Il Nome Delle Stelle Lyrics in English by Max Gazzè
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Nome Delle Stelle by Max Gazzè from Italian to English.
Di Sara ricordi soltanto il vestito bianco e trasparente
You only remember Sara's white and transparent dress
Hai perso per strada il rossore e il sorriso, di chi fa finta di niente
You lost the blush and the smile along the way, of someone who pretends nothing
Chissà se qualcuno ha raccolto quei baci mai dati
Who knows if someone collected those never-given kisses
I gesti invisibili come bottoni smarriti
The invisible gestures like lost buttons
Di Sara ricordi soltanto il vestito bianco e trasparente
You only remember Sara's white and transparent dress
Hai perso per strada il rossore e il sorriso, di chi fa finta di niente
You lost the blush and the smile along the way, of someone who pretends nothing
Chissà se qualcuno ha raccolto quell'attimo in cui le impazziva il cuore
Who knows if someone collected that moment when her heart went wild
Ci vuole fortuna, magia, un prestigiatore
It takes luck, magic, a magician
Io spero che esista anche un Dio delle piccole cose
I hope there's also a God of small things
Che sappia i silenzi mai diventati parole
Who knows the silences that never became words
Che sappia i gradini di pietra, l'estati scoscese
Who knows the stone steps, the steep summers
Quel nome che hai proprio lì sulla lingua e non viene
That name you have right there on your tongue and it doesn't come out
Dio mostrale passi di danza che aveva sbagliato
God, show her the dance steps she got wrong
Conserva le foto in cui s'era trovata per caso
Keep the photos where she found herself by chance
Raccogli le briciole perse di ogni esistenza
Collect the lost crumbs of every existence
I respiri sui vetri, di treni in partenza
The breaths on the windows, of departing trains
Chissà se qualcuno sa dire i cognomi dei suoi compagni di scuola
Who knows if someone can say the surnames of her schoolmates
Poesie che non è mai riuscita a imparare a memoria
Poems she never managed to learn by heart
Se ha letto i romanzi che poi non abbiamo finito
If she read the novels we then didn't finish
Le voglie che non sono più diventate peccato
The desires that never became sin
Se sa le preghiere fantasmi di noi da bambini
If she knows the ghost prayers of us as children
O dov'è che finiscono chiavi e orecchini
Or where keys and earrings end up
Il Dio delle piccole cose aspetta la fine del cammino
The God of small things awaits the end of the journey
Con un sacco sgualcito dal tempo ed un piccolo inchino
With a bag crumpled by time and a small bow
Chissà se ci ridà indietro le vite che abbiamo in sospeso
Who knows if he gives us back the lives we have in limbo
Io credo sia questo l'inferno e il paradiso
I believe this is hell and paradise

Did you like this lyrics translation?
scoscese — steep / rugged
Scoscese translates to "steep" or "rugged," often used to describe terrain. It's a less common, more evocative word than typical adjectives.
In the song, it appears in the phrase "l'estati scoscese" (the steep summers). This creates a vivid, almost tactile image of summers that are challenging or difficult, perhaps reflecting a period of life that was demanding or intense, rather than simply hot or long. It adds a unique poetic depth to the lyrics.
