Piccola Stella Senza Cielo Lyrics in English Ligabue

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Piccola Stella Senza Cielo by Ligabue from Italian to English.
What are you doing
In the middle of all these people
Is it you who wants
Or in the end you don't give a d*mn
Many look for you
Stunned by a light with no future
Others reach out
They'd like to keep you in their darkness
You'll burn
Little star with no sky
You'll show yourself
We'll be enchanted while you burst in flight
You'll melt
Behind a trail, a breath, a veil
You'll break away
Because only a thread holds you up, you know
Hold yourself up
The other stars are willing
It's just that you
Sometimes you think it's not enough
Maybe it'll happen
That your eyes will close again
Or it'll just be
A half-hour break
You'll burn
Little star with no sky
You'll show yourself
We'll be enchanted while you burst in flight
You'll melt
Behind a trail, a breath, a veil
You'll break away
Because only a thread holds you up, you know
Outro
You'll burn
Little star with no sky
Outro
You'll show yourself
We'll be enchanted while you burst in flight

SONG MEANING

“Piccola Stella Senza Cielo” paints the picture of a brilliant yet fragile soul who shines brightly in a crowded world. The singer notices how many people are drawn to her light: some are dazzled, others try to pull her into their own darkness. He warns that her glow could make her burn out, like a meteor streaking across the sky, but at the same time he cannot look away from her hypnotic beauty. The chorus repeats the image of a “little star without a sky,” suggesting someone who has not yet found her place and risks being supported by only “a thread.”

Under the rock-ballad energy lies an affectionate plea: Hold on to yourself, believe in your light, and don’t let anyone dim it. Ligabue’s lyrics mix admiration with concern, turning the song into both a love letter and a protective lullaby for anyone who feels extraordinary yet exposed. It reminds us that even the brightest stars need a safe sky to keep shining.
