La Finestra Lyrics in English Negramaro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Finestra by Negramaro from Italian to English.
Clench between your teeth those thoughts of yours
That slide off smooth as oil
All the way down to your belly the ones from yesterday
You hope they'll never climb back up your throat
So you won't have to say
Ever again what you think to me who can't understand you anymore
Me, you, me, you, me
You breathe between your teeth my thoughts
Before they come back
Down here in the belly the ones from yesterday
You hope you'll never have to hear again from the lips
That managed to tell you
More than the thoughts I can never explain to you
Hold tight to your chest the moment that's here
If you carry the world with you
Carry me too
And all that's left for me
Is to strap a pair of wings onto my head
And leave all doubts at a window
For that pair of wings outside it's still a party
'Cause I don't have much time
And all that's left for me
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squ
Clench between your teeth those thoughts of yours
That slide off smooth as oil
Down in the belly the ones from yesterday
No, no, no, they never climb back up the throat
Ever again what you think to me who can't understand you anymore
You, me, you, me
If you carry the world with you carry me too
And all that's left for me is to strap a pair of wings onto my head
And leave all doubts at a window
For that pair of wings outside it's still a party
'Cause I don't have much time
And all that's left for me
Stuck a pair of wings onto my head
And I left all doubts at a window
For that pair of wings you know it's not a party anymore
'Cause there's not much time left for me
Nothing left, nothing left
Stuck a pair of wings to this head
Yeah but you squeeze, squeeze, squeeze
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze me on the window
If you carry the world with you carry me too

SONG MEANING

La Finestra invites us into a whirlwind of bottled-up feelings, half-spoken words and a desperate urge to break free. Negramaro paints the picture of someone literally biting down on their thoughts so the heavy memories in their stomach never rise back to their throat. It is a tug-of-war between hiding what hurts and confessing it to a partner who no longer seems to understand. Every line drips with nervous energy, as if silence itself might explode at any moment.

Yet the song is not only about restraint. When the chorus arrives, the narrator dreams of strapping a pair of wings to his head, leaving every doubt perched on a window, and flying out into the open air. That window becomes a shaky border between fear and freedom: inside there are insecurities, outside there is still festa – a celebration of possibility. Time is running short, so he begs, “If you carry the world with you, take me too.” The result is a poignant mix of vulnerability and hope, reminding us that sometimes the only way to be understood is to risk opening the window and letting our truest thoughts take flight.
