La Neve Se Ne Frega Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Neve Se Ne Frega by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Tu che allarghi le braccia
You who spread your arms
Vuoi sentirla cadere
You want to feel it fall
E le porgi la faccia
And you offer your face to it
Ti sembra cotone ti sembrano piume
It seems like cotton to you, it seems like feathers to you
Nessun tipo di sforzo
No kind of effort
Non fa neanche una piega
It doesn't even make a crease
C'è chi ne ha già abbastanza
There are those who've already had enough
Ma tanto la neve, lei se ne frega
But anyway, the snow, it doesn't care
Copre I coppi e le piazze
It covers the roof tiles and the squares
Le altalene e I bidoni
The swings and the bins
I sorrisi dei pazzi
The smiles of the madmen
E le bestemmie di qualche barbone
And the curses of some homeless person
Tutti quanti costretti
All of us forced
Ad un tempo diverso
To a different time
Io ti guardo negli occhi
I look you in the eyes
E vedo lontano
And I see far away
Il tempo che ho perso
The time I've lost
Parlami davvero
Really talk to me
Dentro questo gelo
Inside this frost
Sentimi davvero
Really feel me
Che non fa più buio
That it's no longer dark
Baciami davvero
Really kiss me
Che non casca mica tutto il cielo
The whole sky isn't falling
Che ci stiamo ancora sotto insieme
That we're still under it together
Sembra tutto pulito
Everything seems clean
Sembra tutto più chiaro
Everything seems clearer
Tutto quanto più morbido
Everything much softer
Senza più spigoli da arrotondare
Without any more edges to round off
I progetti divini
The divine plans
Il destino e la sfiga
Destiny and bad luck
Fatti solo vicina che tanto
Just come closer because anyway
Le neve lei se ne frega
The snow, it doesn't care
I segreti più son vecchi
The older the secrets are
E più sarai pesanti
The heavier they'll be
Puoi tirarli fuori
You can bring them out
Tanto qui sarai coperti
Anyway, here you'll be covered
La manna forse aveva questa forma
Manna perhaps had this shape
E allora puoi fidarti
And so you can trust
Parlami davvero
Really talk to me
Sciogli questo gelo
Melt this frost
Sentimi davvero
Really feel me
Che spegniamo il buio
So we turn off the darkness
Baciami davvero
Really kiss me
Che non casca mica tutto il cielo
The whole sky isn't falling
Che ci stiamo ancora sotto insieme
That we're still under it together
Parlami davvero
Really talk to me
Non lasciare niente
Don't leave anything
Scaldati davvero
Really warm yourself
Sotto questa coltre
Under this blanket
Baciami davvero
Really kiss me
Che possiamo stare ancora fuori
That we can still stay outside
Che la neve qui fa il suo lavoro
That the snow here does its job
Copre antenne e furgoni
It covers antennas and vans
Gli ospedali e gli incroci
The hospitals and the crossroads
Desideri e intenzioni
Desires and intentions
E fanali che fanno già meno luce
And headlights that already make less light
Io ti guardo negli occhi
I look you in the eyes
Hai le ciglia bagnate
You have wet eyelashes
E prometti di tutto
And you promise everything
E nevica ancora da togliere il fiato
And it's still snowing, taking your breath away

Did you like this lyrics translation?
se ne frega — doesn't care / doesn't give a damn
Se ne frega is a very common and expressive Italian idiom that literally translates to "he/she/it doesn't care" or "doesn't give a damn". It's a strong, somewhat informal phrase.
In Ligabue's song, the phrase is used repeatedly with "la neve" (the snow): "la neve, lei se ne frega" (the snow, it doesn't care). This personifies the snow as an indifferent force that continues to fall and cover everything, regardless of human concerns or desires. It's a memorable and impactful way to convey the snow's relentless nature.
