Quando Tocca A Te Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quando Tocca A Te by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Per ogni giorno caduto dal cielo
For every day fallen from the sky
E capitato bene o male a terra
And landed well or badly on the ground
Con la tua guerra che non c'è chi perde
With your war that there's nobody who loses
Ne' pero' chi vince
Nor, however, who wins
Per ogni amore sbagliato d'un pelo
For every love missed by a hair
Oppure perso giocandolo a morra
Or lost playing morra
O atteso in coda col tuo numerino
Or waited in line with your ticket number
E sei il solo a non spingere
And you're the only one not pushing
Per ogni ora passata in campo
For every hour spent on the field
E non ti sporchi neanche la maglietta
And you don't even get your shirt dirty
Ci vuol sudore e un minimo di cuore
It takes sweat and a minimum of heart
Se non vuoi lo zero a zero
If you don't want a tie
Per ogni passo strisciato, stanco
For every tired, dragged step
E, nel frattempo, tutto il resto e' fretta
And, meanwhile, everything else is a rush
E la scelta e' o resti fuori
And the choice is: either you stay out
O corri per davvero
Or you really run
C'è chi corre e chi fa correre
There's who runs and who makes others run
E c'è chi non lo sa
And there's who doesn't know
Io so solo che, io so solo che
I only know that, I only know that
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Tocca a te
It's your turn
Per ogni schiaffo avuto e da avere
For every slap received and to come
E non ti restano più guance da offrire
And you don't have any more cheeks to offer
E quella mano sempre troppo uguale
And that hand always the same
Che non sai evitare
That you don't know how to avoid
Per ogni storia andata a finire
For every story that ended up
Nel modo che fa sempre sbadigliare
In the way that always makes you yawn
E in questa festa sei nell'angolino
And at this party you're in the corner
E non vuoi disturbare
And you don't want to disturb
C'è chi sceglie e chi fa scegliere
There's who chooses and who makes others choose
C'è chi non lo sa
There's who doesn't know
Io so solo che, io so solo che
I only know that, I only know that
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Tocca a te
It's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Quando tocca a te
When it's your turn
Tocca a te
It's your turn

Did you like this lyrics translation?
sbadigliare — to yawn
Sbadigliare means "to yawn". While seemingly simple, it's an interesting choice because it's not a word you often find in song lyrics, especially in a rock song.
In this context, Ligabue uses it to describe a story that ends "nel modo che fa sempre sbadigliare" (in a way that always makes you yawn). It's a vivid and relatable image for something predictable, boring, or uninspired, adding a touch of cynical realism to the lyrics.
