La Terra Trema, Amore Mio Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Terra Trema, Amore Mio by Ligabue from Italian to English.
La terra trema, amore mio
The earth trembles, my love
I figli van tenuti in braccio
Children must be held in our arms
Ognuno con le sue domande da fare a Dio
Each with their own questions to ask God
Che sembra un impeto d'inferno
Which seems like a hellish rush
Chi non vuol stare piu' coperto
Who doesn't want to be covered up anymore
Venuto su a mangiarsi tutto
Come up to eat everything
A bocca aperta
With his mouth open
Tu guarda nei miei occhi
You look into my eyes
E trovaci un domani
And find us a tomorrow
E appena avrai finito
And as soon as you're finished
Prova a raccontarmelo se puoi
Try to tell me if you can
Tu passa fra I miei occhi
You pass between my eyes
Fra polvere e rottami
Among dust and debris
E se mi trovi ancora
And if you find me again
Vieni a salutarmi come sai
Come and greet me as you know
I nostri passi fino qui
Our steps up to here
I solchi fatti in questo posto
The furrows made in this place
Se pure trema c'e' qualcosa che riconosco
Even if it trembles, there's something I recognize
Ma quanto trema amore mio
But how it trembles, my love
Si deve togliere un capriccio
A whim must be overcome
Non sta a guardare a scuole e chiese
He doesn't look at schools and churches
Non guarda in faccia
He doesn't look in my face
Tu guarda nei miei occhi
You look into my eyes
E trovaci un domani
And find us a tomorrow
E appena avrai finito
And as soon as you're finished
Prova a raccontarmelo se puoi
Try to tell me if you can
Tu passa fra I miei occhi
You pass between my eyes
Fra polvere e rottami
Among dust and debris
E se mi trovi ancora
And if you find me again
Vieni a salutarmi come sai
Come and greet me as you know
La terra trema amore mio
The earth trembles, my love
Staremo sempre un po' più svegli
We will always be a little more awake
Se stiamo stretti stiamo in piedi
If we're crowded together, we're in feet
Un poco meglio
A little better
Tu che hai bisogno di me
You who need me
Che ho bisogno di te
I need you
Ognuno con le sue risposte
Each with their own answers
Date da Dio
Given by God

capriccio — whim / tantrum
Capriccio translates to "whim" or "tantrum" in English. It's a word that evokes a sense of impulsive, often childish, desire or behavior.
In the context of the song, Ligabue personifies the trembling earth, suggesting it's acting out a "capriccio" – a powerful, uncontrollable whim that disregards everything in its path, including schools and churches. This personification makes the natural disaster feel almost like a willful, destructive act, adding a unique emotional layer to the lyrics.
