Le Donne Lo Sanno Lyrics in English Ligabue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Donne Lo Sanno by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Women know it
There's not much to do
You just need to keep up with your heart
They've always known it
They know it first, anyway
Women know it
What it takes
Women who know
Where we come from
And they know for some reason
That just seeing's enough
And those who know
Explain love to you
Or at least try to tear it out of you
And the ones who are missing know how to be missed
And hurt more
They can dance a bit more
They can feel their heads spin
They can feel a bit more
A bit more
Women know who really pays
They already know it when it's spring
Or maybe they stay ready, it's time that turns
Women know it
It's 'cause they're women
And they know where
And how and when
They've always known it
What we were talking about
And those who know
Explain love to you
Or at least try to tear it out of you
And the ones who are missing know how to be missed
And hurt more
They want to dance a bit more
They want to feel their heads spin
They want to feel a bit more
A bit more
They can dance a bit more
They can feel their heads spin
They can feel a bit more
A bit more
At the edge of pleasure
At the edge of horror
They know places you don't go
You don't go
Women know it
That nothing's lost
That the sky is light
Yet it's not empty
Women know it
Women have always known it
They want to dance a bit more
They want to feel their heads spin
They want to feel a bit more
A bit more
Outro
At the edge of pain
At the edge of love
They know voices you don't know
You don't know
You don't know

SONG MEANING

“Le Donne Lo Sanno” is Ligabue’s lively tribute to women’s almost magical intuition. Throughout the song, he repeats that “le donne lo sanno” — women know. They feel life before it happens, sense love before it is spoken, and recognize pain when it is still invisible. Ligabue paints women as experts of the heart: they can dance a little more, feel a little more, and move comfortably between the limits of pleasure, pain, love, and even horror.

The lyrics celebrate this heightened sensitivity without putting women on an unreachable pedestal. Instead, the song winks at their very human contradictions: they can hurt by simply “being absent,” yet they also remind us that “nothing is lost” and the sky, though light, is never empty. In short, Ligabue invites listeners to trust feminine insight, respect its power, and maybe — just maybe — let it pull the secrets of our own hearts into the open.
