Siamo Vivi Lyrics in English by Gianna Nannini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Siamo Vivi by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
Vero, non mi sembra ancora vero
It's true, it still doesn't seem real
Se ieri vedevo pezzi di cielo
If yesterday I saw pieces of sky
E gli spazi abbreviati racchiusi nei muri
And the shortened spaces enclosed within walls
Fuori, cosa dico? Sono fuori
Outside, what am I saying? I'm out
Ho voglia di urlare, fermare la prima persona
I want to scream, stop the first person
'Ascolti Signora, lo sa, sono libera'
"Listen, Ma'am, you know, I'm free"
Quando il senso del giusto e del vero non c'è
When there's no sense of right and truth
Quando tutto è un motivo per chiuderti dentro
When everything's a reason to lock you up
Impari a morire giorno per giorno
You learn to die day by day
E vengo avanti fino a te
And I come forward to you
Io vengo avanti porto me
I come forward, I bring myself
Mi sento nascere a caso
I feel myself being born by chance
Io respiro, tu respiri
I breathe, you breathe
Siamo vivi, siamo vivi
We're alive, we're alive
Mi sento nascere a caso
I feel myself being born by chance
Io respiro, tu respiri
I breathe, you breathe
Siamo vivi, siamo vivi
We're alive, we're alive
Mare di automobili e lamiere
Sea of cars and metal
Le vedo arrivare e sto attraversando le strade
I see them coming and I'm crossing the streets
Non mi posso fermare, scusate, dovete frenare
I can't stop, sorry, you have to brake
Quando ti legano i polsi
When they tie your wrists
E ti tolgono ciò che credevi più tuo
And they take what you thought was most yours
Raccogli le forze, gridi 'è mio'
You gather your strength, you scream "it's mine!"
E vengo avanti fino a te
And I come forward to you
Io vengo avanti porto me
I come forward, I bring myself
Mi sento nascere a caso
I feel myself being born by chance
Io respiro, tu respiri
I breathe, you breathe
Siamo vivi, siamo vivi
We're alive, we're alive
Io respiro, tu respiri
I breathe, you breathe
Siamo vivi, siamo vivi
We're alive, we're alive

lamiere — sheet metal
Lamiere translates to "sheet metal" or "metal sheets." It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word to find in a song, especially when paired with "automobili" (cars).
In the context of the song, Gianna Nannini sings about a "Mare di automobili e lamiere" (Sea of cars and sheet metal). This vivid imagery evokes a sense of urban chaos and the metallic, industrial landscape of a city, making it a memorable and unique word choice that paints a strong picture.
