Sing-hiozzo Lyrics in English Negramaro

Home / Lyrics Translation / Negramaro / Sing-hiozzo

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 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

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.
