Duemila Volte Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Duemila Volte by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.
I'd like to try to draw your face
But it's like pulling a sword from a rock
I'd like to try living in your eyes
Then dream until we're tired
I'd like to find the dawn inside this bed
When we get back at six
You look at me and tell me you want
Another cigarette
A perfect life
That you want my T-shirt
That you want my T-shirt
I need to lose you
To come look for you
Another two thousand times
Even if you're distant now
I need to forgive you
So I can touch you
Even for just one night
Even if we're alone
Like water on Mars
I'd like to try not loving your face
But it's like not bringing people to a party
It takes too long and we believe in haste
We look for flights to go to London
I'd like to forget myself for a day
When we get back at six
You look at me and I tell you I'd like another cigarette
A perfect life
I'd like your beauty
I'd like your beauty
I need to lose you
To come look for you
Another two thousand times
Even if you're distant now
I need to forgive you
So I can touch you
Even for just one night
Even if we're alone
Like water on Mars
We could even stay a bit silent
While it burns slowly and not think about it anymore
We could even leave fear behind
We'll close our eyes to jump down
I need to lose you
To come look for you
Another two thousand times
Even if you're distant now
I need to forgive you
So I can touch you
Even for just one night
Even if we're alone
Like water on Mars

SONG MEANING

"Duemila Volte" is Marco Mengoni’s heartfelt confession of a love so intense it feels both impossible and irresistible. Throughout the lyrics he stacks vivid images – trying to sketch a lover’s face “like pulling a sword from stone,” yearning to “live in your eyes,” chasing dawn after nights that end at 6 a.m. The repetition of ordinary cravings (another cigarette, the borrowed T-shirt) contrasts with larger-than-life desires (a “perfect life,” finding “water on Mars”), painting a relationship that swings between everyday intimacy and epic longing.

At its core the song circles around a powerful paradox: I have to lose you so I can come looking for you another two-thousand times. Distance, forgiveness, and the thrill of reunion feed an addictive cycle where separation only intensifies attraction. Mengoni’s voice turns that contradiction into a mantra of modern romance, reminding us that some connections burn brightest precisely because they are never quite within reach.
