Dio Privato Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dio Privato by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
E se io avessi un Dio privato
And if I had a private God
Che vive come vivo io
Who lives like I live
Con i comfort che adesso ho anch'io
With the comforts I have now too
E va bene
And that's okay
E se io avessi un Dio privato
And if I had a private God
Che ride come rido io
Who laughs like I laugh
Per i motivi che so io
For the reasons I know
Eh già
Oh yeah
Mi capirebbe molto meglio
He'd understand me much better
Anche perché poi gli conviene
Also because it benefits him
E lascerebbe nel mio orto
And he'd let in my garden
Crescere anche quelle piante che non vengono su bene
Grow even those plants that don't grow well
Dio privato
Private God
Lì seduto sul sofà
Sitting there on the sofa
Oh, Dio privato
Oh, private God
Faccio quello che mi va
I do what I want
Oh, Dio privato
Oh, private God
Stai lì pure sul sofà
You just stay there on the sofa
E tieni il tempo
And keep time
Che io faccio musica
While I make music
E se io avessi un Dio privato
And if I had a private God
Che sbaglia come sbaglio io
Who makes mistakes like I do
E tocca il fondo a modo mio
And hits rock bottom in my own way
Eh già
Oh yeah
E se io avessi un Dio privato
And if I had a private God
Con tutti i vizi che c'ho io
With all the vices I've got
E le maniere che uso io
And the ways I use
Eh già
Oh yeah
Mi capirebbe molto meglio
He'd understand me much better
Anche perché poi gli conviene
Also because it benefits him
E lascerebbe nel mio orto
And he'd let in my garden
Crescere anche quelle piante che non vengono su bene
Grow even those plants that don't grow well
Dio privato
Private God
Lì seduto sul sofà
Sitting there on the sofa
Oh, Dio privato
Oh, private God
Faccio quello che mi va
I do what I want
Oh, Dio privato
Oh, private God
Stai lì pure sul sofà
You just stay there on the sofa
E tieni il tempo
And keep time
Che io faccio musica
While I make music
E se io avessi un Dio privato
And if I had a private God
Che sbaglia come sbaglio io
Who makes mistakes like I do
E vive il mondo a modo mio
And experiences the world in my own way
Eh già
Oh yeah
Oh, Dio privato
Oh, private God
Oh, Dio privato
Oh, private God
Faccio quello che mi va
I do what I want
E se io
And if I
Avessi un Dio
Had a God
E se io
And if I
Avessi un Dio
Had a God
Un Dio privato
A private God
Sì, Dio privato
Yes, private God
Ah, Dio privato
Ah, private God
Sì, Dio privato
Yes, private God
Sì, Dio privato
Yes, private God

Did you like this lyrics translation?
orto — vegetable garden
Orto literally translates to "vegetable garden" or "kitchen garden". It's a charming and somewhat old-fashioned word that evokes a sense of personal space and cultivation.
In the song, Grignani imagines a private God who would "lascerebbe nel mio orto crescere anche quelle piante che non vengono su bene" (would let even those plants that don't grow well, grow in my garden). This metaphor suggests a desire for a God who accepts his imperfections and allows him to be himself, even with his flaws, in his own personal space.
