Ma Quale Felicità Lyrics in English by Marco Masini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ma Quale Felicità by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
Se guardo con gli occhi di oggi
If I look with today's eyes
La vita è folle, mi sembra folle
Life is crazy, it seems crazy to me
Anche tutto l'amore che muove le cose
Even all the love that moves things
Non vedi che è folle questo silenzio
Don't you see how crazy this silence is
Che promette rumore
That promises noise
Il bar che apre alle sette
The bar that opens at seven
Si fa colazione
We have breakfast
Per dimenticare che giorno era ieri
To forget what day yesterday was
Non senti che folle pensare di essere
Don't you feel how crazy it is to think we are
Sempre meno soli e invece no
Always less alone, but no
Dirti due parole per recuperare
To tell you a few words to make up
Fare solo un cenno per sdrammatizzare
To just make a gesture to lighten the mood
E invece non sentire niente
But instead feel nothing
E così sia se capita
And so be it if it happens
Fare più attenzione per non ricadere
To pay more attention so as not to fall back
Nello stesso errore che ci ha fatto male
Into the same mistake that hurt us
Ancora non provare niente
Still feel nothing
Nessuna via romantica
No romantic way
Ma quale felicità?
But what happiness?
Se penso al mondo di oggi è un tempo folle
If I think of today's world, it's a crazy time
Mi suona folle questo andare veloce
This fast pace sounds crazy to me
Che corre invadendo le pause e il pensiero
That rushes, invading our breaks and thoughts
Ti dò tre minuti per valere qualcosa come la pubblicità
I give you three minutes to be worth something, like an ad
Dirti due parole per recuperare
To tell you a few words to make up
Darci un'occasione per sdrammatizzare
To give us a chance to lighten the mood
E invece non sentire niente
But instead feel nothing
E così sia se capita
And so be it if it happens
Fare più attenzione per non ricadere
To pay more attention so as not to fall back
Nello stesso errore che ci ha fatto male
Into the same mistake that hurt us
Ancora non provare niente
Still feel nothing
Nessuna via romantica
No romantic way
Ma quale felicità?
But what happiness?
Ma quale felicità?
But what happiness?
E invece no
But instead no
Poi fare l'amore per dimenticare
Then make love to forget
Fingere che siamo pronti per cambiare
To pretend that we're ready to change
E dirsi che sarà per sempre
And tell ourselves that it will be forever
E più vai via e più sei mia
And the more you leave, the more you're mine
Ma quale felicità?
But what happiness?
Ma quale felicità?
But what happiness?
Ma quale felicità?
But what happiness?
Ma quale felicità
But what happiness
La felicità
Happiness

Sdrammatizzare is a fascinating Italian verb that means 'to defuse', 'to downplay', or 'to make less dramatic'. It's about reducing tension or making a serious situation seem lighter.
In the context of Marco Masini's song, it appears in lines like "Fare solo un cenno per sdrammatizzare" (Just make a gesture to defuse it) and "Darci un'occasione per sdrammatizzare" (Give us a chance to defuse it). It captures the human desire to alleviate emotional weight and find a way to cope with life's difficulties, making it a poignant and memorable word.
