Tell me to try again
But not to give up
Because with lost causes
You know I'm a champion
If this love of ours
Already had an ending
Right now I probably
Would curse your name
But if all the fears
That in the world hurt
Really slid
Off my shoulders elsewhere
If it were the last night we had, you know
I'd trade it for all the others
Because only in forgiveness a man changes
They're just mirrors
We're not that old
Blame my flaws
That have faded your reflections
Yet you, still, while I fly you yawn
You laugh while I think about what names to give our kids
See, we could be this
Yet instead you still joke
If it were the last night we had, you know
I'd trade it for all the others
Because only in forgiveness a man changes
If it were the last line I sing, you know
Tearing out my throat, I wouldn't suffer
Because only in the racket a man changes
Bridge
You ask me now to be honest
This is who I am and I'm not proud of it
Tell me to try again, but not to give up
You ask me now to be honest
This is who I am and I'm not proud of it
Tell me to try again, but not to give up
If it were the last night we had, you know
I'd trade it for all the others
Because only in forgiveness a man changes
If it were the last line I sing, you know
Tearing out my throat, I wouldn't suffer
Because only in the racket a man changes

SONG MEANING

“Cambia Un Uomo” invites us into the raw confession booth of Marco Mengoni’s heart. The singer owns up to his flaws, calling himself a “champion of lost causes,” yet he refuses to quit on love. He imagines a dramatic last night on earth where every other night would be traded away just to make things right. The chorus hits home with a simple truth: it is only through forgiveness, not perfection, that a person truly changes.

Listening feels like riding an emotional roller-coaster; one moment he’s day-dreaming about naming future children, the next he’s ready to shout her name in anger. That tension between hope and regret is universal and relatable. Mengoni’s message? Real love is messy, noisy, even painful, but if you’re brave enough to forgive—and to ask for forgiveness—you unlock the power to become someone new.
