Home / Lyrics translation / Jovanotti / I Giovani

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

I giovani hanno I capelli lunghi e le basette come

Young people have long hair and sideburns like

Cespugli e nelle magliette la verità

Bushes and on their t-shirts the truth

I giovani girano per la città

Young people wander through the city

I giovani parlano con I muri ma non

Young people talk to the walls but don't

Ascoltano la risposta hanno una scritta sulla maglietta

Listen to the answer, they have a slogan on their t-shirt

E non domandano quanto costa

And don't ask how much it costs

I giovani sono dentro I sondaggi catalogati in percentuali

Young people are in the surveys cataloged in percentages

I giovani stanno bene

Young people are doing well

I giovani stanno male

Young people are doing badly

I giovani quali quelli più belli oppure

Which young people? The most beautiful ones or

I giovani quelli brutti? I ricchi

The ugly young people? The rich ones

I poveri I giovani cosa

The poor ones? Young people what?

I giovani che?

Young people what?

I giovani tutti

All young people

Tutti I giovani sempre giovani

All young people, always young

Non mi dire che ci sei anche tu

Don't tell me you're one of them too

Tra quelli lì della pubblicità dell'aranciata

Among those ones from the orange soda ad

E della coca cola quelli che gridano ai concerti quelli

And from Coca-Cola, those who shout at concerts, those

Che occupano la scuola

Who occupy the school

Quelli che non trovano da

Those who don't find a way to

Lavorare quelli che ancora paga papà quelli che non

Work, those whose dad still pays, those who don't

C'è mai un cazzo da fare in questa cazzo di città

Ever have a f*cking thing to do in this f*cking city

Vorrei passare dai dieci ai trenta per non subire questa

I'd like to skip from ten to thirty so as not to suffer this

Tortura il primo amore, la prima casa dover vestire

Torture: first love, first home, having to wear

Quest'armatura il primo amico che ti tradisce o che

This armor, the first friend who betrays you or who

Magari tradisci tu

Maybe you betray

Il primo treno che non ci sali

The first train you don't get on

E che magari non torna più

And that maybe never comes back

Did you like this lyrics translation?

armatura — armor

Armatura translates to "armor". It's an evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of knights and protection, but in a modern context, it takes on a metaphorical meaning.

In the song, Jovanotti uses it to describe the emotional defenses young people build around themselves as they navigate the challenges of growing up. He sings about "dover vestire quest'armatura" (having to wear this armor), highlighting the vulnerability and the need for self-preservation during the tumultuous years of youth. This makes it a compelling and relatable word for anyone who has faced the struggles of adolescence.
