IO Ero Io Lyrics in English by Levante
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song IO Ero Io by Levante from Italian to English.
Mi chiami nel mezzo della notte
You call me in the middle of the night
Si spostano le cose
Things shift
Cambia il tempo il cielo cade come intonaco
Time changes, the sky falls like plaster
Rimpiangi giorni in cui le ore
You regret days when the hours
Passavano leggere e le parole non servivano a spiegare nulla
Passed lightly and words weren't needed to explain anything
Più conta i miei ricordi sono colla
Nothing else matters, my memories are glue
Si attaccano alla pelle, dammi indietro le mie favole
They stick to the skin, give me back my fairy tales
Sei il male di me
You're what's bad for me
C'ero io tra le tue lacrime
I was there among your tears
Come hai fatto a non accorgerti dov'ero
How did you not notice where I was
Al fianco del guerriero fiero
Beside the proud warrior
Rimani sul bordo di un bicchiere
You remain on the rim of a glass
Ricordo di un errore
Memory of a mistake
La fatica di spostarmi dal tuo stomaco
The effort to get me out of your system
Rimetti in castigo i desideri
You put desires back in time-out
Riportati dov'eri
You brought yourself back to where you were
Quando il sole non bussava alla tua porta chiusa
When the sun didn't knock on your closed door
Nulla più conta, i miei ricordi sono colla
Nothing else matters, my memories are glue
Si attaccano alla pelle
They stick to the skin
Dammi indietro le mie favole
Give me back my fairy tales
Sei il male di me
You're what's bad for me
C'ero io tra le tue lacrime
I was there among your tears
Come hai fatto a non accorgerti dov'ero
How did you not notice where I was
Al fianco del guerriero fiero
Beside the proud warrior
Ai sospiri addio, saprò dirlo io
Goodbye to sighs, I'll know how to say it
Voltati e in un attimo sarò scomparsa via
Turn around and in an instant I'll be gone
Tra le pieghe del tuo cuore
Among the folds of your heart
Senza più paure
Without any more fears
Il male di me
What's bad for me
C'ero io tra le tue lacrime
I was there among your tears
Come hai fatto a non accorgerti dov'ero
How did you not notice where I was
Al fianco del guerriero fiero
Beside the proud warrior
Del guerriero fiero
Of the proud warrior
E quel guerriero ero
And I was that warrior

Did you like this lyrics translation?
intonaco — plaster
Intonaco translates to "plaster" or "stucco". It's not a word you typically hear in pop songs, making it quite unique and memorable.
In the song, Levante uses it in a striking simile: "il cielo cade come intonaco" (the sky falls like plaster). This imagery evokes a sense of decay, collapse, and perhaps even a crumbling world, adding a dramatic and almost apocalyptic feel to the lyrics. It's a powerful and unexpected word choice that paints a vivid picture.
