They only gave us one life
Satisfied or not here they never refund
And calendars to ask us if
We are taking enough, enough
If for every mistake I had a thousand lire
What an old age I would spend
Roads too narrow and straight
For those who want to change course or lie down a bit
That going is fine though
Sometimes you need a reason, a reason
Some days we ask ourselves 'is that all?'
And the answer is always yes
Or it's not time for us who never wake up
But we have dreams that are too big and beautiful, you know
Beautiful or ugly, we have faces that never change
It's not the time for us and maybe it never will be
If one day you pass by here
Let yourself be loved and then quickly forget about me
That that day is already good for loving someone else
Some else
They say we are throwing ourselves away
But we are good at gathering together
It's not time for us to never adjust
Out of fashion, out of place, in short, always out, come on
We have patient women, resigned to our troubles
It's not the time for us and maybe it never will be
It's not time for us not to dress like you
We don't laugh, we don't cry, we don't love like you
Too naive or stubborn, not very smart if anything
It's not the time for us and maybe it never will be
It's not time for us who never wake up
But we have dreams that are too big and beautiful, you know
Beautiful or ugly, we have faces that never change
It's not the time for us and maybe it never will be

rimborsano — they refund

Rimborsano comes from the verb rimborsare, meaning 'to refund' or 'to reimburse'. It's a word you might not expect to find in a rock song, making it quite unique and memorable.

In the context of the song, Ligabue sings, "Soddisfatti o no qua non rimborsano mai" (Satisfied or not, here they never refund). He uses this financial term metaphorically to convey that life doesn't offer second chances or take-backs, emphasizing the finality of our choices and experiences.

Ligabue sings about feeling out of step with the times. The people in this song don't wake up in time, don't dress or laugh or love the way everyone else seems to, and carry dreams that feel too big for their ordinary faces.

Life only gives you one shot, and there's no refund for the years you spend chasing something that doesn't quite fit. Instead of forcing themselves to catch up, the people here just keep dreaming, getting knocked down, and picking themselves back up anyway.

The chorus circles the same idea from a few different angles: maybe it isn't their moment right now, and maybe it never will be. But the song isn't really about giving up. It's about wearing that mismatch with a stubborn kind of pride.
