Amica Mia Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amica Mia by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
E se potessi io
And if I could
Parlar con Dio
Talk with God
Da buon amico
As a good friend
Gli chiederei
I'd ask him
Un solo piccolo favore
Just one small favor
Una magia
A magic trick
Farti capire
To make you understand
Quanto ti son vicino amica mia
How close I am to you, my friend
Che anche se non lo ammetteresti mai
That even if you'd never admit it
Ti ho vista piangere
I saw you cry
Perché sei una donna forte, sì
Because you're a strong woman, yes
Ma in fondo anche così
But deep down also so
Fragile, sei fragile
Fragile, you're fragile
E come chi alla vita
And like someone who at life
In faccia non ci guarda mai
Never looks it in the face
Te ne vai con quel classico sorriso ingenuo
You leave with that classic naive smile
E come chi alla vita
And like someone who at life
Ogni tanto glielo dice sai
Every now and then you say it, you know
Non mi frega più di niente ormai
I don't give a d*mn about anything anymore
Dai lo sai anche tu
Come on, you know it too
Quante volte anch'io
How many times I too
Ci son cascato
Fell for it
E ho fatto il matto
And acted crazy
Non sono sempre stato quello freddo e distaccato
I haven't always been that cold and detached one
Anch'io ci soffro e credimi non l'ho dimenticato
I suffer too and believe me, I haven't forgotten it
Ma adesso non parliam di me
But now let's not talk about me
Quel che è importante
What's important
È che una donna come te
Is that a woman like you
È bella anche così
Is beautiful even like this
Fragile, sei fragile
Fragile, you're fragile
E come chi alla vita
And like someone who at life
In faccia non ci guarda mai
Never looks it in the face
Te ne vai con quel classico sorriso ingenuo
You leave with that classic naive smile
E come chi alla vita
And like someone who at life
Ogni tanto glielo dice sai
Every now and then you say it, you know
Non mi frega più di niente ormai
I don't give a d*mn about anything anymore
Amica mia
My friend
Amica mia
My friend
Fragile, sei fragile
Fragile, you're fragile
E come chi alla vita
And like someone who at life
In faccia non ci guarda mai
Never looks it in the face
Te ne vai col tuo classico sorriso ingenuo
You leave with your classic naive smile
E come con il vento
And like with the wind
L'onda un po' si piega
The wave bends a little
In un mare di dolore
In a sea of pain
Non si annega
One doesn't drown
Amica mia (oh, oh)
My friend (oh, oh)
Amica mia (oh, oh, oh, oh)
My friend (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Amica mia (uh, uh)
My friend (uh, uh)
Amica mia
My friend

Did you like this lyrics translation?

ingenuo — naive / innocent

Ingenuo translates to "naive" or "innocent". It's an interesting word because it can carry both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context.

In "Amica Mia", Grignani uses it to describe his friend's "classic ingenuous smile" (classico sorriso ingenuo). Here, it evokes a sense of vulnerability and perhaps a touching simplicity, suggesting she faces life with an open, almost childlike innocence despite her inner struggles. It highlights a key aspect of her character that the singer observes and cherishes.
