Il Peso Della Valigia Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Peso Della Valigia by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Hai fatto tutta quella strada per arrivare fin qui
You came all that way to get here
E ti è toccato partire bambina
And you had to leave as a child
Con una piccola valigia di cartone
With a small cardboard suitcase
Che hai cominciato a riempire
That you started to fill
Due foglie di quella radura che non c'era già più
Two leaves from that clearing that was already gone
Rossetti finti ed un astuccio di gemme
Fake lipsticks and a jewel case
E la valigia ha cominciato a pesare
And the suitcase started to get heavy
Dovevi ancora partire
You still had to leave
E gli occhi han preso il colore del cielo
And your eyes took on the color of the sky
A furia di guardarlo
From constantly looking at it
E con quegli occhi ciò che vedevi
And with those eyes what you saw
Nessuno può saperlo
Nobody can know it
E sole pioggia neve tempesta
And sun rain snow storm
Sulla valigia e nella tua testa
On the suitcase and in your head
E gambe per andare
And legs to go
E bocca per baciare
And mouth to kiss
Hai fatto tutta quella strada per arrivare fin qui
You came all that way to get here
E ad ogni sosta c'era sempre qualcuno
And at every stop there was always someone
E quasi sempre tu hai provato a parlare
And almost always you tried to talk
Ma non sentiva nessuno
But nobody heard
E ti sei data ti sei presa qualche cosa chissà
And you gave yourself, you took something, who knows
Ma le parole che ti sono avanzate
But the words you had left
Sono finite tutte nella valigia
All ended up in the suitcase
E li ci sono restate
And there they stayed
E le tue gambe andavano sempre
And your legs always walked
Sono sempre più adagio
They're getting slower and slower
E le tue braccia reggevano a stento
And your arms could barely hold
Il peso della valigia
The weight of the suitcase
E sole pioggia neve tempesta
And sun rain snow storm
Sulla valigia e nella tua testa
On the suitcase and in your head
E gambe per andare
And legs to go
E bocca per baciare
And mouth to kiss
Sole pioggia neve tempesta
Sun rain snow storm
Sui tuoi capelli su quello che hai visto
On your hair, on what you saw
E braccia per tenere e fianchi per ballare
And arms to hold and hips to dance
Hai fatto tutta quella strada per arrivare fin qui
You came all that way to get here
Ma adesso forse ti puoi riposare
But now maybe you can rest
Un bagno caldo e qualcosa di fresco
A warm bath and something cool
Da bere e da mangiare
To drink and to eat
Ti apro io la valigia mentre tu resti li
I'll open the suitcase for you while you stay there
E piano piano ti faccio vedere
And little by little I'll show you
C'erano solo quattro farfalle
There were only four butterflies
Un po' più dure a morire
A bit tougher to die
E sole pioggia neve tempesta
And sun rain snow storm
Sulla valigia e nella tua testa
On the suitcase and in your head
E gambe per andare
And legs to go
E bocca per baciare
And mouth to kiss
Sole pioggia neve tempesta
Sun rain snow storm
Sui tuoi capelli su quello che hai visto
On your hair, on what you saw
E braccia per tenere e fianchi per ballare
And arms to hold and hips to dance

valigia — suitcase
Valigia means "suitcase" or "luggage". It's a central image in the song, representing the burdens and experiences a person carries through life.
The song tells the story of someone who started their journey as a child with a small cardboard suitcase, which gradually became heavier with memories, unspoken words, and life's hardships. The word valigia is not just a physical object, but a powerful metaphor for the emotional and psychological weight of a life lived, making it a deeply resonant and memorable word in this context.
