Dialogo Lyrics in English by Gianna Nannini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dialogo by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
Tu, uomo tu, dio
You, man you, god
Padre poi ragazzo mio
Father then my boy
Sul mio seno aggrappato
Clinging to my breast
Tra un insulto e un bacio
Between an insult and a kiss
E donna non vuol dire pazza
And woman doesn't mean crazy
Né martire che di certo viene a noia
Nor a martyr who certainly gets boring
Tu sei forte, perché sai dire mia
You are strong, because you know how to say mine
Tu sei niente appena scappo via
You are nothing as soon as I run away
Apriamoci
Let's open up
Gridando odio per un po' d'amore
Shouting hate for a bit of love
Ma almeno apriamoci
But at least let's open up
Gridando odio per un po' d'amore
Shouting hate for a bit of love
Per sentirci naturali
To feel natural
Più nudi, più veri
More naked, more real
E donna, donna tu
And woman, woman you
Se vuoi di più che cosa devo fare
If you want more what should I do
Nelle fiabe mi ero visto re, vincitore
In fairy tales I had seen myself as king, winner
Vendendo fumo, vendendo guerra
Selling smoke, selling war
Vendevo me, vendevo la violenza
I sold myself, I sold violence
E son rimasto senza più poesia
And I was left without any more poetry
A fare l'uomo
To play the man
A farti roba mia
To make you my thing
Abbracciami
Hug me
Gridando odio per un po' d'amore
Shouting hate for a bit of love
Ma adesso abbracciami
But now hug me
Ridando odio per un po' d'amore
Giving back hate for a bit of love
Per sentirci naturali
To feel natural
Più nudi, più veri
More naked, more real

Did you like this lyrics translation?
aggrappato — clinging / grasped
Aggrappato means "clinging" or "grasped firmly." It's a vivid and somewhat intense verb that paints a strong picture of attachment.
In the song, it's used in the line "Sul mio seno aggrappato" (clinging to my breast), describing a child's attachment to its mother. This word beautifully captures the raw, primal connection and dependence, making it a memorable and emotionally charged choice.
