Ho Ancora La Forza Lyrics in English by Ligabue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ho Ancora La Forza by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Ho ancora la forza che serve a camminare
I still have the strength needed to walk
Picchiare ancora contro e non lasciarmi stare
To keep hitting back and not let myself be
Ho ancora quella forza che ti serve
I still have that strength you need
Quando dici, 'Si comincia'
When you say, "Let's begin"
Ho ancora la forza di guardarmi attorno
I still have the strength to look around me
Mischiando le parole con due o tre vizi al giorno
Mixing words with two or three vices a day
Di farmi trovar lì da chi mi vuole
To be found there by whoever wants me
Sempre nella mia camicia
Always in my shirt
Abito sempre qui da me
I always live here with myself
Fra chi c'è sempre stato e chi non sai se c'è
Among those who've always been there and those you don't know if they are
Al mondo sono andato
I went into the world
Dal mondo son tornato sempre vivo
From the world I always came back alive
Ho ancora la forza di starvi a raccontare
I still have the strength to tell you
Le storie che ho già visto e quelle da vedere
The stories I've already seen and those yet to be seen
E tutti quegli sbagli che per un motivo o l'altro
And all those mistakes that for one reason or another
So rifare
I can make again
Ho ancora la forza di chiedere anche scusa
I still have the strength to even apologize
E fare la partita giocando fuori casa
And play the game away from home
E dirvi che comunque la mia parte
And tell you that anyway my part
Ve la voglio garantire
I want to guarantee it to you
Abito sempre qui da me
I always live here with myself
Fra chi c'è sempre stato e chi non sai se c'è
Among those who've always been there and those you don't know if they are
Nel mondo sono andato
I went into the world
Dal mondo son tornato sempre vivo, sempre vivo
From the world I always came back alive, always alive
Ho ancora la forza e guarda che ne serve
I still have the strength, and look, it takes a lot
Per rendere leggero il peso dei ricordi
To lighten the weight of memories
E far la conta degli amici andati a dire
And count the friends who left saying
'Ci vediam più tardi, più tardi'
"See you later, later"
Abito sempre qui da me
I always live here with myself
Fra chi c'è sempre stato e chi non sai se c'è
Among those who've always been there and those you don't know if they are
Col mondo sono andato
With the world I went
Col mondo son tornato sempre vivo, sempre vivo
With the world I always came back alive, always alive
Abito sempre
I always live
Dal mondo son tornato sempre vivo, sempre vivo
From the world I always came back alive, always alive

ricordi — memories

Ricordi means 'memories'. While it might seem like a common word, its usage in this song is particularly poignant and central to the theme of resilience and reflection.

Ligabue sings, "Per rendere leggero il peso dei ricordi" (To make the weight of memories lighter). This phrase beautifully captures the human experience of carrying the past and the effort it takes to process and lighten that emotional load. It's a word that resonates deeply with the song's message of enduring through life's challenges.
