Sing-hiozzo Lyrics in English Negramaro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sing-hiozzo by Negramaro from Italian to English.
I've got an air void in my throat
And I can't spe-, and I can't speak
If what's missing now is the word
Help me under-, help me understand
It's a hiccup of thoughts
That won't let me spe-, that won't let me speak
Or maybe it's just what, you know, yesterday
Has choked my hea-
Has choked my hea-
Has choked my hea-
Has choked my heart
Just tell me, love
At least try to breathe
Slowly, slowly, love
There's nothing to fear
It's only cold, love
And let yourself be warmed
While the world falls
As it falls I fall too
Without the words
I'd like to tell you
Yeah I'd like to tell you, tell you, tell you
That I'm dead tired
But the air void is back
In my wor-, in my words
It's a tight knot in my throat by now
That still won't unti-, that still won't untie
And if I stutter it's 'cause I can't
Tell you what I thi-, tell you what I think
And I'd rather keep it in, you know
Instead of sho-, instead of shouting
Just tell me, love
At least try to breathe
Slowly, slowly, love
There's nothing to fear
It's only cold, love
And let yourself be warmed
While the world falls
Don't you notice it's me
Letting it slip
Under my feet and under the sun
Everything else dies
Without even having the time
The time to try
To make the sun come back
With no more rancor
You repeat to me it's cold, love
And now I've got the words
I'd like to tell you
And I'd like to tell you
That I'm dead tired
And I don't want to stay anymore
At least let me have forgiveness
Of a sob and not of a cry
I don't know how to shout, I sing
Don't you notice it's me
Letting it slip
Under my feet and under the sun
Everything else dies
Without even having the time
The time to try
To make the sun come back
With no more rancor
You repeat to me it's cold, love
And now I've got the words
I'd like to tell you
And I'd like to tell you
Say, say, say
Say, say, say
That I'm dead tired

SONG MEANING

Imagine feeling so overwhelmed by emotions that every attempt to speak turns into a stubborn little hiccup. That is exactly the state Negramaro paints in “Sing-hiozzo”: a moment where love, fear and exhaustion tangle in the throat, creating a desperate silence. The singer’s words keep breaking off (“non riesco a di… non riesco a dire”), mirroring the anxiety of wanting to confess his fatigue, his tenderness, and his need for warmth, yet being physically unable to let the sentences flow.

Beneath those stuttered syllables lies a touching plea: help me understand, help me breathe, keep me warm while the world collapses. The song swings between vulnerability and resilience, suggesting that music itself becomes the only way out of the paralysis. Rather than screaming, he chooses to sing—transforming a painful hiccup of feelings into a cathartic melody. In the end, the track reminds us that even when words fail, allowing ourselves to be honest, to be warmed by love, and to keep singing can thaw the coldest silence.
