Malibu Lyrics in English by Mecna

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Malibu by Mecna from Italian to English.
Chiuso qui dentro questo silenzio che cala
Shut in here in this falling silence
Oggi non bevo e non festeggio, Bengala
Today I don't drink and don't celebrate, no flare
Meglio che arrendersi per strada
Better than giving up on the street
C'è una luce ma si allontana
There's a light but it's moving away
Guardo il mio passato scappare via
I watch my past run away
Non cerco più di tornare indietro
I no longer try to go back
Guardo il mare da qui
I watch the sea from here
Voglio stare così
I want to be like this
Come a Malibù
Like in Malibu
Sento caldo, e tu?
I feel hot, and you?
Come a Malibù
Like in Malibu
Non torniamo più, yeah
We're not going back anymore, yeah
Tu vuoi restare a dormire
You want to stay asleep
Io vorrei stare a guardarti un po'
I'd like to stay watching you for a bit
La speranza non è un fucile
Hope isn't a rifle
È solo il finale più logico
It's just the most logical ending
Piove da giorni nei miei desideri
It's been raining for days in my desires
Cerco le forme nel ghiaccio e i bicchieri
I look for shapes in the ice and glasses
Vorrei vederti per dirti che ieri
I'd like to see you to tell you that yesterday
Avrei fatto l'amore con te volentieri
I would have gladly made love with you
Non esco di casa se non ho le cuffie nel tel
I don't leave the house if I don't have my headphones in my phone
Ho sognato me e te su una spiaggia d'inverno
I dreamed of you and me on a winter beach
Vestiti soltanto da un telo
Dressed only in a sheet
Cielo grigio
Grey sky
Casa ufficio
Home office
Due spazzolini ed un dentifricio
Two toothbrushes and a toothpaste
Quasi ogni volta che metto la mano là sotto mi chiedo
Almost every time I put my hand down there I wonder
Cos'è, il paradiso?
What is it, paradise?
Se non te
If not you
Se non te ne accorgi alle volte
If you don't notice it sometimes
Io mi mimetizzo nelle tue parole
I camouflage myself in your words
Anche di più di un camaleonte
Even more than a chameleon
Per terra le calze di Nike, la tuta di Palace, la felpa di Stussy
On the floor Nike socks, a Palace tracksuit, a Stussy sweatshirt
Scambiamo opinioni sugli altri, perdiamo saliva, scambiamoci i gusti
We exchange opinions about others, we lose saliva, let's swap tastes
Mi tengo la maglia come ultima cosa
I keep my shirt as the last thing
Perché mi sta bene di brutto
Because it looks really good on me
Tu lascia il telefono nei pantaloni
You leave your phone in your pants
Che dopo poi penso io a tutto
Because then I'll take care of everything
Non guardo giù
I don't look down
Non prendermi
Don't take me
Non vorrai rifare l'errore
You won't want to make the mistake again
Non piove più
It's not raining anymore
C'è il sole qui
The sun's here
Il mare ha cambiato colore
The sea has changed color
Come a Malibù
Like in Malibu
Sento caldo, e tu?
I feel hot, and you?
Come a Malibù
Like in Malibu
Non torniamo più, yeah
We're not going back anymore, yeah
Tu vuoi restare a dormire
You want to stay asleep
Io vorrei stare a guardarti un po'
I'd like to stay watching you for a bit
La speranza non è un fucile
Hope isn't a rifle
È solo il finale più logico
It's just the most logical ending

Did you like this lyrics translation?

mimetizzoI camouflage myself

Mimetizzo comes from the verb mimetizzarsi, meaning 'to camouflage oneself' or 'to blend in'. It's a less common and more evocative word than simply 'to hide'.

In the song, the artist sings, "Io mi mimetizzo nelle tue parole / Anche di più di un camaleonte" (I camouflage myself in your words / Even more than a chameleon). This line beautifully expresses a deep emotional connection, suggesting he becomes so intertwined with his lover's thoughts and expressions that he literally blends into them, much like a chameleon changes its colors to match its surroundings.
