Seduto In Riva Al Fosso Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Seduto In Riva Al Fosso by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Ho parcheggiato e camminato, non so quanto, non so dove sono qua
I parked and walked, I don't know how far, I don't know where, I'm here
Ma so soltanto che si sente un buon profumo, un bel silenzio e l'acqua
But I only know that there's a good scent, a nice silence, and the water
Che va, lontano da me, lontano da noi
That goes, far from me, far from us
Lontano dalla giostra che non si ferma mai
Far from the carousel that never stops
Io c'ho il biglietto sì, ma questa corsa la vorrei lasciare fare
I have the ticket, yes, but I'd like to let others take this ride
A voi, solo a voi
You, only you
La lascio fare a voi
I'll let you do it
Che io sto bene qui, seduto in riva al fosso
Because I'm fine here, sitting by the ditch
Io sto bene qui, seduto in riva al fosso
I'm fine here, sitting by the ditch
O è il riflesso della luna o sei proprio bella, se vuoi siediti
Either it's the moon's reflection or you're really beautiful, sit down if you want
Hai parcheggiato e camminato non sai quanto non sai dove sei, ma sei qui
You parked and walked, you don't know how far, you don't know where you are, but you're here
Lontana da te, lontana da voi, lontana da uno specchio che non dice chi sei
Far from you, far from everyone, far from a mirror that doesn't say who you are
Se sotto il cielo c'è qualcosa di speciale passerà di qui prima o poi
If there's something special under the sky, it will pass by here sooner or later
Prima o poi, comunque tu lo sai
Sooner or later, you know it anyway
Che si sta bene qui seduti in riva al fosso
That it's good to be here, sitting by the ditch
Stiamo bene qui, seduti in riva al fosso
We're fine here, sitting by the ditch
Sono arrivati con la guida ed hanno apparecchiato per il loro pic-nic
They arrived with the guide and set up for their picnic
Con sedie e tavolini, la TV, i telefonini e le facce di chi va
With chairs and small tables, the TV, cell phones, and the faces of those who go
Lontano da chi, lontano da che, lontano per sentito dire senza un perché
Far from whom, far from what, far by hearsay without a reason
Se vuoi restare, resta pure ho da fare non mi viene in mente cos'è
If you want to stay, feel free, I have something to do, I can't remember what it is
Ma lo so che, io lo so com'è
But I know that, I know how it is
Che state bene lì, seduti in riva al fosso
That you're fine there, sitting by the ditch
State bene lì, seduti in riva al fosso
You're fine there, sitting by the ditch
Avanti, state bene lì, state bene lì, state bene lì
Come on, you're fine there, you're fine there, you're fine there
Dico, state bene lì, state bene lì, state bene lì
I mean, you're fine there, you're fine there, you're fine there

Did you like this lyrics translation?
fosso — ditch
Fosso translates to "ditch" or "trench". It's an interesting choice because it's not a word typically associated with a place of peace or contentment in everyday language.
In the song, Ligabue repeatedly sings about being "seduto in riva al fosso" (sitting by the ditch), transforming this humble, often overlooked spot into a sanctuary away from the chaos of modern life. This unexpected use makes the word memorable and central to the song's theme of finding simple solace.
