I only had an hour of sleep

I am a slave to the cable by now

I will stay like this a little longer

Believing that you will come back

Imagination helps but doesn't work miracles

Until yesterday you were here in my bed

Then what did I ever tell you

No excuses or alibis

If there's understanding between us

The most evolved version of romantic clichés

If you are convinced it's a defect of mine

Ask a child and they confirm everything

They never make mistakes

I no longer try to apologize

You can understand me if now

I remain just myself

A different man and then

Try to feel light

And then my dear love I swear

You will see that the world is more beautiful

If you know how to see it clearly

And I turn over the burning pillow

The dawn is all in the sky by now

I suspect that you won't come back to bed

But I have the PlayStation on pause

And a Gasquet backhand

Are you really sure it's a defect of mine?

Ask your child and you'll take it back

They never make mistakes

I no longer try to apologize

You can understand me if now

I remain just myself

A different man and then

Try to feel light

And then my dear love I swear

You will see that the world is more beautiful

If you know how to see it clearly

You say I vegetate and never think about tomorrow

That regarding this, my intentions

Are profane, even strange

I prefer true love, just moment by moment

Because living for the future now feels like nothing

I no longer try to apologize

You can understand me if now

I remain just myself

A different man and then?

I no longer try to apologize

You can understand me if now

I remain just myself

A different man and then

Try to feel light

And then my dear love I swear

You will see that the world is more beautiful

If you know how to see it clearly

profani — profane / unholy

Profani translates to "profane" or "unholy". It's a less common word in everyday Italian, making it stand out in song lyrics.

In the context of "Un Uomo Diverso", the singer uses it to describe his intentions as "profani anzi strani" (profane, indeed strange). This suggests a rejection of conventional, perhaps sacred, notions of love and future planning, embracing a more unconventional and immediate approach to life and relationships. It adds a layer of intrigue to his character as a "different man".

“Un Uomo Diverso” finds Max Gazzè awake and unable to let go, still checking his phone for a reply. "Sono schiavo del cavo oramai" [I’m a slave to the cable by now], he admits, and the song leans on a running self-defense rather than an apology: "Non cerco più di scusarmi" [I’m not trying to apologize anymore]. A PlayStation controller and a tennis reference keep the mood from turning solemn, before the song lands on its real argument for moving on: "Io preferisco il vero amare solo istante per istante, perché ormai vivere al futuro sa di niente" [I’d rather really love just moment by moment, because living for the future tastes of nothing now].
