Sincero E Leggero Lyrics in English by Gianluca Grignani
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sincero E Leggero by Gianluca Grignani from Italian to English.
Sincero e leggero con me non conviene
Being sincere and light with me doesn't pay off
Ma d'altronde questo è il fiume che mi trovo nelle vene
But then again, this is the river I have in my veins
Ladro di istanti di felicità, immensa
Thief of immense moments of happiness
Nonostante queste terre chiuse che la vita dà
Despite these closed-off lands that life gives
E più paura non ho
And I'm not afraid anymore
Se mi perdo in quel che sento dentro per un altro po'
If I lose myself in what I feel inside for a little while longer
Perché piangere? So
Why cry? I know
Come tutte quelle volte che la vita mi ha già detto no
Like all those times life has already told me no
Perché sono un uomo
Because I'm a man
E non devo vivere chiedendo perdono
And I don't have to live asking for forgiveness
Fragile, ma agile come mi viene
Fragile, but agile as it comes to me
Del resto, sai c'è sempre a chi non fai mai troppo bene
Besides, you know there's always someone you never do enough good for
Cerco anch'io di credere a una verità
I also try to believe in a truth
E sbando perché è un male lei, leale che pietà non ha
And I stray because she's an evil, loyal, with no pity
Ma più paura non ho
But I'm not afraid anymore
Se mi perdo in quel che sento dentro per un altro po'
If I lose myself in what I feel inside for a little while longer
Perché piangere? So
Why cry? I know
Come tutte quelle volte che la vita mi ha già detto no
Like all those times life has already told me no
Perché sono un uomo
Because I'm a man
E non devo vivere chiedendo perdono
And I don't have to live asking for forgiveness
Io non ho mai chiesto niente di più
I've never asked for anything more
Di quello che non mi hai mai dato tu
Than what you've never given me
Io ho soltanto cercato di capire
I've only tried to understand
Quel che poi, sai nel fondo riesce a farmi soffrire
What then, you know, deep down manages to make me suffer
E ora brillo, che quasi scintillo
And now I shine, I almost sparkle
Ma quaggiù e non lassù, quaggiù
But down here and not up there, down here
Come una stella cadente
Like a falling star
Che cade in volo dal niente
That falls in flight from nothingness
Brucerò in volo per sempre
I'll burn in flight forever
Come una stella cadente, sarò
Like a falling star, I'll be

Did you like this lyrics translation?
scintillo — I sparkle / I twinkle
Scintillo comes from the verb scintillare, meaning 'to sparkle' or 'to twinkle'. It's a vivid and less common word than simply 'brillare' (to shine).
In the song, Grignani sings, "E ora brillo, che quasi scintillo" (And now I shine, that I almost sparkle). This phrase beautifully conveys a heightened state of brilliance, suggesting not just shining, but truly dazzling, like a star or a gem. It adds a poetic and intense layer to his self-description.
