Alibi Lyrics in English by Mecna, Madame
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alibi by Mecna from Italian to English.
Ora che sei qui vicino a me
Now that you're here close to me
Non ho più un alibi, non me ne andrei
I don't have an alibi anymore, I wouldn't leave
Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah
Ho lasciato tutto alle mie spalle io
I've left everything behind me
Che vivevo nel passato un po' da sempre
Who lived in the past, kind of forever
Tutti noi cerchiamo un po' di compagnia
All of us look for a bit of company
Ma non ci accorgiamo di chi non ci serve
But we don't notice those we don't need
Hai mai quello che vuoi
Do you ever have what you want
O succede un po' per caso?
Or does it happen a bit by chance?
Cosa aspettavi poi
What were you waiting for then
Non c'è stato
It didn't happen
Forse non credi finché non capita
Maybe you don't believe until it happens
Sembrava ieri, chi se lo immagina?
It seemed like yesterday, who would imagine it?
Ciò che non vedi non sempre è l'anima
What you don't see isn't always the soul
Per me è una verità che non so
For me, it's a truth I don't know
Ora che sei qui vicino a me
Now that you're here close to me
Non ho più un alibi, non me ne andrei più
I don't have an alibi anymore, I wouldn't leave anymore
Ora che sei qui vicino a me
Now that you're here close to me
(Ora che sei vicino a me, ora che sei vicino a me)
(Now that you're close to me, now that you're close to me)
Non ho più un alibi per continuare a cercare
I don't have an alibi anymore to keep searching
Quando entro in camera l'aria si ferma
When I enter the room, the air stops
Mi volto, petto al muro, un, due, tre, stella
I turn, chest to the wall, one, two, three, red light, green light
Poi mi svuoto a petto nudo, aria e terra
Then I empty myself bare-chested, air and earth
Ti scotti appena mi sfiori la pelle
You get burned as soon as you touch my skin
Non ti ricordo qualcuno che hai già visto?
Don't I remind you of someone you've already seen?
Con le ferite che interrompono il mio fisico
With the wounds that interrupt my physique
Mente locale sul come, quando e con chi
Focus on how, when, and with whom
E ti ricordi da bambino a scuola il crocifisso
And you remember the crucifix at school as a child
Mi picchio in testa, ne esce sangue che diventa acqua
I hit myself on the head, blood comes out that turns into water
Cade una lacrima nel mare e si forma una spiaggia
A tear falls into the sea and a beach forms
Sto in universo parallelo senza droga o alcol
I'm in a parallel universe without drugs or alcohol
Sento un rumore nello stomaco, mi bussa l'ansia
I feel a noise in my stomach, anxiety knocks on me
Le chiedo scusa per l'attesa, la faccio aspettare
I apologize for the wait, I make her wait
Attende con aspettative forse troppo alte
She waits with perhaps too high expectations
Non vero l'ora di dormire e di dimenticare
I can't wait to sleep and forget
Mi spavento ad occhi aperti perché è verità, e
I get scared with open eyes because it's truth, and
Chiudo gli occhi in dormiveglia e ho i muscoli spasmodici
I close my eyes in a half-sleep and my muscles are spasmodic
Come a proteggermi da un niente che potrebbe nuocermi
As if to protect myself from a nothingness that could harm me
Mi tocchi al punto giusto, sì, nel punto in giù sto
You touch me in the right spot, yes, I'm in the spot down below
Sempre allerta con il busto mentre ti sciolgo i nodi, bang
Always alert with my torso while I untie your knots, bang
Davanti al muso qualche fetta di carne
In front of my face, some slices of meat
Non apro bocca anche se muoio di fame
I don't open my mouth even if I'm starving
Mi tappo il naso perché l'odore è forte
I cover my nose because the smell is strong
E mi spingo un po' oltre per dimenticarmene
And I push myself a bit further to forget about it
Ora che sei qui vicino a me
Now that you're here close to me
Non ho più un alibi, non me ne andrei più
I don't have an alibi anymore, I wouldn't leave anymore
Ora che sei qui vicino a me
Now that you're here close to me
(Ora che sei vicino a me, ora che sei vicino a me)
(Now that you're close to me, now that you're close to me)
Non ho più un alibi per continuare a cercare
I don't have an alibi anymore to keep searching
Sei qui
You're here
Sei qui
You're here

Did you like this lyrics translation?
dormiveglia — twilight sleep / dozing
Dormiveglia is a beautiful and somewhat poetic Italian word that describes the state between being fully awake and fully asleep. It's a liminal space, a 'twilight sleep' or 'dozing' where one might experience vivid thoughts or dreams.
In the song, Mecna uses it to convey a sense of vulnerability and unease, as he closes his eyes in this state and feels his muscles spasm, as if protecting himself from an unseen threat. It's a unique word that captures a specific, introspective mood.
