Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mia Storia Tra Le Dita by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.

You know, I think that

It wasn't pointless

Being with you

Ok, you're leaving

Questionable decision

Yeah, I know, you know

At least stay here for tonight

No, I'm not trying anything, trust me

Maybe I already feel too lonely

Because I know that smile

Of someone who's already decided

That smile once already

Opened paradise for me

They say that

For every man

There's another like you

So in my place

You'll find someone else

The same? No, I don't think so

But this time you lower your eyes and say

We'll always stay good friends

What damn good friends

I'd forgive a friend

But you, I love

It might seem trite

But it's a natural instinct

And there's something that

I never told you

My problems without you

Are called trouble

And that's why

You see me acting tough

Out in the world

To feel safer

And if you really don't want to tell me

That I was wrong

Remember sometimes a man

Should be forgiven too

But instead you

You give me no way out

And you leave with my story between your fingers

Now what are you doing

You look for an excuse

If you want to go, go

As for me

You don't need to worry

I'll manage

Tonight I'll write a song

To smother an explosion inside

Without thinking too much about the words

I'll talk about that smile

Of someone who's already decided

That smile that once

Opened paradise for me

And there's something that

I never told you

My problems without you

Are called trouble

And that's why

You see me acting tough

Out in the world

To feel safer

And if you really don't want to tell me

That I was wrong

Remember sometimes a man

Should be forgiven too

But instead you

You give me no way out

And you leave with my story between your fingers

SONG MEANING

“La Mia Storia Tra Le Dita” is a bittersweet confession sung at the very moment a relationship slips away. Over gentle guitar chords, the narrator watches his partner walk out the door and tries to act tough, but every line reveals just how deeply he’s hurting. He jokes, bargains, and even promises he won’t “try anything,” yet he can’t hide the panic of losing the smile that once “opened paradise” for him.

Rather than a simple breakup song, Grignani turns the farewell into a raw self-portrait: he admits his bravado is only a shield, calls his problems “guai” without her, and pleads for forgiveness he may not deserve. When she leaves, she isn’t just taking memories; she’s taking the very “story between his fingers” — the songs, dreams, and identity he built around their love. The result is an emotional snapshot of pride colliding with vulnerability, where music becomes the only way to muffle the explosion in his heart.
