Quando Canterai La Tua Canzone Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quando Canterai La Tua Canzone by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Son stati giorni che han lasciato il segno
They were days that left their mark
E stare al mondo è già di più un impegno
And being in the world is already more of a commitment
E adesso giri con in tasca un pugno
And now you walk around with a fist in your pocket
Nell'altra tasca il tuo rimario
In the other pocket your rhyming dictionary
L'impatto con il mondo è sempre forte
The impact with the world is always strong
Per chi vorrebbe solo farne parte
For those who'd only want to be a part of it
E avere almeno due o tre cose certe
And to have at least two or three certain things
E avere un dio che si diverte
And to have a god who has fun
Ma scegli tu fra botte e rime
But you choose between blows and rhymes
E scegli tu fra inizio e fine
And you choose between beginning and end
E scegli tu
And you choose
Ma scegli tu per primo
But you choose first
E quando canterai la tua canzone
And when you sing your song
La canterai con tutto il tuo volume
You'll sing it with all your volume
Lasciando qualcun altro a commentare
Leaving someone else to comment
Che tu devi andare
That you have to go
Son stati giorni di tempesta e vento
They were days of storm and wind
Ed era pronto solo chi era pronto
And only those who were ready, were ready
Ma adesso sai a cosa vai incontro
But now you know what you're going to face
Chi non è morto è già più forte
Whoever didn't die is already stronger
L'impatto con il mondo è sempre duro
The impact with the world is always hard
Per chi lo vede come un posto scuro
For those who see it as a dark place
Vorrei poterti essere utile davvero
I wish I could be truly useful to you
Poterti dire che sei al sicuro
To be able to tell you that you're safe
Ma scegli tu fra botte e rime
But you choose between blows and rhymes
E scegli tu fra inizio e fine
And you choose between beginning and end
E scegli tu
And you choose
Ma scegli tu per primo
But you choose first
E quando canterai la tua canzone
And when you sing your song
E te ne fregherai di quanto piove
And you won't care how much it rains
La urlerai in faccia a chi non vuole
You'll scream it in the face of those who don't want to
E non sa sentire
And don't know how to listen
E quando canterai la tua canzone
And when you sing your song
La rabbia l'innocenza e l'illusione
The anger, the innocence, and the illusion
Ti toccherà cantare l'emozione
You'll have to sing the emotion
Che non sa nessuno
That nobody knows
E quando canterai la tua canzone
And when you sing your song
Da quel momento in poi non puoi tornare
From that moment on you can't go back
Da quel momento in poi dovrai andare
From that moment on you'll have to go
Con le tue parole
With your words
E quando canterai la tua canzone
And when you sing your song
La canterai con tutto il tuo volume
You'll sing it with all your volume
Che sia per tre minuti o per la vita
Whether it's for three minutes or for life
Avrà su il tuo nome
It will have your name on it

rimario — rhyme dictionary
Rimario literally translates to "rhyme dictionary" or "rhyming dictionary". It's a less common word that immediately brings to mind the craft of songwriting and poetry.
In the context of the song, Ligabue sings about carrying a "pugno" (fist) in one pocket and a "rimario" in the other. This imagery suggests a person who is ready to fight for their voice and express themselves creatively, highlighting the power of words and self-expression in the face of life's challenges.
