Malinconoia Lyrics in English by Marco Masini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Malinconoia by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
La vita non è qui sui trampoli di un bar
Life isn't here on the stilts of a bar
In questo venerdì che sporca la città
On this Friday that dirties the city
La vita non è qui da mezzanotte in poi
Life isn't here from midnight onwards
Nei tacchi e nei vestiti negli occhi insonnoliti
In the heels and clothes, in the sleepy eyes
Di travestiti eroi
Of disguised heroes
La vita non è un film di muscoli e robot
Life isn't a film of muscles and robots
E il tempo speso qui è il tempo che non ho
And the time spent here is time I don't have
La vita non è mia sperduta in questo bronx
Life isn't mine, lost in this Bronx
Fra le canzoni e I guai in una emorragia
Between the songs and troubles, in a hemorrhage
Di giorni da juke-box
Of jukebox days
La noia è come il blues ti fa pensare a Dio
Boredom is like the blues, it makes you think of God
Leggera come un gas che penetra il tuo io
Light as a gas that penetrates your being
La noia è nostalgia di un posto che non see'è
Boredom is nostalgia for a place that doesn't exist
È voglia di andar via da tutti e anche da te
It's a desire to leave everyone and even you
E' la malinconoia che uccide a questa età
It's the melanchoboredom that kills at this age
È il cuore che si scuoia cercando quel che ha già
It's the heart that tears itself apart searching for what it already has
E il cielo cade giù con la sua tenda buia
And the sky falls down with its dark tent
E non esisti più nella malinconoia
And you no longer exist in the melanchoboredom
La vita non è qui nell'ansia di allegria
Life isn't here in the anxiety for joy
Che fa aspettare l'alba con questa nuova barba
That makes you wait for dawn with this new beard
Del tempo che va via
Of time that passes
E' la malinconoia la guerra che see'è in me
It's the melanchoboredom, the war that's in me
Questa mia triste gioia di avere perso te
This sad joy of mine of having lost you
E tu non sei più mia
And you're no longer mine
E tu non hai l'idea di quanto amaro sia
And you have no idea how bitter it is
Mangiarsi l'orchidea della malinconoia
To eat the orchid of melanchoboredom
La vita non è qui fra cenere e caffè
Life isn't here between ash and coffee
In questo muto venerdì che strilla dentro me
On this silent Friday that screams inside me
La vita non è qui
Life isn't here
Dove un ragazzo piange le sue lacrime
Where a boy cries his tears
E le ingoia
And swallows them
In questo venerdì della malinconoia
On this Friday of melanchoboredom
La vita non è qui
Life isn't here
Dove un ragazzo piange lacrime di questo
Where a boy cries tears of this
Mondo boia
Executioner world
In questo venerdì della malinconoia
On this Friday of melanchoboredom

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Malinconoia — Melancholy-Annoyance (portmanteau)
The word "Malinconoia" is a unique portmanteau created by combining "malinconia" (melancholy) and "noia" (boredom/annoyance). It's not a standard Italian word, making it particularly interesting and memorable.
In the song, Marco Masini uses this neologism to describe a profound and oppressive state of being, a blend of deep sadness and pervasive boredom that consumes the individual. It encapsulates the central theme of the song, representing a suffocating emotional state that the singer feels is killing him.
