Sulla Frontiera Lyrics in English by Jovanotti
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sulla Frontiera by Jovanotti from Italian to English.
Yeah
Yeah
Uh
Uh
Cos'è?
What is it?
Ci ascoltano al telefono
They listen to us on the phone
Ci guardano i satelliti
Satellites watch us
Ci intasano nel traffico
They jam us in traffic
Controllano gli acquisti
They control purchases
Ci rubano le password
They steal our passwords
Ci frugano nel bancomat
They rummage in our ATM
Ci irradiano
They irradiate us
Ci scannerizzano
They scan us
Ci perquisiscono
They frisk us
Eppure non mi sono mai sentito così libero
Yet I've never felt so free
Eppure non mi sono mai sentito così libero
Yet I've never felt so free
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Sulla frontiera
On the frontier
Ci sommano le cellule controllano i rifiuti
They count our cells, they control waste
Ci spiano telecamere piazzate sui semafori
Cameras placed on traffic lights spy on us
Ci seguono col radar
They follow us with radar
Ci usan per i calcoli
They use us for calculations
Controllano le cose che guardiamo alla parabola
They control the things we watch on satellite TV
Eppure non mi sono mai sentito così libero
Yet I've never felt so free
Eppure non mi sono mai sentito così libero
Yet I've never felt so free
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Sulla frontiera
On the frontier
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Sulla frontiera
On the frontier
Noi siamo delle lucciole che stanno nelle tenebre
We are fireflies that are in the darkness
Controllano le cose che si fanno la domenica
They control the things done on Sunday
Ci fanno propaganda elettorale nella predica
They do electoral propaganda in the sermon
Ci impongono censure sulle cose da sapere
They impose censorship on things to know
Ci danno indicazioni sulle fonti di piacere
They give us directions on sources of pleasure
Ci dicon cosa bere
They tell us what to drink
Ci copiano lo stile
They copy our style
Ci giudicano in base a quale zona uno vive
They judge us based on which area one lives in
Ci timbrano la mano per uscire dal locale
They stamp our hand to leave the club
Eppure non mi sono mai sentito così libero
Yet I've never felt so free
Eppure non mi sono mai sentito così libero
Yet I've never felt so free
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Sulla frontiera
On the frontier
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Perché io danzo
Because I dance
Sulla frontiera
On the frontier

Did you like this lyrics translation?
lucciole — fireflies
Lucciole translates to "fireflies". It's a charming and somewhat whimsical word that isn't commonly found in everyday Italian song lyrics.
In the context of "Sulla Frontiera", Jovanotti uses "lucciole" metaphorically to describe people. He sings, "Noi siamo delle lucciole che stanno nelle tenebre" (We are fireflies that are in the darkness). This imagery suggests that despite being surrounded by control and surveillance, individuals still possess a small, unique light or spirit that persists even in challenging circumstances, making it a beautiful and thought-provoking choice.
