Buon Compleanno Lyrics in English by Max Gazzè
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Buon Compleanno by Max Gazzè from Italian to English.
Le notti non finiscono
The nights don't end
All'alba nella via
At dawn in the street
Le porto a casa insieme a me
I take them home with me
Ne faccio melodia
I make a melody out of them
E poi mi trovo a scrivere
And then I find myself writing
Chilometri di lettere
Kilometers of letters
Sperando di vederti ancora qui
Hoping to see you here again
Inutile parlarne sai, non capiresti mai
It's useless to talk about it, you know, you'd never understand
Seguirti fino all'alba e poi
To follow you until dawn and then
Vedere dove vai
See where you go
Mi sento un po' bambino ma
I feel a bit like a child but
Lo so con te non finirà
I know with you it won't end
Il sogno di sentirsi dentro ad un film
The dream of feeling like you're in a movie
E poi all'improvviso sei arrivata tu
And then suddenly you arrived
Non so chi l'ha deciso
I don't know who decided it
M'hai preso sempre più
You've taken me more and more
Una quotidiana guerra
A daily war
Con la razionalità
With rationality
Ma va bene purché serva per farmi uscire
But it's fine as long as it helps me get out
Come mai, ma chi sarai, per fare questo a me
How come, but who are you, to do this to me
Notti intere ad aspettarti, ad aspettare te
Whole nights waiting for you, waiting for you
Dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai per farmi stare qui
Tell me how come, but who are you to make me stay here
Qui seduto in una stanza, pregando per un sì
Here sitting in a room, praying for a yes
Gli amici se sapessero che sono proprio io
If my friends knew it was really me
Pensare che credevano
To think they believed
Che fossi quasi un dio
That I was almost a god
Perche non mi fermavo mai
Because I never stopped
Nessuna storia inutile
No useless stories
Uccidersi d'amore, ma per chi?
To kill oneself for love, but for whom?
Lo sai all'improvviso sei arrivata tu
You know, suddenly you arrived
Non so chi l'ha deciso
I don't know who decided it
M'hai preso sempre più
You've taken me more and more
Una quotidiana guerra con la razionalità
A daily war with rationality
Ma va bene purché serva per farmi uscire
But it's fine as long as it helps me get out
Come mai, ma chi sarai, per fare questo a me
How come, but who are you, to do this to me
Notti intere ad aspettarti, ad aspettare te
Whole nights waiting for you, waiting for you
Dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai, per farmi stare qui
Tell me how come, but who are you, to make me stay here
Qui seduto in una stanza, pregando per un sì
Here sitting in a room, praying for a yes
Dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai, per fare questo a me
Tell me how come, but who are you, to do this to me
Notti intere ad aspettarti, ad aspettare te
Whole nights waiting for you, waiting for you
Dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai, per farmi stare qui
Tell me how come, but who are you, to make me stay here
Qui seduto in una stanza, pregando per un sì
Here sitting in a room, praying for a yes
Dimmi come mai, ma chi sarai, per farmi stare qui
Tell me how come, but who are you, to make me stay here
Qui seduto in una stanza, pregando per un sì
Here sitting in a room, praying for a yes

razionalità — rationality
Razionalità translates to "rationality" or "reason". It's a sophisticated word that stands out in a pop song, suggesting a deeper conflict than just simple emotions.
In the song, Max Gazzè sings about a "quotidiana guerra con la razionalità" (a daily war with rationality). This phrase beautifully captures the struggle between logical thought and the overwhelming, often illogical, feelings of love and desire. It's an enticing word because it hints at a relatable internal battle.
