Le Tasche Piene Di Sassi Lyrics in English Jovanotti

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Tasche Piene Di Sassi by Jovanotti from Italian to English.
Dragonflies fly
Over the ponds and puddles in the city
It looks like they don't care
About the wealth that comes now and then goes
Take me, don't allow me
Any comeback to your fatal ways
Here I am, I'm all a tremble
Hey
Some tunes pass by
But when they pass the earth will shake
They seem like useless explosions
But in some hearts something will stay
Nobody knows how they form
Constellations of galaxies and energy
Men play dice
A scrap of magic stays on the table
I'm alone tonight without you
You left me alone before the sky
And I can't read, come get me
You recognize me, my pockets are full of stones
I'm alone tonight without you
You left me alone outside school
I feel like crying, get here right away
You recognize me, my shoes are full of steps
My face is full of slaps
My heart is full of beats
And my eyes are full of you
They bloom, the flowers bloom
And they give all they have in freedom
They give, they don't care
About rewards and whatever will come
Murmur, people murmur
Hush them by practicing joy
Men play dice
A scrap of magic stays on the table
I'm alone tonight without you
You left me alone before the sky
And I can't read, come get me
You recognize me, I've a cloak made of rags
I'm alone tonight without you
You left me alone outside school
I feel like crying, get here right away
You recognize me, my shoes are full of steps
My face is full of slaps
My heart is full of beats
And my eyes are full of you
I'm alone tonight without you
You left me alone before the sky
Come get me, I feel like crying
You recognize me, my shoes are full of steps
My face is full of slaps
My heart is full of beats
And my eyes are full of you

SONG MEANING

Le Tasche Piene Di Sassi paints a moving picture of someone who suddenly finds themself alone in front of the sky, clutching pockets full of stones that symbolize grief, unanswered questions, and memories that weigh heavy. Jovanotti contrasts this aching loneliness with images of carefree dragonflies, blooming flowers, and cosmic mysteries to remind us that while life keeps unfolding with dazzling beauty, a personal loss can make even the simplest moments feel overwhelming.

The singer shifts between wonder and sorrow: one moment he is mesmerized by music that can make the earth tremble, the next he is a child left outside school fighting back tears. In each chorus he repeats the same plea — “come and get me, do you recognize me?” — showing how grief can reduce us to our most vulnerable selves. Yet beneath the sadness there is a quiet spark of hope. Magic is always left on the table, and even when our pockets are heavy with stones, our hearts still beat, our shoes are still ready to take the next step, and our eyes remain full of the one we love. Ultimately, the song is an honest, poetic embrace of loss: a reminder that pain and beauty can coexist, and that carrying those stones is just another way of keeping love close.
