle’s lyrics capture that bittersweet phase where romance is equal parts magic and rust, where promises of tomorrow shine as brightly as carnival streamers before drifting to the ground.
