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 have an empty space in my throat

And I can't say, and I can't say

If what’s missing is the word by now

Help me to understand, help me to understand

It's a sob of thoughts

That doesn't let me speak, that doesn't let me speak

Or maybe it's just what yesterday you know

Choked my heart

Tell me, love

At least try to breathe

Slowly, love

There's nothing to fear

It's just cold, love

And you let yourself be warmed

While the world falls

As it falls, I fall too

Without the words

That I wish I could tell you

Yes, I wish I could tell you, tell you, tell you

That I'm tired to death

But the empty space has returned

In my words, in my words

It's a tight knot in my throat by now

That doesn't dissolve yet, that doesn't dissolve yet

And if I stutter, it's that I can't

Tell you what I think, tell you what I think

And I prefer to keep it inside, you know

Rather than shouting, rather than shouting

Tell me, love

At least try to breathe

Slowly, love

There's nothing to fear

It's just cold, love

And you let yourself be warmed

While the world falls

You don't realize that it's me

Making it slide

Under the feet and under the sun

Everything else dies

Without even having the time

The time to try

To bring the sun back

Without more resentment

You repeat to me it’s cold, love

And now I have the words

That I wish I could tell you

And I wish I could tell you

That I'm tired to death

And I don't want to stay anymore

At least leave me the forgiveness

Of a sob and not of a cry

I don't know how to shout, I sing

You don't realize that it's me

Making it slide

Under the feet and under the sun

Everything else dies

Without even having the time

The time to try

To bring the sun back

Without more resentment

You repeat to me it’s cold, love

And now I have the words

That I wish I could tell you

And I wish I could tell you

Tell you, tell you, tell you

That I'm tired to death

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.
