Verse 1

Assholes, I see you, you're pale-faced

The gossip has gone away

The sound of your ugly laughter

It has opened the way for me to the right path

And your hand was always pointed

But never to help mine

Or: But never reached out to help me

And now watch as I fly high

And I touch the sun but I don't fall at all

Chorus 1

I breathe clean air that nourishes

The fire inside of me

And I let it kill me

I am reborn from my ashes

Verse 2

To not see anymore my tired mother

To give her back the gift of life

To break my back, hands, legs, and arms

To be proud of my effort

And even God had turned his back

While I told him that I was falling

But a ray of sunshine is enough, a breath of wind

A glance toward the sky

Chorus 2

I breathe clean air that nourishes

The fire inside of me

And I let it kill me

I am reborn from my ashes

I am born inside of you

Verse 3

I hear a sharp voice

A steady breath

A light that pierces the ground

Lost in the middle of nowhere

My legs give way

But my heart still beats

A light that pierces the ground

But my heart still beats

A light that pierces the ground

But my heart still beats

I hear a sharp voice

A steady breath

A light that pierces the ground

SONG MEANING

“Il Dono Della Vita” is Måneskin’s fiery rock manifesto of rebirth. Picture the band standing on a cliff, yelling back at every doubter below. The lyrics flip insults into rocket fuel: spiteful laughs, accusing fingers, even a silent God are all sparks that ignite the singer’s inner blaze. Rather than crumble, he “touches the sun” without falling, breathing in aria pulita that feeds the fire in his chest. The result? A phoenix moment where he lets the flames “kill” him only to rise from his own ashes, stronger and louder.

At the heart of the song is gratitude for life itself. The narrator wants to repay his exhausted mother for giving him il dono della vita, so he throws himself into hard work, proud of every bruised limb earned along the way. Even when legs buckle and darkness surrounds him, a single ray of light or a gust of wind is enough to keep the heart pounding. Måneskin wraps this raw resilience in pulsating guitars and drumbeats, turning personal struggle into an exhilarating anthem that shouts: “I’m still here, and I’m born again inside of you!”
