Viva! Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Viva! by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Questa qua è per te
This one is for you
E anche se non è un granché
And even if it's not much
Ti volevo solo dire
I just wanted to tell you
Che era qui in fondo a me
That it was deep inside me
È per te che lo sai
It's for you, you know it
Di chi sto parlando dai
Who I'm talking about, come on
E ti piacerà un minuto
And you'll like it for a minute
E poi te ne scorderai
And then you'll forget about it
Perché sei
Because you are
Viva viva cosi come sei
Alive, alive, just as you are
Quanta vita mi hai passato
How much life you've given me
E non la chiedi indietro mai e sei
And you never ask for it back, and you are
Viva viva per quella che sei
Alive, alive, for who you are
Sempre pronta, sempre ingorda
Always ready, always greedy
Sempre solo come vuoi
Always just as you want
Questa qua è per te che non
This one is for you, who can't
Ti puoi spegnere non hai mai
Turn yourself off, you've never
Avuto tempo devi troppo vivere
Had time, you have to live too much
È per te questa qua per la tua
This one is for you, for your
Golosità ti strofini contro il
Greediness, you rub yourself against the
Mondo tanto il mondo non ti avrà
World, but the world won't have you
Perché sei
Because you are
Viva viva cosi come sei
Alive, alive, just as you are
Quanta vita hai contagiato
How much life you've infected
Quanta vita brucerai che sei
How much life you'll burn, because you are
Viva viva per quella che sei
Alive, alive, for who you are
Niente rate, niente sconti
No installments, no discounts
Solo viva come vuoi
Only alive as you want
Questa qua è per te e non è niente facile
This one is for you, and it's not easy at all
Dire quello che non riesco
To say what I can't
Mentre tu vuoi ridere
While you want to laugh
Perché sei
Because you are
Viva viva cosi come sei
Alive, alive, just as you are
Quanta vita mi hai passato
How much life you've given me
E non la chiedi indietro mai
And you never ask for it back
Perché sei
Because you are
Viva viva per quella che sei
Alive, alive, for who you are
Sempre pronta sempre ingorda
Always ready, always greedy
Sempre viva come vuoi
Always alive as you want
Questa qua è per te
This one is for you
Che sai sempre scegliere
Who always knows how to choose
E io invece non ho scelta
And I, instead, have no choice
Te la devo scrivere
I have to write it for you

ingorda — greedy / gluttonous
Ingorda literally translates to "greedy" or "gluttonous," often used to describe someone who eats too much. However, in this song, Ligabue uses it in a much more metaphorical and intriguing way.
He describes the person as "sempre ingorda," implying a relentless hunger or insatiable appetite for life itself. It suggests a vibrant, passionate individual who devours experiences and lives to the fullest, making it a powerful and unique descriptor in this context.
