Incenso Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Incenso paints a cinematic moment in the cramped front seat of a car while rain taps the windshield like a synth beat. Mengoni follows two lovers who try to turn ordinary chaos into magic: traffic becomes rolling waves, thunder becomes their dance track, and a simple parking spot turns into the entire universe. Their bond feels fragile yet fragrant, like incense burning bright in a stormy night. He clings to the idea that shared dreams can outlive reality, promising to plant a flower where nothing should grow and return a year later to name it— a rebellious act of hope against impossible odds.

At its heart, the song balances wonder and heartbreak. One partner is already slipping away, and the singer wrestles with doubt—“Who am I to judge you now that you’re leaving?”—while begging for reassurance that the memories still matter. Incenso celebrates love’s power to transform the mundane into celestial adventure, even as it acknowledges that such moments may be fleeting. It invites listeners to keep dancing with the thunder, to keep daring impossible flowers to bloom, and to believe that even a goodbye can be scented with possibility.
