Pronto A Correre Lyrics in English Marco Mengoni
Controvento literally means "against the wind". It's a vivid and evocative word that immediately brings to mind a sense of struggle, resilience, and determination.
In the context of the song, Marco Mengoni sings, "Solo controvento ricomincerò" (Alone against the wind I will start again). This powerful phrase symbolizes his decision to overcome past hurts and challenges, moving forward independently and with strength, even when facing adversity. It's a beautiful metaphor for starting anew despite difficulties.
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.
