Mi Basta Lyrics in English Negramaro

Home / Lyrics Translation / Negramaro / Mi Basta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Basta by Negramaro from Italian to English.

In the hands of whoever waits

In the wait for a party

In the Sunday wake-up

In the stormy air

In the Christmas lights

In the secrets not to be told

In the urge to kiss your mouth endlessly

In the courtyards always open

Inside the repeated dreams

In the smiles that are sad deep down

In the grimaces of the sellouts

In the toys in the cellar

In the photos up in the attic

In the big boxes full

Of love at first sight

I wanted to tear from things

Only the meaning that makes me feel good

And I left the saddest details to rot in the darkness to be forgotten

Today I think it's a better place and that's enough for me

Yeah, it's enough for me

In the tears of a son

In a rabbit's burrow

In the bicycle rides

In the usual defeat

In the trails of an airplane

In a child's drawings

In the country roads where there's nobody anymore

I wanted to tear from things

Only the meaning that makes me feel good

And I left the saddest details to rot in the darkness to be forgotten

And today I think it's a better day

If I let that sun come in

Even one ray could be enough

To shine bright all night long

I'll keep it safe all night long

I wanted to tear from things

Only the meaning that makes me feel good

And I left the saddest details to rot in the darkness to be forgotten

And today I think it's a better place

If I let that sun come in

Even one ray could be enough to shine bright all night long

I'll keep it safe all night long

And tomorrow will be a better day

And that's enough for me

Yeah, it's enough for me

SONG MEANING

Negramaro’s "Mi Basta" is like opening a photo album made of feelings. With a playful torrent of images – Christmas lights, attic photographs, bicycle races, secret kisses – the singer gathers tiny slices of everyday life and declares that they are enough. Each snapshot is a reminder that happiness often hides in the corners of ordinary moments, waiting to be noticed.

The chorus reveals the song’s heart: the narrator chooses to "tear from things only the meaning that makes me feel good" and let the sad details fade into darkness. Even a single ray of sunlight can brighten an entire night, so why not protect and cherish that light? "Mi Basta" invites listeners to practice selective memory, focusing on gratitude, hope, and the magic of small joys. In other words, contentment is a conscious choice – and sometimes, just a little is plenty.
