In Breve Lyrics in English by Max Gazzè

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In Breve by Max Gazzè from Italian to English.
E un, due, un, due, tre, quattro
And one, two, one, two, three, four
E poi capita che il sangue sbatte addosso
And then it happens that your blood rushes
E il vento sia uno scirocco di cristallo
And the wind is a crystal sirocco
Che ti aggrappi a una follia
That you cling to a madness
Prigioniero dello stallo
Prisoner of the stalemate
Come il mare sotto le alghe
Like the sea under the seaweed
E come l'albero d'autunno
And like the autumn tree
Lasci foglie sull'asfalto
You leave leaves on the asphalt
Ad ammucchiarsi contro I muri
Piling up against the walls
Che si arrende senza sonno, senza storia
That surrenders without sleep, without a story
Senza volto e quella sfilza di respiri
Without a face and that string of breaths
Mentre fuggi e ti fai largo
While you flee and make your way
Tra la gente, tra le grida
Among the people, among the shouts
Sarà il fisco, sarà il caldo
It's probably the taxman, it's probably the heat
Sarà il senso della vita
It's probably the meaning of life
Ma ti ho visto anche un sorriso
But I also saw a smile on you
In quell'improvviso volo
In that sudden flight
Dopo I gemiti, il rancore e la consueta ipocrisia
After the moans, the resentment and the usual hypocrisy
Del mai più di questi fatti
Of the 'never again' of these events
C'è una tua fotografia
There's a photograph of you
Nel sole 24 ore e due brevi trafiletti
In Il Sole 24 Ore and two short blurbs
E come l'albero d'autunno
And like the autumn tree
Lasci foglie sull'asfalto
You leave leaves on the asphalt
Ad ammucchiarsi contro I muri
Piling up against the walls
E si arrende senza sonno, senza storia
And it surrenders without sleep, without a story
Senza volto e quella sfilza di respiri
Without a face and that string of breaths
Quanti giorni accumulati
How many days accumulated
Che poi bastano minuti
That then just minutes are enough
Per così perdere il filo
To thus lose the thread
È strano come certi umani dopo tutti questi anni
It's strange how certain humans after all these years
Si consumi anche il destino
Even destiny wears out

Did you like this lyrics translation?

trafiletti — short articles / snippets

Trafiletti literally translates to "short articles" or "snippets," often referring to brief news items or columns in a newspaper.

It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in song lyrics, making it stand out. In the context of the song, it appears alongside "Nel sole 24 ore e due brevi trafiletti," suggesting a fleeting mention or a small, almost overlooked detail in a larger publication, hinting at the transient nature of fame or events.
