Non Dovete Badare Al Cantante Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Non Dovete Badare Al Cantante by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Non dovete badare al cantante
Don't mind the singer
Tutta gente che viene e che va
All people who come and go
Tutta gente che resta soltanto un momento
All people who stay only a moment
Soltanto nel caso che il pezzo ci divertirà
Only if the song will entertain us
Non dovete badare al cantante
Don't mind the singer
Lo sappiamo la vita che fa
We know what life does
Guarda solo la foto che c'è sul giornale
Just look at the photo in the newspaper
Ci siamo capiti che razza di uomo sarà
We get what kind of man he'll be
Certe vite passano
Some lives pass by
Leggere come le canzoni
Light like songs
E dietro le canzoni vanno
And they go behind the songs
Certe vite sfumano
Some lives fade away
Veloci come le canzoni
Fast like songs
E dentro le canzoni stanno
And they stay inside the songs
Non dovete badare al cantante
Don't mind the singer
Quello lì che si crede una star
That guy who thinks he's a star
Quello lì che si crede uno che lasci il segno
That guy who thinks he's one who leaves a mark
Ed invece una volta passato chi si volterà?
But instead, once he's gone, who will turn around?
Certe vite passano
Some lives pass by
Leggere come le canzoni
Light like songs
E dietro le canzoni vanno
And they go behind the songs
Certe vite sfumano
Some lives fade away
Veloci come le canzoni
Fast like songs
E dentro le canzoni stanno
And they stay inside the songs
Non dovete badare al cantante
Don't mind the singer
Tutta gente che viene e che va
All people who come and go

Did you like this lyrics translation?
sfumano — fade away
Sfumano comes from the verb sfumare, which means 'to fade away', 'to blur', or 'to vanish'. It's a more evocative and less common word than simply 'disappear'.
In the context of the song, Ligabue uses it to describe how lives can 'fade away' or 'blur' quickly, much like songs themselves. He sings, "Certe vite sfumano veloci come le canzoni" (Certain lives fade away quickly like songs), creating a poignant image of the fleeting nature of existence and memory.
