Pane Al Pane Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pane Al Pane by Ligabue from Italian to English.
E poi l'urlo partì
And then the scream started
E l'orecchio trovò
And the ear found
Pane al pane
Plain truth
E l'orecchio capì anche se al prezzo di
And the ear understood even if at the price of
Sanguinare
Bleeding
E la bocca cercò
And the mouth searched
E un'altra bocca trovò
And another mouth found
Cuore a cuore
Heart to heart
E lì, più che baciarsi
And there, more than kissing
Fu quasi un volersi mangiare
It was almost a wanting to devour each other
Chiaro, che più non si può
Clear, as clear as it gets
Pane al pane
Plain truth
E lo sputo saltò
And the spit flew
E la faccia trovò
And the face found
Pane al pane
Plain truth
E la faccia bucata sembrò
And the face seemed pierced
Per un pò da buttare
For a while, fit to be thrown away
E poi l'occhio parlò
And then the eye spoke
Disse troppo, però
It said too much, though
Bene o male
For better or worse
Parlò pure nascosto
It spoke even hidden
Nell'occhio d'un ottimo attore
In the eye of a great actor
Chiaro, che ti piaccia o no
Clear, whether you like it or not
Pane al pane
Plain truth
E lo specchio suonò
And the mirror played
Ora un blues, ora un pezzo solare
Now a blues, now a sunny piece
E fu quel ritornello fischiato
And it was that whistled chorus
Anche senza volere
Even without meaning to
Pane al pane
Plain truth

Sanguinare — To bleed
Sanguinare means "to bleed." While it might seem straightforward, its use here is quite striking and less common in everyday song lyrics than more romantic or common verbs.
In the context of the song, "E l'orecchio capì anche se al prezzo di Sanguinare" (And the ear understood even at the price of bleeding), it suggests a profound, almost painful understanding or realization. It's a powerful metaphor for the cost of true comprehension, making it a memorable and impactful word.
