Pronto A Correre Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pronto A Correre by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.
With you I was motionless
Today I'll watch you suddenly disappear
In the crowd you'll walk away
I'm sick of excuses
I'm tired of your troubles
You said you don't want
To walk beside me
Beside me
Now this house feels bigger
I light up every corner
I paint the boredom, I dress the room
With what I'll be from now on
You won't stop me
Not now, not ever
Because too many times I chose you
I'm not motionless
Thanks for hurting me
I won't forget it
Thanks, I'm starting over
Alone against the wind I'll start again
I wander downtown and do the shopping
I don't feel fragile
A hundred grams of sun, love's useless
If it then turns to ash
You won't catch me
Not now, not ever
Because for too long I chose you
Forgetting myself
Thanks for hurting me
I won't forget it
Thanks, I'm starting over
Alone against the wind I'll start again
I'll be
Ready to run for me
And you
Frozen still
Thanks for hurting me
I won't forget it
I feel in my veins
Life that moves, I'll start again
I'll be
Ready to run for me
For me

SONG MEANING

Pronto A Correre (Ready to Run) is Marco Mengoni’s triumphant break-up anthem, turning the sting of a failed relationship into rocket fuel for self-discovery. At first he describes feeling immobile, stuck beside a partner who drains his energy. The moment she disappears into the crowd, though, the world suddenly widens: he brightens every corner of the house, repaints the walls with new dreams, and vows that no one will stop him — not now, not ever.

The hook “Grazie per avermi fatto male” (Thank you for hurting me) flips pain into gratitude. Mengoni does ordinary things — walking through the city center, grocery shopping — to prove he is no longer fragile. Love that turns to ash is tossed aside, making room for a fierce promise: he will run solo controvento (alone against the wind) and live for himself. The song is a soaring declaration of independence, urging listeners to lace up their own shoes and sprint toward a brighter, self-powered future.
