Le Scimmie Parlanti Lyrics in English Gianluca Grignani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Scimmie Parlanti by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
SOS SOS
Can you hear me, I'm asking for help
If you know what I mean
Or not!
Something here's not right anymore
I keep the course but I'm falling down
Without wings it won't fly
I plummet
Me and my clown face
That doesn't reflect anymore among the talking monkeys on TV
I no longer know who I am
Amid this racket
That I turn out of rage into thunder
I forgive
Who I am
I'm going down I'm going down
I hit rock bottom from up here
Maybe yeah, I should have, though
Can you see me down there
I'm that speck in the blue
That's coming closer and closer
Beyond the idea of a moment that explodes
Beyond me other things exist
Me and my clown face
That doesn't reflect anymore among the talking monkeys on TV
I no longer know who I am
Amid this racket
That I turn out of rage into thunder
I forgive
I forgive
But baby it's you and me and we stay standing
In this crazy crazy world
Yeah baby just think about me
And then you'll see all this anguish will disappear
Me and my clown face
That doesn't reflect anymore among the talking monkeys on TV
I no longer know who I am
Amid this racket
As I turn the rage into thunder
Me and my clown face
That doesn't reflect anymore among the talking monkeys on TV
You kidding, you there

SONG MEANING

“Le Scimmie Parlanti” is Gianluca Grignani’s cri de coeur from the middle of a media circus. Surrounded by the “talking monkeys on TV,” the singer feels himself plummeting, clown-faced and wingless, through a noisy world that no longer reflects who he is. The repeated SOS and images of free-fall paint a picture of someone battling a loss of identity while modern society’s chatter turns anger into thunder.

Yet, beneath the chaos there is a spark of redemption. Grignani reaches out to a single companion – “baby siamo io e te” – promising that their shared strength can quiet the anguish. Love becomes the anchor that keeps them standing in this “pazzo pazzo mondo.” The song blends raw desperation with a stubborn hope, reminding listeners that even when the world feels like a carnival of loud, empty voices, genuine connection can pull us back from the edge.
