Tensione Evolutiva Lyrics in English Jovanotti

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

We walked on incandescent stones

We climbed the waterfalls and the currents

We crossed the oceans and the continents

We got used to the greatest changes

We were fish and then reptiles and mammals

We discovered fire and invented fridges

We learned to swim, then to run

And then to stay still

Yet I've got this void between my stomach and my throat

An unfillable chasm, evolutionary tension

Nobody quenches thirst by swallowing saliva

It takes rain, wind

And blood in the veins

Rain, wind

And blood in the veins

And a reason to live

To lift my eyelids

And not stay here pitying myself

And fall in love every day every hour

Every day every hour even more

We're on familiar terms with inner demons

We know that at the right time they jump out

There are machines that look like a miracle

We know how to move in showbiz

Yet I've got this void between my stomach and my throat

An unfillable chasm, evolutionary tension

Nobody quenches thirst by swallowing saliva

It takes rain, wind

And blood in the veins

Rain, wind

And blood in the veins

And a reason to live

To lift my eyelids

And not stay here pitying myself

And fall in love every day every hour

Every day every hour even more

And fall in love every day every hour

Every day every hour even more

Rain, wind

And blood in the veins

And fall in love every day every hour

Every day every hour even more

Every day every hour, every day every hour more and more

SONG MEANING

“Tensione Evolutiva” is Jovanotti’s thrilling reminder that humanity is always on the move. In a whirlwind roll-call of our milestones — from “walking on blazing stones” to inventing refrigerators — he paints an epic timeline that races across oceans, continents, and technological triumphs. Yet, for all this progress, the singer confesses to feeling a “void between the stomach and the throat,” a restless evolutionary tension that no trophy can silence.

The cure? Real, pulsing life: “rain, wind, and blood in the veins.” Jovanotti urges us to shake off complacency, open our eyes each morning with purpose, and fall in love “every day, every hour, more and more.” The song celebrates the raw forces that keep us evolving — curiosity, passion, and the courage to feel everything — turning that nagging emptiness into fuel for the next leap forward.
