Di Nuovo Lyrics in English by Mecna

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Di Nuovo by Mecna from Italian to English.
Conti ferito
You count yourself hurt
Le cose che non sono andate come volevi
The things that didn't go as you wanted
Temendo sempre e solo di apparire peggiore
Always and only fearing to appear worse
Di ciò che sai realmente di essere
Than what you really know yourself to be
Conti precisi per ricordare
You count precisely to remember
Quanti sguardi hai evitato
How many glances you avoided
E quante le parole che non hai pronunciato
And how many words you didn't say
Per non rischiare di deludere
To not risk disappointing
La casa, l'intera giornata
Home, the entire day
Il viaggio che hai fatto
The journey you took
Per sentirti più sicuro
To feel more secure
Più vicino a te stesso
Closer to yourself
Ma non basta
But it's not enough
Non basta mai
It's never enough
Scivoli di nuovo e ancora come
You slip again and again like
Tu fossi una mattina da vestire e da coprire
You were a morning to dress and cover up
Per non vergognarti scivoli di nuovo e ancora
To not feel shame you slip again and again
Come se
As if
Non aspettassi altro che sorprendere le facce
You were only waiting to surprise the faces
Distratte, troppo assenti per capire i tuoi silenzi
Distracted, too absent to understand your silences
C'è un mondo d'intenti dietro gli occhi trasparenti
There's a world of intentions behind your transparent eyes
Che chiudi un po'
That you close a little
Torni a sentire gli spigoli
You feel the edges again
Di quel coraggio mancato
Of that missing courage
Che rendono in un attimo il tuo sguardo più basso
That instantly make your gaze lower
E i tuoi pensieri invisibili
And your thoughts invisible
Torni a contare
You count again
I giorni che sapevi non ti sanno aspettare
The days that you knew can't wait for you
Hai chiuso troppe porte e per poterle riaprire
You closed too many doors and to reopen them
Devi abbracciare ciò che non hai più
You must embrace what you no longer have
La casa, i vestiti, la festa
Home, the clothes, the party
Ed il tuo sorriso trattenuto dopo esploso
And your smile held back then exploded
Per volermi meno male
To hurt me less
Ma non basta
But it's not enough
Non basta mai
It's never enough
Scivoli di nuovo e ancora come
You slip again and again like
Tu fossi una mattina da vestire e da coprire
You were a morning to dress and cover up
Per non vergognarti scivoli di nuovo e ancora
To not feel shame you slip again and again
Come se
As if
Non aspettassi altro che sorprendere le facce
You were only waiting to surprise the faces
Distratte, troppo assenti per capire i tuoi silenzi
Distracted, too absent to understand your silences
C'è un mondo d'intenti dietro gli occhi trasparenti
There's a world of intentions behind your transparent eyes
Che chiudi un po'
That you close a little
E non vuoi nessun errore
And you don't want any mistakes
Però vuoi vivere perché chi non vive
But you want to live because whoever doesn't live
Lascia il segno del più grande errore
Leaves the mark of the biggest mistake
Scivoli di nuovo e ancora come
You slip again and again like
Tu fossi una mattina da vestire e da coprire
You were a morning to dress and cover up
Per non vergognarti scivoli di nuovo e ancora
To not feel shame you slip again and again
Come se
As if
Non aspettassi altro che sorprendere le facce
You were only waiting to surprise the faces
Distratte, troppo assenti per capire i tuoi silenzi
Distracted, too absent to understand your silences
C'è un mondo d'intenti dietro gli occhi trasparenti
There's a world of intentions behind your transparent eyes
Che chiudi un po'
That you close a little
Che chiudo un po'
That I close a little
Che chiudi
That you close

Did you like this lyrics translation?

spigoli — edges / corners

Spigoli literally means "edges" or "corners". It's an interesting word because it can refer to physical sharp points, but it's often used metaphorically in Italian to describe rough or difficult aspects of life or personality.

In this song, Mecna sings, "Torni a sentire gli spigoli Di quel coraggio mancato" (You start to feel the edges of that missing courage). Here, "spigoli" evokes the sharp, uncomfortable feelings of regret and the harsh reality of missed opportunities, making it a poignant and evocative choice.
