Fango Lyrics in English Jovanotti

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jovanotti / Fango

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fango by Jovanotti from Italian to English.

I know I'm not alone

Even when I'm alone

I know I'm not alone

Even when I'm alone

Under a sky of stars and satellites

Among the guilty, the victims, and the survivors

A dog barks at the moon

A man looks at his hand

It looks like his dad's when he was a kid

He'd pick him up like nothing and lift him high

The view from up there was beautiful

He dove into things before thinking

His hand was tiny, yet it could grab the whole world

Now the city is a foreign movie without subtitles

The stairs to climb are slides

Slides, slides

Ice on things

The TV says the streets are dangerous

But the only danger I truly feel

Is not being able to feel anything anymore

The scent of flowers, the smell of the city

The buzz of scooters, the taste of pizza

A mother's tears, a student's ideas

The possible crossings in a square

Of keeping antennas raised toward the sky

I know I'm not alone

Even when I'm alone

I know I'm not alone

And I laugh and cry

And I merge with the sky and with the mud

I know I'm not alone

Even when I'm alone

I know I'm not alone

And I laugh and cry

And I merge with the sky and with the mud

The city is a foreign movie without subtitles

A pot that cooks bits of dialogue

How are you, how much, what time's it, what's happening

What's up, who believes it, see you then

You feel lonely on the side of the target

And you become a leper when you make a mistake

A six-meter sign says

It's all around you

But you look around and there's nothing

An old world that stays together only thanks to those who

Still have the guts to fall in love

And to music that pumps blood through the veins

And that makes you want to wake up

And to get up and stop complaining

That the only danger you truly feel

Is not being able to feel anything anymore

The beat of a heart inside the chest

The passion that makes a project grow

Appetite, thirst, evolution in motion

The energy that bursts in a touch

I know I'm not alone

Even when I'm alone

I know I'm not alone

And I laugh and cry

And I merge with the sky and with the mud

I know I'm not alone

Even when I'm alone

I know I'm not alone

And I laugh and cry

And I merge with the sky and with the mud

SONG MEANING

“Fango” – which literally means mud – plunges us into a bustling Italian city where skyscrapers, scooters and satellite-lit skies all collide. Jovanotti begins by repeating, “Io lo so che non sono solo” (I know I’m not alone), turning the phrase into a mantra against loneliness. Through vivid snapshots – a dog barking at the moon, a child lifted high by his father, the irresistible smell of pizza – the singer reminds us that even when urban life feels like a confusing foreign film without subtitles, our senses keep us connected. The real danger is not crime or chaos but becoming numb, losing the ability to taste, smell, hear and feel the energy that buzzes around us.

In the chorus Jovanotti laughs, cries and literally fuses “with the sky and with the mud,” celebrating the messy beauty of being human. Love, curiosity and a pulsing beat are the forces that hold the world together, urging us to wake up, shake off complaints and keep our “antennas” pointed to the heavens. “Fango” is a joyful reminder that we are part of a bigger symphony – anchored to the ground yet always reaching upward – and that as long as we stay open to emotion, to music and to each other, we will never truly be alone.
