Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Appunto 5: Non Sono Questo by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.
Sarebbe meglio non avere vizi
It would be better not to have vices
Tornare a casa presto quando è tardi
To come home early when it's late
Fidarsi poco, chiedere consigli
To trust little, ask for advice
E diffidare sempre dei codardi
And always be wary of cowards
Sarebbe meglio, sì, sarebbe giusto
It would be better, yes, it would be right
Non praticare invidia e fare a pugni
Not to practice envy and fight
Guardarsi nello specchio e poi piacersi
To look at oneself in the mirror and like oneself
Guardare in uno stagno e non tuffarsi
To look into a pond and not dive in
Scusa, ma non ci riesco
Sorry, but I can't do it
La schiena mi pesa troppo
My back weighs too much
So che sarebbe giusto
I know it would be right
Perdonami, non sono questo
Forgive me, I'm not like this
Mh, mh-mh-mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh
Mh, mh-mh-mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh
Mh-mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh
Mh-mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh
Sarebbe meglio che non ti arrabbiassi
It would be better if you didn't get angry
Chi alza la voce ha poco, poi, da dire
Those who raise their voice have little to say
Forse era meglio non ti affezionassi
Maybe it would have been better if I didn't get attached to you
Se ti ho deluso siamo in due a soffrire
If I disappointed you, we're both suffering
Sarebbe meglio, sì, sarebbe onesto
It would be better, yes, it would be honest
Ci comportassimo come due adulti
If we behaved like adults
E io ci provo, giuro, adesso cresco
And I try, I swear, I'm growing up now
Ma torno sempre sugli stessi sbagli
But I always go back to the same mistakes
Scusa, ma non ci riesco
Sorry, but I can't do it
La schiena mi pesa troppo
My back weighs too much
So che sarebbe giusto
I know it would be right
Perdonami, non sono questo
Forgive me, I'm not like this
Mh, mh-mh-mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh
Mh, mh-mh-mh-mh, mh-mh, mh-mh-mh-mh
