Volevo Essere Un Duro Lyrics in English Lucio Corsi

Volevo Essere Un Duro is Lucio Corsi’s tongue-in-cheek confession of wanting to look invincible — a sumo wrestler, a street thief, even a robot — yet forever bumping into the truth that he is just Lucio, a guy who bruises easily and is scared of the dark. Each larger-than-life image is followed by a self-deprecating punch line that exposes how fragile we humans really are. The chorus circles back to his mother’s reassurance that “living life is child’s play,” while reality keeps proving the opposite: the world is tough for “normal people” who have “too little love around” or “too much sun in their sunglasses.”

Behind the playful parade of fantasies, Corsi delivers a warm reminder to drop the macho mask and accept our own limits. Time slips away, toughness is an illusion, and running from fear never works. By the last line he proudly declares, “Non sono altro che Lucio” — “I am nothing more than Lucio.” The song turns the quest for hardness into a celebration of vulnerability, encouraging listeners to laugh at their bravado and embrace the soft core that makes them authentically human.
