Ancora In Piedi Lyrics in English by Ligabue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ancora In Piedi by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Sopravvissuti a troppi sorrisi
Survived too many smiles
Avuti troppe volte senza un perché
Had too many times without a reason
Sopravvissuti alle nostre domande
Survived our questions
Che son grosse, son tante
That are big, are many
E spesso ridicole
And often ridiculous
Sopravvissuti e sopravviventi
Survivors and those still surviving
Così e adesso e qui
Like this and now and here
Sopravvissuti ai nostri progetti
Survived our plans
Acqua, sabbia, paletta e castelli così
Water, sand, shovel and castles like that
Persi o no siamo ancora in piedi
Lost or not we're still standing
Non so chi, ma qualcuno si sentirà così
I don't know who, but someone will feel like this
Persi o no siamo ancora in piedi
Lost or not we're still standing
Siamo ancora che, siamo ancora chi
We're still what, we're still who
Siamo ancora chi, siamo ancora che ne so
We're still who, we're still what do I know
Sopravvissuti ai nostri pensieri
Survived our thoughts
A consigli, sbadigli, falsi sensi unici
To advice, yawns, false one-way streets
Sopravvissuti alle voci gridate
Survived the shouted voices
Come ai troppi silenzi, come ai mormorii
Like the too many silences, like the murmurs
Sopravvissuti e sopravviventi
Survivors and those still surviving
Ma chi? E che ne so
But who? And what do I know
Sopravvissuti ai sensi di colpa
Survived feelings of guilt
C'è chi può non ascolta e, cazzo
There are those who can, don't listen and, f*ck
C'è chi non può
There are those who can't
Persi o no siamo ancora in piedi
Lost or not we're still standing
Non so chi, ma qualcuno si sentirà così
I don't know who, but someone will feel like this
Persi o no siamo ancora in piedi
Lost or not we're still standing
Siamo ancora che, siamo ancora chi
We're still what, we're still who
Siamo ancora chi, siamo ancora che ne so
We're still who, we're still what do I know
È un mare pieno di zattere
It's a sea full of rafts
È un mare pieno di salvagenti
It's a sea full of life preservers
È un mare con qualche isola
It's a sea with some islands
Sopravvissuti a vecchi e nuovi dolori
Survived old and new pains
Che aspettiamo i vaccini, nel frattempo chissà
That we await the vaccines, in the meantime who knows
Sopravvissuti a tutto questo letame
Survived all this sh*t
Quanti bagni e profumi e mascherine antigas
How many baths and perfumes and gas masks
Sopravvissuti e sopravviventi
Survivors and those still surviving
Un po su, un po giù, un po su
A bit up, a bit down, a bit up
Sopravvissuti ai '60 ai '70
Survived the '60s, the '70s
E gli '80 finiranno mai più?
And will the '80s never end?
Persi o no siamo ancora in piedi
Lost or not we're still standing
Non so chi ma qualcuno si sentirà così
I don't know who, but someone will feel like this
Persi o no siamo ancora in piedi
Lost or not we're still standing
Siamo ancora che, siamo ancora chi
We're still what, we're still who
Siamo ancora chi, siamo ancora che ne so
We're still who, we're still what do I know
Ancora in piedi
Still standing
Ancora in piedi
Still standing
Ancora in piedi
Still standing
Ancora in piedi
Still standing
Ancora in piedi
Still standing

Did you like this lyrics translation?

letame — manure / filth

Letame literally translates to "manure" or "dung," but it's often used metaphorically to mean "filth," "rubbish," or "muck."

In this song, Ligabue uses it to describe the overwhelming negativity and unpleasantness of life's challenges, singing "Sopravvissuti a tutto questo letame" (We survived all this filth). It's a raw and impactful word that conveys a strong sense of resilience against adversity, making it quite memorable.
